How smoking affects your baby when you're pregnant - an expert view from a midwife 

Hard to prove in an individual case but on the incidence in a population of smoked babies is clear. I had terrible earaches and nervousness, likely due to a smoking mother! Who could not quit, and whose mother encouraged her to smoke in order to be slimmer and more able to marry! Just like the nephew of siggy Freud, Edward Bernays who made millions in propagandizing the popularity of women smoking (Torches of Freedom or some such bullshit). In times when it is so important to think and do for yourself, the mass media seems to have control of information, beliefs and actions of the masses of complete asses. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

So your 9 years old

Yep also she did lol

Its not the same, when you smoke you're literally harming your child. Having an abortion (which is not allowed at any moment and illegal even in some us states and some countries) is completely different because you are removing a few cells from your womb.

Wrong, it is a life. Play all the mental gymnastics you want lol.

if an abortion is in the early stage when heart hasn't beating yet then I don't see any problem.

How much did you smoke a day if you don’t mind me asking, I only ask because I’m 5 months and still having trouble quitting but also worried for my baby

Nicole and Josephine...I am also having trouble...how can we encourage and help each other slow down and possibly quit all together. I feel I have no support. Also, my husband smokes which is making it more difficult. Worry about my baby too...feel guilty at night and ashamed. I quit in 10 days after I found out I was pregnant 15 years ago and I had a premature baby who almost didn't make it. What is wrong with me this time..I feel I know better. I had support last time. A friend always reminded me it wasn't good for the baby, and it wouldn't be that long and I could smoke again if I wanted too. I am trying to feel that way again, but failing. Hope we can quit for good. I want to smell good for myself and my baby...that's about all the motivation I have right now..lol. Drinking water with lemon is helping a little and it is supposed to help detox the nicotine. Trying to find a new and healthier addiction to help me out. Hahaha. Let me know what you ladies think or how I might be able to help you. Perhaps that will help me. 💗

I too smoked the whole time I was pregnant with my daughter. She was perfectly healthy. I think it's a myth as well.
