Smoking and Pregnancy

 

It’s always smart to quit smoking, but it’s especially crucial if you’re pregnant.

Research shows that cigarettes have adverse affects on virtually every part of your body. If you’re pregnant, toxic chemicals from smoking travel to your baby and can cause premature labor, birth defects and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

There are many resources to help you quit:

* See your OB/GYN, midwife or healthcare provider.

* Call the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line.

* Visit one of these websites geared to help pregnant women quit:
