Smoking and depression during pregnancy

My Mother didn't smoke with me, but she did with the rest of my family, and don't worry, you smoke less than half of what she did... She smoked usually about a pack to a pack and a half a day with the rest of my siblings. She was always ALWAYS under stress, and never had an easy moment. The baby's going to be fine. I talked to several people when my husband and i started trying for a baby a while back about smoking while pregnant, and i came to this conclusion with lots of research... Yes, it can effect the birth weight, BUT, it seems to lower the chance of Asthma in babies and as they are growing, and i came to this conclusion from only people who smoked with some kids than others. Now also, if you decide to quit smoking WHILE pregnant, you can cause a serious problem for the child, because they have withdrawals a whole lot worse than you would, which would put strain and stress on the child in it's most important developing stages. Don't worry so much, try and ease yourself into a little better relaxation when you can and it'll be okay. don't worry so much hun, let it be.. It's going to be okay, and if there is a problem, deal with it when it comes rather than putting more stress on yourself and that little baby.

Don't worry, the important thing is that you quit NOW. You didn't know you were pregnant, so you can't be held accountable for smoking during your pregnancy. Don't feel guilty because you didn't know. At least now you have stopped and are taking better care of your body. Congrats on your pregnancy!

its good that you stopped smoking, you should catch up on all the vitamin supplements that you should take. My advice, have vitamin c 1000mg daily, this will help lessen the nicotine absorbed by your baby. And just pray that the baby turns out fine. God Bless.
