Answer 1

its not dnagerous. your body will cushion the baby from withdrawal but it will probly be a bit restless

giving up has benifits from 20 minuets after you finish you last ***, the return to normal blood perssure will be good for you and baby so will increased oxygen in your blood after 3 days

Answer 2

GIVE UP NOW!!
The baby may or may not be affected by withdrawal symptoms but the chances are very high that it will have health problems! Asthma and other respiritory diseases especially! It will also stand a very good chance of being under-weight and that has its own consequences! You should have stopped smoking long before you got pregnant or at the very least when you found out you were! With the knowledge made available nowadays no-one has the excuse that they didn't know it might affect them or their child!

Answer 3

what's to be expected if you cut down to only a few cigs a day. your lungs will start to regenerate and break down the mass supply of tar on your lungs and throat, your blood stream will start to purify and your womb will become stronger and more healthy. Your baby will have withdrawls, yes it is addicted already to nicotine, and in some studies your baby could be born with nicotine, tar and all that nasty stuff already in it's newborn body. The only thing that your body will do if you stop smoking now, is get better and start to become healthy again. There is no possibility that you can be as healthy as you were when you started smoking but that's a punishment you have to live with. AS for your baby, stop smoking all together, your baby already is learning behaviours from you now!!! do you really want your baby to start smoking because they learned it from mommy???

Answer 4

"Shame on you" -- for severely cutting back and then quitting? Lovely answers you're getting here.

"The more a pregnant woman smokes, the greater the risk to her baby. However, if a woman stops smoking by the end of her first trimester of pregnancy, she is no more likely to have a low-birthweight baby than a woman who never smoked. Even if a woman has not been able to stop smoking in her first or second trimester, stopping during the third trimester can still improve her baby’s growth."

from the March of Dimes, who aren't exactly low-key about risks during pregnancy. (http://search.marchofdimes.com/cgi-bin/MsmGo.exe?grab_id=0&page_id=4006&query=smoking&hiword=smoking%20)

"Quitting gradually
How it works: You gradually cut back on cigarettes until you're down to zero.
Safety: This method is completely safe"

Google stuff like "effects of quitting smoking during third trimester." Everything points to "good thing, birth weight improves," not "Mummy is horrible and baby will be addicted." Congrats on quitting.

Answer 5

I am sorry, but anyone who smokes while they are pregnant and then asks the question, is this going to harm my baby, or will it be addicted, needs some serious help!

I just recently found out I was pregnant, I've never smoked in my life, but grew up around it, so I knew it wasn't good for the baby. So, I made my husband stop smoking, because I didn't want anything to have an effect on my baby. Second hand smoke is just as dangerous to a baby as what you have put your baby through.

Hopefully for your BABYS sake it comes out alright, but to you shame on you for smoking while you were pregnant...

People like you make me ill...

Answer 6

Cutting down or stopping at any time in pregnency is a good thing. If you still smoke when baby is born, you could have a restless baby for a while until the nicotine gets out of their system. Anything you drink or smoke does reach the baby xxx

Answer 7

short term = weed is extra secure. lengthy term = neither. Smoking regardless of if tobacco or marijuana is undesirable on your well being and could reason lung maximum cancers. Cigarettes are extra addictive so which you will possibly velocity up well being subject concerns swifter than once you're an off-the-cuff smoker. Marijuana, on the different hand, impacts the recommendations and at last impacts short term memory. So perchance it is extra suited to no longer situation with the two. even however a guy or woman could have billion of recommendations cells and smoking weed purely as quickly as purely kills one cellular... the outcomes are no longer stated, yet why kill them needlessly?

Answer 8

the baby might have a few withdrawl symptoms if you stopped recently..however it should be ok after a while as long as u continue to not smoke
even though its bad to smoke when pregnant (or not pregnant) you have done very well to quit especially as you were on 30+ a day...
welldone to you..just keep up the good work

Answer 9

Please quit - you will be doing both of you a favour - speak to your midwife for help as some health boards have antenatal smoking advisers who can support you - you may even be able to get patches on prescription depending on where you stay - I managed to quit for all 3 of my pregnancies around the 7 week mark and last time managed to stay off them for good. you will not believe how quickly you start to feel the benefits. Good luck with the quitting and with baby x

Answer 10

why have you waited till 33 weeks to give up? think what smoke your baby has had to put up with. its abit late to think of the danger now.

i have 2 children and i was smoking up to 15 cigs a day, as soon as i found i was pregnant i never smoked another cig till one month after they were born. now i smoke 5 cigs a day never in the house or even outside when i'm with the kids, only when they're at school do i smoke.

shame on you.
