Why stop during your pregnancy?

Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of premature birth, low birth weight, problems with the placenta and cot death. Stopping at any point during pregnancy immediately reduces those risks. Even cutting back helps.

We know that quitting is not easy. Many women feel guilt or shame, especially if it has been going on for a while. We are not for that. We are here to help, not to judge.

How Femme helps

At your first appointment we will ask if you smoke. Answering honestly is to your advantage: only then can we offer appropriate help. We discuss together:

  • What you have tried so far;
  • What makes it difficult to stop;
  • Which support suits you;
  • Or referral to a specialized quit-smoking coach helps.

Referral to specialized coach

We work together with Bravocado — our dietitian partner who also specializes in smoking cessation guidance. Cessation of smoking guidance for pregnant women is fully reimbursed by basic insurance, without a deductible. You don't have to pay anything extra.

What if you don't succeed?

If you are unable to stop in one go, that is completely normal. Cutting down already helps. Every cigarette less is a gain for you and your baby. We will continue to discuss it without pressure.
