I honestly have only smoked one cig since I found out I was pregnant and I couldn't even finish it. I cant even stand the smell of them anymore. If I see them on the ground I automatically get this sick and queasy feeling in my stomach and feel like i'm going to puke. LOL. And the crazy thing is...I still get cravings for them everytime I get stressed. But then I remember what the smell is like and that quickly evaporates. I used my vape to help me as a substitute at first...but now I cant even use that. I think my baby is telling me that smoking is not the move for now. But it is hard to fight those cravings girl...be strong and CUT BACK!!!

Heatherc24 don't feel bad it's really hard to do when I had that cig the other day I felt a lot better in my self. Yes it is not good for the baby but what is worse I asked myself me crying in a heap on the floor and stressing or me sat there having a cig and keeping carm I used to tell my friends think about it if your smoking your baby is coffing inside you and I did feel bad smoking but having one was better than being a mess. Stay carm and keep trying at least you have cut back

I haven't smoked since 10 weeks. I'm going to be 37 on Monday. I get like that sometimes but resist the urge. I think about my baby and how he'll be out soon and how I wouldn't do anything to hurt him and the craving stops.

I was a pack a day smoker. It took me 9 weeks to quit in the beginning of my pregnancy. I cut down a lot even I was quitting. I'm now 34 weeks and I can honestly tell you I crave a cigarette almost every day. I haven't had one since I officially quit but I have days where I just want to light one up. It doesn't help that my boyfriend still smokes around me. I know the feeling though, it's terrible. Stay strong, it'll be okay.

I quit smoking for my pregnancy and I can honestly say I've smoked 2 cigarettes while being pregnant. The taste was soo horrible, i had a hard time inhaling it and i felt guilty afterwards. I would still smoke them if i had to go back tho, idc if that makes me a bad person. My baby is still very healthy. I havent craved a cig since.

You may want one but once you take a drag the taste is horrible.

Nicotine is a teratogen, if you can avoid it I would.

I think you'll be okay. I know how you feel. I was at 2-4 packs a week before I was pregnant. Ive cut down and now will have 1-2 cigarettes a week. Sometimes I have none. Yes, there are risks but its one cigarette. I would just say don't make a habbit of it.
