I heard if you are a heavy smoker (20 a day) and you just stop when you find out you are pregnant, it can be harm full to your baby? They say your body is under s lot of stress when you quit,and you pass that stress onto you baby. Is it better to stop gradually?

I want to quit smoking, and I know this may sound petty, but I don’t want to gain a lot of weight. What can I do to prevent this and also, for those of you who have quit smoking, can you offer any suggestions on how to get started? What worked for you?
Thanks a lot!
Peace.
