Im 6 weeks pregnant and cant stop.  I hide it from everyone so that I am not judged.  Glad there is a group of people like me. I smoked with my first child and he was 8lbs 11oz.  

It just frustrating for me right now.  I dont know if I can quit this time either.

 Hey there momma:

You are in the right place!!! Glad you could join,  I smoked thrugh all three of my pregnancies and all three were healthy and fine.  How much are you smoking?  I'd say about 95% of the moms in here smoked while pregnant and about 65% smoke in the home around the kids.  There's no reason hun to feel guilty for smoking while preg.  You will be fine i'm sure of it.  ANd, now you have all this wonderful support here.  So keep lighting up!!!!!!!!!!!  and enjoy your pregnancy.

I remember how bad it feels to have to hide it. At least my fiance knew and my mom smoked also and made me feel better. I couldn't quit, it was an unplanned pregnancy and quitting made me stress really bad. I just made a deal with myself to only smoke when I actually really wanted one, not just out of habbit. I ended up cutting back from a little over a pack a day to half a pack or less. My son was 7lb 8oz and is amazingly healthy. We only smoke around him in the car now, which no one knows about but me and df. He's 4 months old and a super chub and has never had so much as a sniffle!

I smoked during my second preg, but I just cut down to where i only smoked when I was really needing one.  he was born 8 lb 9 oz and healthy, and I went back to regular smoking as soon as I got home.

I am about 27 weeks along right now and I am still smoking.  I only smoke about 5 a day so I don't worry too much about it.  The worst part about it is buying while pregnant but at least now in the winter I just wear my heavy coat and it just looks like i am fat   LOL.

It is so nice to know I'm not alone.  I've been crying for days because I've only been able to cut back to around 4 a day.  It is such a hard addiction to break and even though my mom and husband keep assuring me everything is fine, I still worry about what I could have possibly done to my baby.  Its a viscious cycle - I stress and worry and then I want to smoke.  Ugh!

[Dena26036]

I personally don't think that you should worry about it.  You are smoking so little that it won't have any effect on your baby.  Stop stressing over it, that is probably worse than the smoking.

I dont think there is a reason to hide it. I just tell them to mind their own damn business. I smoked with my daughter and she was perfectly fine. I will continue to smoke until the end with this baby to. They have anything to say then screw them. I really don't care. It's really yor chose and your body. Its not like doing drugs or drinking and your baby coming out addicted to that. I see nothing wrong with it.
