hi dear,
highest chances of damage occur in first trimester of pregnancy.
so if damage occur to child it may occurred but if you quit it it helps you to increased blood flow of baby.
if you continue smoking blood flow to baby decreased and it affects baby much.
so first of all quit smoking.
than do ultrasonography and also consult gynecologist.
Thank you
