before i found out i was pregnant, i was a smoker. this pregnancy was a surprise, and i’m very overjoyed. but, i was kind of farther along than most when i found out, 9 weeks. so since i’ve found out, i’ve cut down how much i smoke significantly, but i still feel so guilty. i had my last today, and won’t buy any more. i’ve googles a lot about smoking and early pregnancy, but i’d like to know from other experiences as well. have any of you smoked in early pregnancy, either not knowing you were pregnant or trying to cut down, and had complications? i’m so worried and every little feeling in my belly such as a cramp i get i freak out and get scared that something will happen. please share your experiences, and please keep your words kind as i already know women should not smoke while pregnant, and i’ve already had my very last cigarette. i want to be the healthiest i can while pregnant, and any tips to help me through the withdrawals will help me too. i’m open to any advice or stories.

also update i am 11 weeks, and thank you ladies so much for the kind words and reassurances. you ladies are awesome.
