smoking in pregnancy

[fallala]

An acquaintence(close friend of a friend) is six months pregnant, and has not managed to stop smoking ( about ten a day I think)
I don't smoke (used to smoke the odd one or two but stopped when I realised I was starting to enjoy it).

I appreciate it must be hard to give up but can it really be THAT hard? I struggle to be positive about this person at the best of times. Actually I think she is a silly little so and so. Am I being a bit harsh to think shre is being stupid and selfish? Not that I am perfect but I would never have done anythign to harm my babies in the womb.

i am currently 9 1/2 weeks preg and desperately trying to give up smoking. I only smoke in "Puffs" now, not whole cigarettes and have cut down to what equates to just under 2 a day, from 15-20 a day! I am very impressed that i have cut down so well, as was my midwife. I WILL give up totally, but am doing gradually.My aim to be totally smoke free by 12 weeks. I would not see the benefit of stresssing myself out totally with going cold turkey. I think every fag you don't smoke is of benefit to your child and as long as u truly DO have the intention of quitting, you will. Keep going ladies, we'll do it together!
