Pregnancy Info HOME

I quit 3 weeks after I found out I was pregnant. Many women I know smoked while they were pregnant so I thought...maybe I can too but guilt was driving me nuts. Then I looked up the possible side effects of smoking on your unborn baby and I trembled with fear. Afriend of mine has a 9 month old they think is blind but dont know ( I think she is 100% blind ). I got scared thinking could I really handle a baby with a life long birth defect...and it would've been my fault because I couldn't put down a smoke for a measly 9 months out of my entire existence! How selfish ! So after another pack or 2 and people giving me looks I finally broke the last 8 I had before I went to bed! I did cheat on new years eve though. I had about 5 but none since then. It's not so bad after a week. I got my breath back! It's great...good luck. Read up on the dangers so you feel real guilty like I did. Thats what really helped me.
