My pregnancy was happy surprise. Unfortunately, I've been a smoker for 7 years (I know, yuck). My doctor told me not to quit cold turkey because the stress could be harmful to the baby. I'm down to two a day which is nothing compared to what I used to smoke. But every time I do smoke I feel so guilty. My poor baby is working so hard. It's heart breaking. Are any mama's in the same position?

I think you should try vaping, you'll still get nicotine. And you'll be able to cut back, without all the tar and other harmful chemicals.

I smoked almost 2 packs a day when I found out I was pregnant. If you cut back too quickly it can be very harmful. You're doing good!! Just cut back slowly.

It took me getting pneumonia at 9 weeks pregnant and put in the hospital for me to quit! But there is not a day that goes by where i don't think about it especially since my husband still smokes...

I was a smoker and slowly quit over 2 weeks after I found out. My aunt smoked throughout her whole pregnancy and now her kid has extreme asthma and all sorts of breathing problems. He does breathing treatments and will have to until he's 5. So while some kids might be fine it wasnt worth the risk to me.

I smoked a pack a day when I found out I was pregnant with my oldest. I quit the next day. Cold turkey. Its not always bad for the baby.

Unfortunately I have been a smoker for 13 years and I was never able to quit throughout any of my pregnancies. Luckily my kids are fine but I feel horrible every time I smoke. I'm not smoking like I used to but I still do smoke. It's been hard for me to quit cuz it's like every time I get close to quitting something happens and it stresses me out and there we go again. People shouldn't judge you because of it but if you ever need to talk I'm here. Just know you're not alone
