Hi all its been a few weeks since i have been in i am now 14 weeks pregnant and morning sickness has slowly subsided.

I would just like to say that i have been smoking heavily for15 years and have tried quitting several times. I have 2 children already with another on the way.
I smoked through both pregnancies as both in fact all 3 were surprises.
Nothing wrong with my children at all though you do feel guilty doing it.
I am still a smoker and smoking through this pregnancy.

I have cut down every time with each baby we dont smoke in the house at all. I was smoking 16 milligrams and about 28 a day i now smoke 2 milligrams and about 6 -8 a day.

It is very difficult to quit a habit that you have had for so long even when you know you are having a baby. I have spoken to my doctor several times about this and he says it will do more damage to quit during pregnancy than it would to continue.

I can understand both sides of the argument but please those people who have never had a smoke in your life i praise you for doing that but also please dont judge the people who DO smoke and have a hard time quitting because unless you have been in that situation before u just dont know.
