just curious about a few things

Hey guys I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant with my second child  I was wondering are mood swings normal this early in the pregnancy???

Another question I was told by someone that its OK to smoke whilst pregnant but as long as I you cut down on them because it will stress the baby out if you quit smoking all together just wondering if it is true or not??

I weaned myself off too. I would take a few hits then put it out etc. I was sleeping a lot so that helped too. I chewed cut or ate a lollipop.. just the little dum dum pops.

I weaned myself. Each day I would cut the amount I smoked in half until I didn't smoke anymore. I took a few weeks for me to quit. It is hell though. I had bad migranes, my nausea was worse, mood swings were worse. Its totally worth it though. You feel better BC what you are doing for your baby and you save money for your baby.

Yeah I see my doctor in a few day so I'll ask him  I do stress a lot without smokes only because of thing going on at home but hey I have to learn not to stress..  

I stress a lot and I take it out on the people I love and I hate it !! I was fine with my first baby I didn't stress at all. I guess every pregnancy is different. :-)

Yes very normal that's how we discovered I was pregnant lol and as far as the smoking it depends on the person,  if it's going to make you very stressed out then yes that stress with effect the baby. If you can do it without it getting to you like that it will be fine. Everyone is different.  Not a good question to ask on here because everyone tends to just bash them for smoking in the first place. Your Dr will tell you the best way to quit

Yes mood swings are normal. And it can stress out the baby the longer you smoke into your pregnancy. You should talk to your doctor about it asap.

I've heard it could put the baby in shock if you stop all of a sudden so I'd just wean your way off of them.
