smokers??

[angela0426]

Are any of u ladies smokers and if you are how often do you smoke daily? I'm a smoker and it's a lot harder to quit than I thought it was going to be and I am worried about what it's going to do to the baby, I'm 28 weeks and 2 days.

My mom smoked with all four of us too. We 2 out of the 4 have asthma. And I'm one of the 2 who has it. And I even smoked.

Hun, just do what you can for right now. Of course you know the consequences of smoking. Everyone does. But don't stress yourself out about it. If you're slowing down, then High five. That's a closer stepping stone to quitting. Maybe now you can only do it once in the morning and once at night. And chew lots of gum in between. Just do what you can for now. :)

My mom smoked with all four of her kids.. i am 20 years old and perfectly fine. and my brothers girlfriend was around second hand smoke and her son is also fine. As long as you arent smoking waaaay too much you should be fine.. I know a lot of people who still smoke while being pregnant and everything turned out oohkaye for the baby.

Keep in mind my mom never once smoked when she was pregnant of me but was exposed to second hand smoke since the people next door were heavy smokers and I came out asthmatic my lungs swell up if I hang around a smoker to long I found out the hard way. Rushed to the hospital and almost died. Just imagine that could VERY well be your child having the same problem I do I really don't think any mother wants to see their child in the hospital with breathing tubs down their throats watching them struggle to breath!
Lord my mom felt guilty and it wasn't even her fault!
You really need to stop don't do it for yourself but for your child!
!!!Asthma is NO joke!!!
I pray your child hasn't already developed it!
-Good Luck hope my story may help.

Thank all of you for your input I really appreciate it. But I have cut down and when I do smoke I only smoke a half at a time, I've also stopped smoking in my house which really helps cause I'm not breathing in all of the second hand smoke also it's just very hard for me sometimes especially when I'm stressed out...
