18 weeks pregnant and just stopped smoking

[jsehmi]

Hi all. Need some help. I used to smoke alot. Almost 20 years and just this past weekend trying to stop. I am 18 weeks pregnant and 40 years old. Please no judgement. Is it safe to have 1 or 2 cigarettes a day?

I agree with the above poster.
No amount is good but good job on dramatically cutting back!!!
I mean i know its very hard but 1 or 2 is much better then smoking a pack ! Just try to eat healthy !
I am only 6 1/2 weeks preg & i still smoke. I smoke about 4 a day & am trying very hard to stop. I have heard many pregnant women stating they smoked while pregnant & had healthy babies but that should'nt encourage us :(
I wish you the best of luck . i also think since you're 40 yrs young , just be careful ; especially because smoking can cause higher chances of miscarriages and stillbirths.
