My dr told me if i quit that i would lose my child...i never planned my pregnancy, and was a heavy smoker for a month before i found out i was pregnant. I just went to a specialist and my sons limbs/bones are perfectly formed. His lungs are perfect along with his heart. His brain is formed perfectly, and his umbilical cord is pumping the right amount of blood through the right amount of tubes. Yes i had a scare of a cleft lip, but he does not have one. Do i hate smoking while pregnant? Yes. But if i quit my stress will go up so high i would harm not only my son, but myself as well.
I'm with @gulfcstgurl , I had been trying to quit, and still am, before this darling baby made an appearance, but she came a bit sooner than intended. I've cut back enormously, but being a smoker for several years has made quitting entirely something I'm not sure how to do. Neither my dr nor my counselor has had much help to offer, but my midwives are very glad that I've managed to reduce as much as I've been able to. I absolutely hate that I have not been able to quit so far. I feel terrible for it. But baby is thankfully developing healthily. Trust me, I know how important it is to quit, but a little empathy goes a long way.
i had my first child at 23 and I had been smoking since 15 I quit cold turkey 3 weeks after finding out I was pregnant with my twins (the oldest) (tho I lost one) and never looked back and so happy my doctor never said anything other than it was better for the 🚼s I hope y'all find a safe healthy way to quit
