The findings, from the University of Nottingham and University of York, have been published in the journal Addiction. They found that while 13% of women who enrol on smoking cessation programmes do quit during pregnancy, 43% restart within six months of giving birth.
For the study, scientists looked at the success of women who used smoking cessation services to help them quit. Using a number of trials, involving almost 1,000 women who took part in stop smoking programmes between 1989 and 2014, they discovered that only a small amount of women who tried to quit smoking actually succeeded.
Smoking during pregnancy has been linked to numerous health issues including premature births, miscarriages, stillbirths and sudden infant deaths.
Public Health England has said more action is needed to help expectant mothers quit smoking for good.
Rosanna O'Connor, Public Health England, is quoted as saying: "While the rate of women smoking during pregnancy continues to fall, further action is needed to support those who find it more difficult to stop and to help those who do stop, to stop smoking forever.
"It is vital to protect babies from smoke during pregnancy and in the early months of life. The best protection for mothers, their babies and partners is to quit smoking for good."
