I think you did the right thing. Smoking isn't good for pregnant women as it might affect the baby's development.

Before i got pregnant i smoked a pack a day. i couldn't get into my car without lighting up and inbetween loading flights ( i load planes for delta) i would smoke. I found out I was pregnant at 10 pm on Jan 8th. and the next day I had already cut down to 5 a day. Next i set a realistic goal for myself...something that wasn't too hard or stressful and i NEVER bought another pack of smokes. i just bummed off of people. i quit the day before i was officially 12 weeks pregnant. Since then i have slipped up twice and then thought to myself WTF!! I have officially decided i DO NOT want to smoke after my son is born. it;s hard but i CAN be done. just don't be selfish about it! just remember it's not fair to your child since he/she can't make the choice to smoke!
