So i'm 12 weeks and after smoking roughly 10-15 cigarettes a day before I got pregnant, i'm down to one or two a day. I was told that quitting cold turky would be worse for my baby (especially dealing with depression and anxiety) so even though I've cut down and plan on quitting some time this week, could there be any significant damage done to my baby? I'm really worried and wish I just would have quit when I first found out..

Damage can be done to a fetus at any time. You can do it!

That's a great job! I'm 11 weeks and I'm down to 5 a day, I was told the same thing about quitting cold turkey. I've been stuck at 5 for a while, I used to smoke 10-15 a day as well. But the sooner you quit, the better off you'll both be. Trust me. Keep up the good work!

Honestly momma there is no telling. But you should be proud of yourself for quitting, no matter when you do it
