I smoked until I was two months pregnant. My doctor said that 2 or 3 cigarettes a day was better than me going through withdrawals and stressing about wanting a cigarette. So I cut back from a pack a day to 2 or 3 cigarettes a day, and then one day I just didn't want one anymore. It is easy for people who don't smoke to tell you that you need to quit, but it is a lot harder than that. Stress is way more likely to affect your baby than a couple of cigrettes a day. I promise, soon your mommy instincts will kick in and you will hate the way they taste and smell and not want one anymore. Also, yes, marijuana is completely safe to smoke during pregnancy, but if you are going to smoke it, please talk to your doctor about when you should stop so that you don't get the baby taken away. I'm sorry this is long but hope it helps!!!

@tavi12 I wouldn't do it while pregnant due to the fact that 1st of all just because it didn't hurt one baby doesn't mean it wont hurt another and 2nd of all anything that could get your baby taken is just not worth it. i smoked before i got pregnant but quit when i found out for those reasons. My morning sickness was so awful i ended up dehydrated and had a visit to hospital but refused to smoke marijuana even tho it would have helped.

Yep they take your baby away. And if you have other kids they take them to. It happened to my cousin.

@tiaathomas i have heard also that smoking marijuana is completely safe during pregnancy and one study actually proves it. BUT, i have also heard that they drug test all newborns and moms and if its in baby system they will take your baby.

The way I see it if you know your pregnant or are trying to conceive stop anything that could potentially harm your child right away. I know it's hard but remember what your doing it for and how it will affect your baby. If it's bad for you it's bad for your baby too!

Smoking while pregnant can limit the amt of oxygen to baby, cause prematurity and low birth wt, give baby lung problems, as well as cause miscarriages.
So I would suggest weaning yourself now for the health and wellness of your baby.

Definitely do NOT smoke... it's not even worth taking a chance ever.  Not to mention how dangerous it is for your baby, it's horrible for you.  Wish you the best of luck to quit! :-)

Hi, what makes you think you are three days pregnant?  Do you mean, you had sex three days ago and now you want a ciggy but don't want to do it in case you conceived three days ago?  Well ............ it's never a good idea to have a cigarette, and having nicotine in your system from three days ago when presumably you were not worried that you were pregnant is an existing fact whether you have a cigarette today or not.  So, nicotine should not be in your body if you are pregnant, but one more will not make it a lot worse if you conceived only three days ago.  If you do find out you are in fact pregs, it's time to pull out all the stops and no longer smoke, hard though that is.  The baby will attach to your uterine side wall in the next few days if you did get pregnant, and you need to stop smoking.
