Yea smoking is not good it would be best
if you quit but I understand that it would
be hard to just stop but some people smoke
all during their prengnancies and their
babies are fine but I wouldnt recomend it.
At least cut down some

Well from what my doc said and what I read
online, as long as you quit before ur 4th
month u should be ok but I would try your
hardest to quit now. The sooner the
better. Smoking does have very serious
effect on your baby. ~ erica.

Not only can smoking cause low birth
weight, but it makes their lungs develop
slower....So lets say you went into labor
early....Your babys lungs may not be
ready. Cut down...If you can't quit. I
know of many babies that were born from
smoking mothers and they were fine. I
also smoked occasionally while pregnant,
and my daughter was pretty healthy.

I agree.. Quit if u can seriously.. But
also, see ive heard its actually worse
during the 1st 4 months because thats when
all major development is going on.. How
far are u by the way? And how much are u
smoking? If u really cant quit, then cut
down, but everyone can quit, it just takes
a lot of trying and strength.

My cousin smoked through both of her
pregnancies-one of her sons have serious
hearing problems due to glue ear as a
direct result of smoking and the other has
chronic asthma and theyre aged 1 and
4.Please think about that little baby
growing inside u who relies on u.Im sure
you're doctor will help u quit smoking.

There is alot you need to do when your
pregnant smoking is one of them-- I
actually think its selfish to smoke when a
life is depending on you-- I know its hard
to quit-- but your baby should give you
enough will power- I quit the day I found
out I was pregnant- a girl I new smoked
when she was pregnant-- and the poor baby
was so small and was in the hospital for a
little over a month- how sad how
could you not quit-?
