when to quit smoking

[lanasmomma]

I just found out im about a month pregnant, i usually smoke a pack a day. But ive only been smoking a few or just half one so i guess am i harming anything by still smoking long as im cutting back and quiting? I never smoked with my first pregnancy so just worried.

I still smoked in my first trimester. Its best not to go cold turkey, I smoked a pack a day. I cut down first to only 5 or 6 then eventually to 2 or 3 some days I only would smoke one and a half. One day I woke up and it made me gag so I put it out and haven't smoked since. I quit at about 13 weeks. I still get cravings though because my boyfriend smokes but I've been strong and tell myself no.

I didnt find out i was pregnant with my first till i was 12wks already but the moment i found out i stopped and again this time round i quit cold turkey the minute i found out... u wouldnt smoke holding your baby when their born so y smoke while there still in the belly... thats there little home for 9 months... thats how i looked at it anyway i actually found it more difficult not to go back to smoking once my daughter was born as there was nothing there anymore telling me i couldnt

Don't quit cold turkey as it can harm you and baby due to withdrawal and stress. Well done for cutting down so much already though! I still struggle sometimes with not smoking as much but it gets better with time x

Luckily for me, I was only smokin 2 cigs a day, so when I found out, I jst quit

Everytime you inhale nicotine it immediately gets passed to your baby through the umbilical cord that connects the both of you together. It retains oxygen from your baby's brain and can cause serious defects. Check out the video on babycenter.com i personally would stop the moment i found out i was pregnant. No passed judgement. Just me.

I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was 6 weeks and smoked up until that time my cousin smoked her whole pregnancy and her babies were healthy I was lucky enough to get sick when I smelled smoke or I wouldn't have been able to quit good luck I know its hard

Okay very helpful. Im just paranoid about loosing the baby, i heard as well that you shouldnt quit cold turkey in the begining. Thats why ive cut back atleast. Like i said very nervous wanted some feedback thanks!:)

Ill be 12 weeks Wednesday and I was told not to stop completely in first trimester because your body can still reject the baby I've slowed down from a pack a day to 4-8 a day and I have a vaporizor also so that does help and my baby is fine

You have to stop asap. I was smoking weed in my first weeks and I was just feeling like ****. So I stop. I know one of my classmate I had was smoking cigs when pregnant and she had misscarriage :( Good luck!!!

everyone has it's own opinions , but it's not pretty with a belly.
