  1. Fertility and Smoking

  2. Clear the air for your fertility, pregnancy and baby • One of the most common questions asked by couples on their fertility journey is “What can I do to improve my chance of conceiving?”    • For the 13% of adults who smoke every day, quitting smoking  is one of the best things you can do, not only if you are trying to conceive but also for your future health, pregnancy and birth.

  3. Quit Smoking

  4. Smoking and infertility • Did you know smoking damages the DNA in your and your partner’s eggs and sperm? For this reason it may be harder and take some couples longer to conceive where one or both partners smoke. • If a woman smokes, it can have affects at each stage of the reproductive process, including egg maturation, hormone production, embryo transport and the environment in the uterus. Women who smoke are also more likely to go through menopause at a younger age.

  5. Smoking and pregnancy • By avoiding exposure to first or second hand (passive) smoke, you give your unborn baby the best chance of normal growth and being born close to full term.  • Forming a strong placenta with healthy blood vessels is critical to sustain a baby’s optimal growth and nutrition in pregnancy.

  6. Smoking and the Baby’s Health • By quitting smoking you reduce your baby’s risk of developing childhood asthma and allergies. You also reduce your baby’s risk of cot death, otherwise known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS.
