Yes but not as horrible as a pack a day. I know it is hard to quit. I fquit the week I found out and that was over 2 months ago ((I'm 14 weeks as well).

I started by instead of smoking an entire cigarette everytime I wanted one I would take a drag or 2 and save the rest for later. I eded up at about 1/2 to 1 cigarette/day and finally decided that I wasn't going to be that woman who is 9 months pregnant and waking into the gas station buying cigarettes.

I actually have 1 1/2 still left in my truck that I kept for "emergencies" but haven't touched them. It was pretty hard at first trying not to smoke, and trying not to substatute food for cigarettes! But, it's a lot easier now on me, the baby, and my wallet!

I would encourage you to quit... with the support of your baby and your loved one's yit'll be a lot easier! Look up smoking while pregnant and you'll make the correct decision I'm sure.

Good luck & congrats!

Well, my mom smoked the whole time she was pregnant with me and my 3 brothers - we all turned out 100% fine - none of us even have athsma...I also smoked while I was pregnant w/my son - he also has no problems.

But, having just found out #2 is on the way I am definately quitting this time!!! For starters, the comments and rudeness you get from people just isn't worth the stress. Not to mention smoking really isn't healthy, especially developing lungs!!

If you're down to 2 a day...why not just quit all together? The key is just saying I'm going to wait "another hour" and "another hour" and "another hour" I'm just going to go to bed...it might take a week or two, but I know I am looking forward to not "needing" cigarettes again!!!

Best of luck to you!!

It's not a good thing, for sure! But don't beat yourself up too much, being pregnant is hard and quitting smoking is three times as hard. Make sure you and your doctor discuss how much you're smoking and try really really hard not to smoke. You may find that you no longer have the urge to smoke once you get farther in your pregnancy.

Good luck!

YES!!! Just second hand smoke could be dangerous but the fact that you are inhaling it directly is even more so. Especially at this time, as your baby is at probably the most important stage of developement. All his/hers organs, the spine, and brain. Talk to your doctor about quiting, as they usually have programs that are very successful and work well with pregnant women trying to quit.

Its good that you cut back but quitting is the best way to go. I made myself quit and I feel so much better but I took too long I quit when i was 5 months! I wish I couldve done it sooner but i didnt find out I was pregnant til I was 15 weeks though either. But quit soon my dear your baby will thank you by breathing better and you will be able to breathe too!

Im a smoker, never smoked while pregnant though.

Yes, low birth weight, possible miscarriage, plus, your baby is getting the nicotene in its sytem, as well as all the bad stuff. You should cut them out, and fast!

second hand smoke is just as dangerous as smoking. of course 2 cigs a day is dangerous.

Stop smoking. Whats wrong with you? You're willing to risk your childs life long health just because you wanted to feel good for a moment while smoking a cigarette? That will be a fun way to explain to you 25 year old why they have cardivascular problems and asthma.

Yes, cigarettes are dangerous to your baby. Please consider stopping immediately for the safety of your baby. Cigarette smoking during pregnancy results in fetal exposure to carbon monoxide and nicotine which increases the risk of an adverse pregnancy outcome. It is well documented that smoking during pregnancy can increase the chances of a wide variety of pregnancy complications. In fact, tobacco is one of the leading causes of prenatal problems. Among the more serious of these problems are vaginal bleeding, miscarriage, abnormal placental implantation, premature placental detachment, prematurely ruptured membranes, and early delivery. It has been suggested that as many as 14 percent of preterm deliveries are related to cigarette smoking. There is also strong evidence that an expectant mother's smoking adversely affects her baby's development in the uterus. The most widespread risk is low birth-weight. In industrialized nations, smoking is blamed for as many as a third of all babies who are born too small - and being born too small is the major cause of infant illness and perinatal death (those that occur just before, during, or after birth). Babies of smoking mothers are more likely to suffer from apnea (breathing lapses) and are twice as likely to die of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome, or crib death) as babies of nonsmokers. In general, babies of smokers are not as healthy at birth as babies of nonsmokers. There is also evidence that, on average, babies of smokers may never catch up to the children of nonsmokers, that they may have long-term physical and intellectual deficits, and that they may also be hyperactive. At age 14, one study showed, children of smokers tended to be more prone to respiratory disease, to be shorter than children of nonsmokers, and to be less successful at school. It was once believed that the reason for the deficiencies these children display was poor prenatal nutrition in that the mothers smoked rather than ate during their pregnancies. But recent studies disprove this theory. Smoking mothers who eat as much and gain as much weight as nonsmoking mothers still give birth to smaller babies. This seems to be the result of carbon monoxide poisoning and a reduction of oxygen to the fetus through the placenta.

Yes, of course!!!! Smoking is dangerous to anyone, period! Especially when you're pregnant! It's a dirty, expensive habit and I really can't understand why people even want to keep doing it!
