Is my baby okay ?

Question

I’ve been smoking cigarettes and I’m 5 weeks of I quit now will my baby be okay and have I already caused damage?

Answer

Good for you for wanting to make good choices for your baby. Quitting is very hard. Your baby is fine. The big thing is lung development which happens later on and the risk of low birth weight (also later on). But just wanted to say I’m proud of you, awesome job mama!!!!!!

Answer

Your baby will be fine. Do not stress. There's so much we stress about during pregnancy, I think you do not need the extra add on.
Also some doctors will advise not to quit altogether but to do it gradually. 
Congratulations.

Answer

I'm exactly the same 5 weeks today and I am cutting down gradually. Im also using a vape between cigarettes to curb cravings. It's so so hard isn't it but I want to be smoke-free as soon as possible to give our baby the best chance. Please don't beat yourself up, I know it's so easy to (I'm in the same boat) like someone has said we are looking to make the change and that's a big big step. Some people don't bother stopping (I know 2 people who didnt) and they did go on to have healthy babies. I personally just don't want to risk it long term. Congratulations on your little bean and well done for taking next step to give your baby bean the best start 💕 we can do this 👏👏👏💪

Answer

Sadly some don’t stop and still are lucky to have healthy babies. It is great you’ve stopped now though especially as they develop so much in the next couple of months!
