Smoking during pregnancy?

I have heard that quitting smoking during pregnancy can cause stress on the baby and increase the chances of miscarriage. So would it be better to quit or continue to smoke in moderation?? I smoke less than 4 cigarettes a day…is that harmful?

Its better to quit for sure. Even the small amount that you are smoking constricts the blood vessels to your baby. Which cuts off the oxygen to your baby. This causes soooo many problems including cleft palate, asthma, low birth weight etc. It is really hard to quit, but quitting from 4 cigarettes is a lot less stressful than a pack a day habit. I would give it a try. If you are past your 8week mark, i would go cold turkey, if not taper off by one a day. Good luck to you!!
