Can withdrawals from smoking harm a baby?I quit smoking as soon as I found out I was pregnant but I wonder if the withdrawals I'm experiencing can harm the baby. I have gone from 25 smokes a day to 2-3. The reason for the 2-3 is because when the withdrawals get severe I feel like that must be worse for the baby then having a puff or two off of a smoke. What do you think? I really want to cut it out completely but it's so damned hard!

Withdrawals will not hurt your baby. I quit cold turkey and never smoked another cigarette again as soon as I found out I was pregnant and my baby is just fine. Withdrawals, having a cold or flu, morning sickness, etc... will not harm your baby. Just quit smoking any at all for the baby.
I know, I know!!!!
withdrawals will not harm the baby

Once you cut down to none a day, the physical dependency is out of your system in 2 days. After that, it is all psychological. Do right by your baby and stop smoking all together now.
I speak from experience.

A co-worker of mine was a smoker and when she was pregnant her doctor told her not to quit but to cut down as much down as possible because it would be hard on the baby.

Good for you for your decision to quit. You CAN do this!!! Each time you drag on your cig, you decrease the oxygen that goes to your baby.
It's not going to harm your baby with withdrawl. For every cig you don't smoke, give yourself a high five because you're one less and your baby will be healthier for it.
Make sure you don't cave and just go back to it. It can cause alot of problems through out your pregnancy. One thing it causes is placenta coming off the uterus and death of the fetus.
Honestly, you'll hear women say they smoked the whole time and their babys were fine, but the risks go up by so much with each cig, why take a chance.
Good for you!!!!!!
