Anyone smoke?

Question

does anyone still smoke? and how much a day? im 30+2 and smoke about a pack a day still.. afraid to slow down as thats what baby is use too

Answer

Nope. Stop. Better to give baby a few weeks smoke free then none at all...

Answer

You're doing great! Slow down at your own pace. As long as you're making progress, it's progress! 
Baby will be healthier with each step down your road to being smoke free.
It's better for baby the quicker you stop. Weaning them down from it prolongs and exaggerates the long-term damages baby gets from receiving nicotine on a regular basis.
You're doing a great job! Keep it up! Quitting is HARD! And so is being pregnant. The effort you put in today will benefit you and your child greatly tomorrow!

love all the helpful comments you got for this. I am 30+2, I have smoked my whole pregnancy. I smoked with my first 2 and the came out perfect. I quit smoking with me 3rd and had pre eclamsia, she had to come 3 weeks early. now I am having baby number 4, he is doing amazing, growing just fine, weighting pretty big actually. i do not have gd, right now my blood pressure is doing ok. but I went from a pack a day to a pack lasting me just about 4 days. I have cut back a lot.

Answer

I’m 31W 5D and unfortunately I still smoke. I was smoking over a pack a day now under a pack a day but really struggling to stop completely.

Answer

Baby is not used to it believe me.
I have smoked on and off throughout this pregnancy, going 3 days to a week between each smoke and on those smoking days I smoke about 2-3 cigarettes. 
The guilt I feel makes me cry, I was a pack a day smoker before finding out, I have come off my anti depressants and it’s the only thing that’s kept me relatively sane.
I hate myself for it. I’m ashamed. Just reading how many babies can die up to 40 weeks and even then after in the first 5 years of their life makes me depressed.
The more I get depressed the more I smoke, it’s a vicious circle and I wish I had kicked the habit before ever conceiving but I didn’t. 
33 weeks with baby number 3.

Answer

My mom smoked with 5 of her children. The only one she did not smoke with was premature, she had placenta previa and preeclamsia. I quit around 20 weeks, and have been vaping ever since, as that was the choice I saw best for me. I appologize for all the judgey parents who are probable doing at least 1 thing wrong, or will during parenting, but say it isnt as bad as smoking to feel better.

Answer

I quit as soon as I found out I was pregnant which was 7 weeks in with my second and 3 months in with my first. I wish I would have never started back up after my first. This pregnancy was really hard to quit though. I had no issues with the smell or anything like I did with my first.. the smell would make me sick to my stomach.

Answer

I hit my husband’s cigarette here and there with my first but never a whole cigarette. This time I was vaping, I prefer vaping and was able to quit smoking a few years ago, I struggled so hard to quit vaping! I was trying to quit before I got pregnant, I think I was about 25 weeks when I was finally able to stop for good! I still hit my husband’s vape once in a while maybe once to 3 times in a day but I rarely do now since I stopped and the taste of his flavored liquid grosses me out now that I’m not used to it anymore lol

Answer

Your baby is not used to it !! It’s receiving much less oxygen than it should be!

Answer

I smoke, more than I wish too. I’m 32 weeks and 2 days, my baby is growing at the normal rate and having no complications what so ever so far. I’m measuring correctly and my blood pressure is always perfect at every appointment. I want to cut back more as well, and have managed to go from a pack and a half a day (before pregnancy) down to half a pack a day (currently) 
some days when my hormones get the best of me I smoke a little more than half (I always feel horrible for doing so, but never realize until I sit back and think about it)
But my little boy is healthy 💙 he is growing amazingly and is right on track. I will be getting myself down to less than half before he gets here. 
And for those of you who disagree with smoking while pregnant, I’m not commenting for you. I don’t need your negativity or bashing; don’t comment on my comment if that’s what you plan to do. I am well aware of what you have to say already. 
7 more weeks 😍😍💙
