I smoked before I got pregnant and as soon I found out I was pregnant I quit right away. (I wasn't a very heavy smoker though, two cigarettes a day if that). It causes a lot of issues for the baby. It effects their lungs and brain development, can cause miscarriage, pre term labor, a breech baby, and the list goes on. it's important to try to quit!! I have faith in you, for your baby!
