Smoking tobacco and the risk to baby's health Posted: 07-25-08 08:59am


I was a smoker when I found out I was pregnant. Once I found out, I quit smoking and did great. But over the last couple of weeks I have been really stressed and not done so good. I had one day two weeks ago where I had probably 6 cigarettes. Otherwise between then and yesterday, I had a few days where I had one cigarette or a cigar. Yesterday I had 3 cigarettes. I am not going to smoke anymore. Have I already severely risked my baby's health or if I never pick one up again, should my baby be okay? This is my first so I am really scared that I screwed up bad and cannot believe I inhaled another cigarette.

Current medical status: I am 11 weeks pregnant. It was confirmed by my regular doctor around 6 to 7 weeks. My first OBGYN appointment is next week. Current medical treatment: Just taking vitamins and folic acid. If you continue smoking you can really risk your baby’s health!
