asking for my sister honestly. she smokes a lot n just found out shes around 6 weeks. shes really scared now n wants to know if the pregnancy can go on safely. she plans to see a doctor this week.
My friend was a smoker and her gynac was very clear that stopping is important and that there is support available to help quit. Doctors usually dont judge, they just want to help you and baby stay healthy. Booking an early appointment is the best step here.
Please talk to your doctor about this as soon as possible, this is something they really need to know. Smoking in pregnancy is not safe and the sooner you get support to stop, the better for you and baby. Dont feel ashamed, just tell your gynac honestly so she can help.
I totally understand quitting is really hard and no one should make you feel bad about it. But for the baby, please reach out to your doctor for help, even small steps matter. You can do this, take it one day at a time.
Yes the pregnancy continues, but you really should work on stopping smoking with your doctors help. It affects the baby, so the earlier you start the better. Be honest with your gynac, they have proper ways to support you.
Beta the pregnancy can continue, but smoking is genuinely harmful for the baby. The good thing is quitting even now still helps a lot. Please sit with your doctor, she can guide you to cut down safely, you dont have to do it alone.
