It all depends on many things, like how long you've been a smoker, etc. Talk to your doctor more specifically about this. As far as /before/ you're pregnant goes, it is wise to quit as soon as you can, before you plan on conceiving. If you are pregnant however, quitting cold turkey is more likely to hurt the baby. Most doctors reccomend weaning slowly off of it so you don't shock the baby too much.
There is a lot of literature on the web about smoking cessation and a lot of clinics & dr's offices have info too. Even check w/ your local hospital and/or health dept, because a lot of them offer smoking cessation classes or support groups.
Best of luck to ya!

As soon as possible, when you smoke while being pregnant the fetus actually stops moving everytime you inhale due to the carbon monxide poisioning. When I was pregnant they showed me a ultrasound of a fetus while the mother was smoking and that is exactly what I seen. Don't believe me if you don't want, but it scared the **** out of me. I quit the next week. Good luck it is a hard habitt to kick.

Quit as soon as you can, especally if you are planning on getting pregnant or if you think you might already be pregnant. Even cutting back is better than nothing, but quitting altogether for your own health as well as the baby's is the best course of action.

As a mother of 5 who quit smoking as well...do NOT try to lose weight while pregnant! Just try to curb your cravings and eat right. Eat for 1. If it bothers you that much, consult a physician.
