Have any of you ladies smoked through your pregnancy and your child is completely fine...I haven't smoked at all since I found out I was pregnant but sometimes my nerves and my stress level is so ooverboard I just want to smoke.

I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant, but throughout the course of the first like 4 months I smoked 6 cigarettes total. This was spanned out of course and I felt horrible for doing it, but I was in the same boat as you, stress was getting to me far too much. I weighed the health risk of smoking below the risk of that amount of stress. Whether I was right or not, I don't know. But I am 32 weeks now, haven't smoked at all since that last one in the beginning and my baby girl is doing wonderful. I wouldn't recommend smoking at all, but I have heard that huge amounts of stress are far worse for your baby and pose more of a risk. I'm not a doctor though, don't know how Mich truth there is in that. I've also gone through so much stress through my pregnancy, far past even quitting smoking, and my baby is still fine. So just make your own judgment, there's really no facts about it unfortunately.

While there are women who smoke and still have healthy babies sometimes, there is still a reason pregnant women are advised to stop smoking. You've already quit and that's the hard part. Just stay strong and keep resisting the urge. It took me from 4w till 8w to wean myself off smoking and even now at 24&4 I still get an occasional urge but I tell myself no. I want to be able to stay off cigarettes for good.

I gave up smoking at 6 weeks and have only had a couple of smokes since then. I'm 22 weeks now and everything is fine. Half a ciggy shouldn't hurt but I'm not recommending it..

Doctors recommend cutting back and then quiting. Not quiting all at once. My first two pregnancies i quit smoking the day i found i was pregnant. I lost them both

I never knew a doctor could recommend smoking to be good while pregnant but I guess its the first time for everything

Not me but my bf coworkers gf is also pregnant. Is about 15 weeks and has been smoking the entire time i believe. She went to the emergency room for some reason and the doctor advised her not to stop smoking because the baby is addicted and might stress out if she stops. Not 100% if its true but I believe it makes sense in a way. He probably asked her to do something else too. Hopefully
