Did you know? : Smokers who use Stop Smoking Wales are four times more likely to quit
Benefits of stopping for pregnancy
Help your baby have a healthy start
We know how hard it can be to give up smoking especially if you've tried to quit before. But it's never too late to stop smoking when you're pregnant.
Stopping smoking when pregnant can be a good time to give up as many women stay stopped for good.
Most mums know that smoking whilst pregnant isn’t good for them or their baby. The good news is that by stopping smoking both you and your baby will benefit immediately.
Benefits include:
- Reduced risk of complications in pregnancy and labour
- Improved chances of giving birth to a healthy baby
The sooner you stop the greater the benefits for you and your baby. However, knowing the benefits of quitting for both you and your baby’s health doesn’t make it any easier to quit.
We can support you by:
- Offering sessions are held in local community venues (during the day or early evening)
- Offering you the choice to join a group or be seen one-to-one
- Catering for your needs, and can offer part of the programme via the telephone
- Providing information on Nicotine Replacement Therapy products to help you quit
