Some newborns exposed to marijuana have been reported to have temporary withdrawal-like symptoms, such as increased tremors, changes in sleeping patterns, and crying. These symptoms usually go away within 30 days.
Considering this, at what stage of pregnancy does smoking affect the baby?
If you smoke during pregnancy, you are more likely to give birth too early. A baby born 3 weeks or more before your due date is premature. Babies born too early miss important growth that happens in the womb during the final weeks and months of pregnancy.
Just so, is it bad to suddenly stop smoking when pregnant?
If you quit smoking before you become pregnant (or during the first 3 months of your pregnancy), your risk of having a baby with low birth weight is the same as that of a woman who does not smoke. Women who quit later in their pregnancy still reduce the risk of problems for their babies.
Is it better to quit cold turkey or slowly when pregnant?
Kicking the habit is definitely the best thing you can do for you and baby, but there is evidence to suggest that people who smoke 20 or more cigarettes a day are at a small risk of having seizures if they quit cold turkey. So in this case, you may want to wean yourself gradually.
