There's always that: Possibility, along with premature delivery and low birthweight. Try your best to quit smoking b4 it's too late. Let' hope and pray it won't happen! http://www.babycenter.com/0_how-smoking-during-pregnancy-affects-you-and-your-baby_1405720. http://www.babycenter.com/0_quitting-smoking-during-pregnancy-compare-your-options_1406034.bc.

Unlikely to happen: Smoking does cause the placenta to begin deteriorating quicker and most infants to smoking mom's will weigh at least a half pound less than otherwise.There is also some increased crib death risk if born into a smoking household and other health issues.Stopping now can begin to have health benefits for you and baby immediately.I would not loose sleep over this issue.
