stopping smoking before 15 weeks' gestation is associated with rates of infants similar to those in women who do not smoke
Data from this large prospective cohort study of nulliparous
women have shown that stopping smoking
before 15 weeks’ gestation is associated with rates of
spontaneous preterm birth and small for gestational
age infants similar to those in women who do not
smoke in pregnancy. Maternity care providers should
strive to assist pregnant women who smoke to stop
early in pregnancy, emphasising the major health benefits
if they cease to smoke before 15 weeks’ gestation.
