    My Dr. told me not to quit. Quitting causes stress and will harm the baby. So I cut back to 5-7 a day. The result. 3 pregnancies, 3 big and healthy babies. Between 8.11 lbs and 7.9 lbs. All because I listened to my Dr.

    His advice benefited my children.

    Friends of ours, who don't smoke, have had a miscarriage, and one child with asthma.

    It's all about genetics.

    Shameful to say i smoked on all 3 of my babies......mine was born a day before,3 days before,and 5 days before.

    Im no saying its right to smoke in pregnancy,but do give up,you can have lots of help as well.

    I have give up smoking over a year now and pregnant with number 4.

    Best thing i did was give up,my youngest has asthma and my 2nd had breathing problems when she was a week old because of the smoking.

    Good luck x

    Sometimes you can have it from 34 weeks onwards....and it will be a small baby too so it maybe hard for them to breath on their own especially if you have been smoking....

    My advice is to stop smoking all together...

    If you are worrying about how early your baby is gonna be and whether it will be OK...maybe its time to cut out the middle man and stop the source of your worry!

    First off, leave the cigarettes alone. Try looking up images of babies born early due to smoking mothers. Once you see those photos, you will not want to pick up another cigarette again. You are seriously putting your child at risk. You are not taking care of the baby or your body. You will have a hard labor and that poor child will have a low birth weight. GET IT TOGETHER!!!

    You can have it up to 3 months early but I wouldn't worry about it coming early as much as i would worry about it having breathing problems, collapsed lung & all that horrible stuff. You should never smoke while your pregnant...Your no longer harming just yourself, your harming your unborn baby too:(

    It can be dangerously early.

    Is that cigarette more important than the life of your not yet born child? You need to make the choice.

    We can't tell you how soon. No one can predict that. Sorry for your tragic situation although you are choosing to put yourself and your baby in it.

    ...im no expert, but you probably shouldnt smoke while you're pregnant.

    or at all, for that matter.
