Wow!! Maybe everybody thinks different. That comment was really offensive. But I used to smoke, I would finish a pack every 3 days.. when I found out I was pregnant I stopped.. it was hard but knowing my baby might have health problems helped motivate me to quit.. some ppl say it's selfish for you to keep smoking and maybe it is but now that your so far along you should ask your doc and see what he suggests you.

wow i dont even smoke but i was highly offended by Elixy128 comments that was highly uncalled for. my mom smoked while she was pregnant with all her kids and we are all fine. the only thing that happened was one of my sisters was a twin and theother baby didnt make it but my one sister did, but that could happen to anyone smoking or not. i say just talk to your dr. thats the one person that can give you a good full answer. in the mean time maybe try cutting back as much as you can. i was told you have to put another better habit in place of smoking to help quit its just what ive heard. as i said before i dont smoke but i wish you and your baby the best!

It seriously takes everything you have to quit. Im 19 weeks and have been completely smoke free for 12 weeks. Im beyond proud of myself because like i said it takes a lot out of someone to quit. But good job! Keep up the good work! Dont let negativity bring you down (:

Lol I'm 10 weeks and I still havnt managed to quit. I gave up cold turkey when I found out and caved about 2 weeks later. Now every three to 4 days I smoke about 3 smokes so I'm hoping to give up pretty soon but I have a feeling I won't be able to I have a pretty stressfull job and that's my vice. If you havnt quit by now then don't just cut down to as little as possible. @ elixy128 you are an idiot saying you're being mean to get your point across is stupid because do you really think most people pay attention to trolls like you . While you might know someone who gave up heroin when she got pregnant doesn't mean all of them do there are thousands upon thousands of kids born a year to crack meth heroin addicts. Didn't your mum ever teach you " if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all)

My sister had the same problem. Her OB actually told her that the baby would have withdrawals regardless if she stopped at 28 weeks or not. He was kinda a a** so Idk how much was true lol

My friend quit close to the end of her pregnancy and her baby had the shakes for the first day then she was fine. My mom smoke the whole time with me and I've never had any problems. Shame on the girl that was talking bad to you about it. Great job for quitting

Little girl, how about you get off the internet and get back to school. You're parents should be ashamed, I know mine would be. You're unreal, she came on here looking for advice. You're  the reason some people don't. XxsheslikewhatxX I  applaud you for coming on and asking a honest question. Elixy get educated before you decide to procreate anymore.. Thank you.

No you choose to be a hateful person.. to someone who is trying to do something about her smoking instead you could have said it in a different way.. please tell me how you could possibly know ? Are you a doctor ? If not shut the **** up

Im so sorry that woman just attacked you like that .. that wasnt right in my opinon but coming from someone who does smoke ive talked to my doctor about my smoking and he told me yes of course its not good for your baby but you can put your baby in danger if you do quit.. but if you can quit thats great! I currently still do smoke maybe two a day because i dont want to stress my baby out with withdrawls.. really its all about how your body and the baby deal with it everyone is different

First off what a ***** for her to just start cursing and yelling. NOT EVER ONE CAN JUST Up AND Quit Some THINGS ITS Freaking HAD AND Takes Time AND Yes Quiting Cold Turkey On ANY THINGS CAN Cause Withdraw toWards THE baby but quitting slowly as in cutting down to 1 cig a day then gradually to none is better then just stopping or if your talking about weed same thing
I took hydrocodone my whole pregnancy up until 38 weeks and my baby was perfectly fine I was prescribed it by my Obgyn and I was taki n g 2 a day and went from 2 to 1 then to none and I was fine with no withdrawls
