You will want to keep as healthy as possible and that especially means stopping smoking. Even a few cigarettes exposes you and your baby to thousands of dangerous chemicals. Remember 80% of smoke is invisible but it’s still harmful.
Live Well Suffolk’s specialist Stop Smoking Clinics in Pregnancy are recommended by midwives and doctors in Suffolk.
We understand that trying to quit smoking is hard work but with our support and encouragement, practical advice and assistance on selecting appropriate Nicotine Replacement Therapy, you are more likely to succeed.
Going smoke free means you are reducing the risks of serious pregnancy complications and preterm labour. You will have more energy, be less stressed and have more money for baby.
Your baby will be at reduced risk of:
- feeding or breathing problems linked to prematurity
- chest infections and asthma
- glue ear causing deafness
- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Cot Death).
Partners and family members who smoke are welcome to attend as well. Make your home smoke free!
