Pregnancy and Birth magazine has joined up with professional hypnotherapist Tim Smale to invite you to an exclusive ‘Quit Smoking’ event; discover a new approach to kicking that habit! 

Now you’re pregnant, your baby’s health is the most important thing. When you smoke your unborn baby receives less oxygen meaning his heart has to beat faster. Even if you’ve been smoking through most of your pregnancy, stopping in the last few weeks will have a positive impact. Breaking the habit of a lifetime is tough but hypnotherapy is widely regarded as a powerful aid in quitting smoking. By accessing the subconscious part of your brain in a deeply relaxing way, it’s possible to re-programme your mind to help you give up for good.

How will my baby benefit if I stop smoking?

• Reduced risk of stillbirth

• Less chance of your baby being born prematurely and suffering from related breathing, feeding and health problems

• Your baby is less likely to have a low birthweight – babies of mums who smoke are
on average 7oz lighter than other babies

• Cot death risk lowered. How will my baby benefit if I give up smoking?

More information
Leading hypnotherapist Tim Smale will lead the event on Saturday 10 October.
In a three-hour workshop Tim explains why some people struggle to give up smoking and recommends methods to help you. The seminar finishes with a relaxing 30-minute group hypnosis session to give you confidence in your ability to quit smoking for good. If your partner also smokes, why not attend and quit together? Second-hand smoke affects you and your unborn baby, too. Babies whose
parents smoke are more likely to be admitted to hospital for pneumonia and bronchitis in their first year. At £67 – the cost of about 12 packs of cigarettes – this is an event you (and your baby) cannot afford to miss.
