#5 It's not a myth!
There's a lot of myths, to-do's and not-to-do's surrounding pregnancies.

#3 Two worlds
See the ultrasound images above?
There are two babies here(one on the left hand side and the other on the right hand side). They are of the same age, perfectly identical in all aspects. Except for one thing...
I will let you take a guess as to what is wrong. And which baby is in distress.....
#2 The reason for difference is..
A mother. And the fact that she's smoking.
The baby in the first picture is under stress because the mother is smoking. It is heartbreaking to watch this new life struggle so hard due to no fault of its.
The baby below it is perfectly normal, meaning the mother is not smoking.
See? Do you want to smoke even after seeing this?
Whether it's passive or active smoking, keep in mind that your body is not just yours and there's a life growing inside you.
#1 Smoking is BAD!
It's not news to us that smoking is bad in general itself.
But that hasn't stopped us from doing it..
STOP SMOKING. Not for yourself but for that little person growing inside your womb who will suffer the consequences of YOUR smoking.
Let their future start bright.
