Do any of you smoke cigarettes and are
pregnant? If so how much do you smoke and
how often? Please respond if this applies
to you.

Some women smoke throughout their whole
pregnancies and are fine. However, some
will have one or two cigarettes and have a
mess of problems.
What happened to one woman has nothing to
do with what will (or will not) happen to
another.
So, it is really up to you. Is a
cigarette worth your babies health?

I hope u dont smoke and are preg? But im
assuming maybe u do from the post. I
definitly dont, and definitly wouldnt. I
know people who have been *lucky* to get
away with it and have healthy babies. But
I also know some who werent so lucky and
have had problems because of it that their
babys had to suffer with. Its sooo not
worth it. To me its part of being a good
mom before the baby comes (to stop smoking
asap)

Ok I agree, I smoked b4 I was pregnant, as
soon as I found out that I was pregnant
with my first baby I quit, it was really
hard for me to do because I had been
puffing away for 7 years, never realising
how bad I must have smelt, or how good
food really tastes.......... The thing is
I believe that babies have no choice, if
the mothers a smoker then the baby is a
smoker, and I wanted my little ones to be
non smokers.......

I smoked before I found out I was
pregnant. As soon as I found out I quit.
It was hard but totally worth it. I
too never realized how nasty I smelt and
how much easier it is to breathe!!
Seriously!! And I don't cough anymore.
I'm not as sick all the time either.

cigarettes a day it should be fine but I

I dont smoke and I am pregnant, I was just
wondering because before (a while before)
I used to smoke every once in a while and
I have been very stressed out lately and I
kinda miss it. I dont want to do anything
to hurt my baby, I love her more than
anything. I just posted this post because
I was curious. Sorry if I got any of you
mad and made you think I smoked.

I've had 2 friends that smoked through
their whole pregnancies and had healthy
babies but I didn't want to take that risk
b/c I worked in labor and delivery and
seen all kinds of babies born
w/complications due to smoking or not
smoking. I smoked before I got pregnant
but I quit as soon as I found out. One
day not to long ago I wanted a cig sooooo
bad so my husband let me have one of his
and it made me sick! I haven't wanted one
since! Maybe try taking a drag off
someone else's b/c chances are you won't
like it since it's been a while and it
will make those cravings stop. It worked
for me!
