TL;DR
Knowing the planning status of a pregnancy can help identify women who may need support to engage in prenatal behaviors that are associated with healthy outcomes and appropriate infant care.

Adverse social circumstances are associated with preterm birth but smoking is not, apart from an association with very early births, which runs counter to findings for fetal growth in this study, where a strong effect of smoking on fetal growth was observed but there was no evidence for any association with psychosocial factors.
DemographyThe Predictive Validity of Reproductive Intentions
316 Citations1977Charles F. Westoff, Norman B. Ryder
The main finding about aggregate prediction is that 1970 intentions overestimated 1971–1975 fertility to the same extent as the conventional 1970 total fertility rate.

Inadequate weight gain during the third trimester as opposed to excessive gain, defined specifically for each pre-pregnancy weight status, was predictive of preterm birth.

172 Citations1995Sue Cliver, R GOLDENBERG +4 more
All neonatal anthropometric measurements studied showed some negative effect of maternal cigarette smoking, including birth weight, crown-heel length, ponderal index, head and abdominal circumferences, arm length and circumference, femur length and thigh circumference, and triceps, thigh, and subscapular skinfold measurements.

99 Citations1986Stephanie J. Ventura, S M Taffel
Compared with non-Hispanic mothers, Hispanic mothers were much less likely to have smoked before or during pregnancy, and these data are examined to see if they account for the better outcome as measured by birth weight for Hispanic births, especially those to foreign- or Puerto Rican-born women.
American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyRisk factors for small-for-gestational-age birth in a preterm population
21 Citations1992Janet M. Lang, Amy Cohen +1 more
Toxemia, weight gain, and race are likely risk factors for small-for-gestational-age birth in both preterm and term populations; within the already high-risk domain of prematurity, maternal smoking did not appear to confer added risk for small.
