Pregnant and smoke

Pregnant and smoke

Hi, I am 14 weeks pregnant. I was at a party on staurday. We were in this small little room and everybody smoked. When we went home my mouth tasted like smoke and I felt like I had smoked two packs myself. The night I was coughting like crazy and next morning my chest felt as if I was smoking. Do you think I should go to a doctor nd see if the baby is still fine? Would this kill the baby? I have had no cramps so it should be fine, I have a scan on thrursday. But do you think this is really bad for the baby? I am soooooooooo woriied? I have heard of women who smoke during pregnancy and their babies are fine. So I am hoping that this one night sitting in heaps of smoke will not kill my baby. Please let me know if you think everything is okay?

One night will not matter.  I gave up smoking when i found out i was pregnant and apparently any risks will be that of a non smoker by the time my baby is born and that was from me smoking about 15 cigarettes a day.  So one night of sitting in a smokey atmosphere won't cause any harm.  However if you were regularly smoking or being in that kind of environment it might be different.  I have been to maybe five places throughout my pregnancy that were a bit smokey, which i did not enjoy because i did feel guilty, so just say no in future that's what i did in the end.

Some people won't like this, but meh, I've got enough stress that I personally don't need to add quitting smoking to it all right now.  I smoked with my last pregnancy (I cut down a lot), and I've smoked with this one (cut down from 2 packs a day to less than 1/2 a pack).  So far so good with this one, and the last was healthy as could be.

I went to watch a band when I was abotu 12 weeks. It was smoky, but before I went I asked the OB nurses. I was told one night is fine. Just don't make a habit of it. Not the best, but I'm sure it's fine.
