You should quit smoking anyway. It's
terrible for you. The sooner the better.

Yes. Smoking is terrible for pregnancy.
It's terrible period. You should stop
smoking even if you're not pregnant.
Smoking takes a toll on your entire body,
and the longer you put off quitting, the
more damage you're causing yourself.
Don't wait until you become pregnant to
stop.

Smoking is bad for you and a terrible
habit even if you're not pregnant. The way
i see it is the baby didn't ask or want to
smoke so why inflict your smoke on them
and cause possible life long problems
It is awful to smoke when you are
pregnant. There are so many risks for the
baby. My cousin smoked throughout her
pregnancy and her little girl is now 14
months old and she weighs the same as my
niece who is six months old, so needless
to say she is underweight. Not to mention
it has seemed like she has had a cold
since the day she was born because she
always is congested with a runny nose.
It's pitiful, that poor baby didn't ask
for that.
Also, you have to think of the with
drawls. When you quit you will go through
them, so imagine when your baby is born,
he/she will have to go through it too.
Which could mean that you may have a very
agitated baby.
Personally I think that it is very selfish
to smoke when you are pregnant and also in
the presence of babies and children. So
hopefully you do the right thing and quit.
Good luck!!!!! It will be hard but
definitely worth it. You couldn't have a
better reason then know to quit!!!
