Pereira G, Dunne J, Regan AK, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for estimating the prevalence of maintenance of smoking cessation at second pregnancy and the associated relative risk of preterm birth. This was a longitudinal study that used retrospectively obtained records of births to multiparous women who smoked during their first pregnancy in New South Wales from 1994 to 2016 (N = 63,195 mothers). Around 34% (N = 21,540) of women who smoked during their first pregnancy did not smoke in the second pregnancy. Despite smoking during the first pregnancy, more than one-third of women achieved and maintained smoking cessation in their second pregnancy, with encouraging levels of preterm risk reduction. It is well known that the period following birth offers an opportunity to reduce smoking-related morbidity for both the mother and the neonate. The findings suggest that this period also gives an opportunity to prevent morbidity of future pregnancy.
