Smoking with Unplanned pregnancy
Hi, My wife used to smoke and we just found out that we are pregnant. Since we were smoking and were unaware of this pregnancy, is there any chance that it may lead to any complications in the child ?
Also we just got vaccinated a few days back by covishield.
Does that can have any implications ?
