I have been told many things about smoking during pregnancy. I am currently nine weeks pregnant and I'm having a problem with just quitting smoking. I've been told that since I've smoked for almost ten years that if I just up and quit I run a high risk of loosing my baby. I've been told to cut back and I've got to where I only smoke about 5 to 8 a day and before I got pregnant I smoked a pack a day.

I smoked right before I was pregnant and like the first week or 2 while I got pregnant until I found out I was pregnant and then stopped. I don't think it will do anything bad if u had smoked but don't do it anymore until your done breastfeeding.
