A member asked:
I started smoking a month before i found out i was pregnant. i stopped when i found out. but i smoked 5 or 6 cigs today. did i hurt my baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Smoking throughout pregnancy creates several problems but stopping now will protect baby. Nicotine and the other toxins involved with smoking lead to a weakening of the placental blood vessels, a smaller baby, and higher crib death rates after birth.Congratulations for making the effort, and good luck.
