Pregnancy Info HOME

i understand u have an addiction...but some things are worth suffering for. if you knew you had such a problem then you should protected yourself more not to get pregnant until you knew u could quit. you do have that chance to have a normal child but a few smokes r not worth the risk. good luck

just wanted to let you know it is bad to smoke while pregnant but I smoked with my 2nd and he is prefectly normal not saying that is so for everyone now I am 17wks with my 3rd and I have stopped smoking well at work I do take a couple of drags off my friends once and awhile but I don't smoke a full cig maybe you should try to smoke only half of the cig and cut back to maybe start at 6 aday then cut back more and more til you only smoke around 1 or 2 a day that way it is not so hard believe me hon I am suffering but not so much anymore you get used to not smoking so you kinda forget about it atleast I have so far good luck

I really do not want to come off sounding like I am preaching so please forgive me if it seems that way. I know ppl will say that they smoked their entire pregnancy and there was no problems but please do not take that as an excuse to continue smoking. Also ppl will say that the stress to quit is worse on the baby then the smoking, that is another poor excuse. I smoked for 5 years before I got pg the first time and I thought it was ok to have one here or there and I miscarried at 15 weeks. No, there is no definate proof that smoking caused it but I am sure it did not help either. 3 years later I was lucky to get pg again and this time I quit completely and had a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby. Sure I missed smoking and I even would have dreams where I was smoking but I told myself over and over that smoking could harm my baby and I do not want to hurt my baby in anyway, she didnt deserve that. Please, everytime you think you want a ciggie, think real hard about what harm you could do to your baby. Would you b__w smoke in an infants face? Of course not, so what is the difference when the baby is still inside you? I am begging you and anyone else that is smoking while pg to PLEASE give your baby a chance to come into this world healthy and stop smoking!
