Maternity Stop Smoking Service

When a mother-to-be smokes her baby may not grow healthily. Smoking in pregnancy increases the chances of miscarriage, baby being born prematurely, sudden infant death and other health complications. Women who smoke are more likely to have life-threatening complications during pregnancy and labour than non-smokers.

All pregnant women regardless of whether they smoke or not will be offered Carbon Monoxide (CO) testing at every antenatal appointment as part of their routine care. Women are encouraged to refer themselves if they wish, consenting partners and/or family members will be supported as well.

We offer free Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), behavioural support therapy, and vapes on the swap-to-stop scheme.

We are a friendly non judgemental service who offers pregnant women, non-binary people and trans men, and their families support and treatment to stop smoking.

Stopping smoking in pregnancy is THE very best thing you can do to ensure your baby is in the very best of health and has the best possible chance of a healthy start. We are here to support and guide you using a range of treatment options and support.

Contact us and make a difference to not only your health but that of your unborn baby.
