Vaping & Pregnancy

Jaci

I recently found out I was pregnant (approx 7 weeks today) and my husband and I are so excited!

I used to smoke cigarettes for 15+ years and switched to vaping in the last 6 mos-1 year. Obviously I need to quit vaping ASAP. I am reading about birth defects, poor lung development and higher risk of SIDS caused by vaping. I am terrified I am or already have caused irreparable damage to this growing baby inside me.

I am meeting with my dr on Monday and quitting will be top of the list of things to discuss. Nicotine is a terribly addicting drug and I'm so scared I'm not going to be able to quit. Anyone out there have any advice, encouragement or suggestions?? Have I already caused harm to my baby??? Can I quit and still have a perfectly healthy baby or is it too late?

**Mainly asking for advice from prior smokers over non-smokers***
