I'm 34 weeks pregnant and haven't been able to quit smoking, i sometimes will have up to ten cigarettes a day. how harmful is that to my baby?

Consider them: Infants of smokers tend to be 1/2 pound lighter than expected & face higher crib death rates and respiratory infections.Smoking also begins ti age the placenta & makes it less nourishing.It is never helpful to a baby & may predispose them to an unhealthy life.
