I think it's great that you eliminated one risk during pregnacy. But back in the dark ages. My mom smoked through six uneventful pregnacies years of birth 1948 son 8lb 6oz, 1950 daughter 7lb 8oz, 1954 (me)9lb 6oz, 1956 daughter 8lb 4oz, 1958 son 8lb 8oz, and 1961 son 9lb even. SO MUCH FOR LOW BIRTH WEIGHT.. All of us grew up in a 2 smoker home went in the 2 smoker car and I am the only smoker of the sibs. We were seldom sick as childrena dnwe're healthy adults. If I ever feel that smoking is hurting my health I'll quit. But we lost direction there it really isn't about smoking it's about property rights and government control. Going with my picture to airbrush dude.

Yep, my mom smoked through her pregnancy with me and I was just fine too. I did it due to my hubby's nagging about it. He rarely nags and so I gave in. He also nagged a bit towards the end of my pregnancy with my son for me to not get the epidural... about 3 hours into labor HE was telling the nurses they better get the damn anesthesiologist up there and get me one! LOL He used guilt with my daughter to make me stop during that pregnancy.. "Well, you stopped during it with [son's name] so it wouldn't be fair to not stop this time either." He had good intentions and very rarely bugs me to do things his way so when he does I usually bend a bit for him. Wasn't that hard for me anyway. And the cigs were making the morning sickness worse. I don't fuss at anyone else who chooses to smoke during pregnancy though.
