33 weeks pregnant and just quit smoking cold turkey, any risks to my baby?


33 weeks pregnant and just quit smoking cold turkey, any risks to my baby?I know i should have quit earlier in my pregnancy but due to personal reasons i couldnt. I got the flu and a chest infection early last week and literally could not smoke for a whole day, so after i made it the day without a cigareette i decided to quit, so i have quit it has been 4 days without even a puff. As proud of myself as i am, i am just wondering if this is gonna have negative effects on the baby. i lost a bit of weight from being sick and her movement has slowed a ittle but not much and she was a very active baby so she is still very active. Not any real differences. Just wondering if i did the right thing by quitting

Thanks

It was/is one of the best decisions you could ever possibly make :)

your baby will be ok if you dont smoke anymore .....

the reason some people say to not stop smoking that far along, is because it can cause YOU stress. which isnt good.. that can cause preterm labor, and it can stress the baby out.. but if you are coping well, then all is well

congrats! thats awesome !!

Congratulations! You just significantly decreased risks for your baby. You didn't add any new ones. Don't worry, baby will be fine. You did her a huge favor.

Congrats on the quit. I smoked for 10 years and I finally quit 6.5 years ago. Anyway, I would contact your OB and make sure that everything is okay.

Good job! Now your newborn won't have the effects of breathing in secondhand smoke! You'll also be setting a good example of not smoking for your little one!
