Newports & Pregnancy?

Question

I've been smoking Newports for a long time and I just recently found out i'm pregnant. I won't lie it's very hard for me to kick the habit so i cut down to smoking maybe 2-3 cigarettes a day. Will this cause any major issues with growth of the baby? I do plan on stopping completely but I would just like to know if it can cause any health issues, birth defects, or miscarriage.

Answer 1

I know they say its not good to smoke while pregnant. My sister and best friend both are pregnant and smokers. My sister is having trouble with her pregnancy she is 22 weeks and has been put on bed rest, and diagnosed with preeclampsia and congestive heart failure. I cannot blame that one smoking but who knows. On the other hand my friend is also 22 weeks along and smokes and her baby is doing just fine. I really think it depends on your history but still smoking while pregnant isn't a good idea and while it is going to be hard to quit just hang in there its better for the little one if you stop. Good luck and congrats!

Answer 2

Yes smoking can cause some problems

Read this article and you can do a search for "smoking while pregnant" on any search engine.

You really need to think about your baby...yes it is hard but you do not want anything to happen to your child. So just think of your baby and quit. I use to smoke and quit just like that when I found out I was pregnant with my first child, never went back either because I know how important my child is to me in my life.

I am not proud of this, but I smoked while pregnant but only 2-3 per day as well and my daughter turned out fine. I always hid so people couldn't see me b/c it looks awful for some reason to see a pregnant woman smoking. I just wonder if b/c I did smoke while pregnant if my daughter will smoke as an adult. I don't want her too. She doesn't even know I smoke now and she's in second grade.

Keep going until you do quit. You have to remember that anything you take into your body, the baby takes into its body. What you breath it will breath. Smoking actually cuts off oxygen to the baby, which cutting off oxygen can be damaging. It can cause low birth weight, brain damage... There are other things as well. The baby could be more prone to ear infections and lung infections after it's born. Ear infections can turn out to be a big mess for your kids. I have 2 step children whose mother smoked while she was pregnant. They both were diagnosed with ADHD, and last year we had to have tubes surgicaly implanted in their ears because we had to rush them to the ER every month for bad ear infections. The tubes have helped, but its definate damage to their ears, which because of the hearing problems it caused, their speach is impaired as well.
They say there is no definate evidence, but when you see it happen to your children, you know better.
Maybe you will get lucky as I did with both of mine, I had to quit smoking as well, but with both of my pregnancies, the cigs made me so sick every time I started to smoke I just gave up on it. They made me physicaly sick.
Smoking does cause lung cancer, throat cancer. I'm sure you have known someone or known of someone who died from it. I have known a number of people.
The sooner you quit the better, and yes it is difficult, but when you consider the consequences, its worth it.
One other thing, if you think the first couple of months don't matter, think again. Quite the contrary they are the most important. The first trimester is the easiest to miscarry, it is when the fetus is making its biggest and most important growth. The first 3 months tends to be when your doctor warns you to be easy with what you do. The smaller it is, the more delicate it is. You really don't want to hurt the chances for your baby in any way, because should anything happen, you will have that on your conscience for the rest of your life. I don't mean to be dramatic, but I had to go through the same thought process myself, and by doing a lot of research, and talking with my doctor, this is what I found out.
I hope things work out for you.
Congrats!

go to phillipmorris.com

because of the big lawsuit the tobacco companies lost, they had to make a truth website about the dangers of smoking and one of the biggest is to a fetus.

I know it is hard to quit, but if you have a low birth weight baby or one with other problems, you will wish you had. Maybe you will get morning sickness and that will help you quit. LOL.

It is hard for you at this early stage to bond with the little life inside you that depends on you for its everything, but believe me, at its first kick, you will feel really protective and be amazed at the miracle that is you carrying your offspring. It can be a great motivator to stop smoking. It worked for my sister-in-law and she was smoking unfiltered Camels at the time.

Good luck with that, and congratulations.
