My cousin was smoking a pack a day and her doc advised her while it isn't the best for the baby to smoke it is almost worse for her to quit because she would be so stressed out and would of had a worse outcome.  She got herself to smoke no more than like 4 a day she says. Her daughter had a lot od breathing issues and was sick a lot as a newborn but shes a healthy smart crazy 5 year old now!

You need to completely stop. It made me sick so it was easier for me to but I was a ***** the whole time. It goes away though

Try cutting down. quitting smoking suddenly can stress your body which is worse than smoking.

You definitely need to stop. But wean yourself.  Pick up another oral habit like gum. It will help distract you.

Should I completely stop? I heard it was more stressful to me nd the baby if I went cold turkey? Causing excess stress

3years I'll be 21 november 15th nd I have my birthday gift. We chose to have this baby because my mom is dying of breast nd lung cancer. I feel so bad smoking but god knows if I dont… I'm far from nice. Nd pushing ppl away while going through my first pregnancy isn't what I wanna do.

I was smokin a pack of menthols a day and since I found out I was pregnant im down to 3 or 4. I would just go and smoke maybe a quarter to a half of one at a time and try to pace myself. Every couple of days try to cut a cigg a day out. Also tryin to push my cravings for after meals when I really need one has helped also.

I've been going thru the same thing but I have quit. I mean I'm hell on wheels but I know I had to quit. I would tell you to talk to your ob they may have some better alternatives! It's not the worse thing you can do while pregnant but it's not healthy either! I hope you get everything worked out love and thank you for your service!
