I had a friend that actually continued to smoke in the beginning and stopped later in her pregnancy and had a healthy baby, I'm sure you should be fine. Congrats and good luck  :-)

You have a 10-15% chance till after 13 weeks. If you are pregnant with multiples, your chances increase.If you ssmoke, do drugs, drink, have a poor diet, or are overweight your chances for miscarriage increase. Don't stress too much. Take care of yourself and take vitamins everything else is out of your control. Most likely you'll be fine!
