Is it ok to smoke while pregnancy?

Question

My friend, who is also pregnant, smokes sometimes and says it's not a big deal if it's 'just a little'. I used to smoke a bit before, and now I'm pregnant. Is it actually okay to smoke at all during pregnancy? I'm worried.

Hey, I totally get it that quitting smoking can be super tough, especially with all the stress of pregnancy. But honestly, it's really not okay to smoke during pregnancy. It can be quite harmful for the baby's development. Maybe you can talk to your doctor about ways to manage the cravings or stress?

During my wife's pregnancies, she had some habits she really struggled to give up. We just focused on doing what felt safest for the baby, even if it was hard for her. We heard a lot of things from elders about avoiding certain stuff, so we tried to stick to that.

Meri ek friend ne bhi bohot struggle kiya tha quitting ke liye. She tried chewing gum, small healthy snacks, aur even just deep breathing when a craving hit. It wasn't easy at all, but she felt much better knowing she was doing her best for the baby. Maybe try some distractions or healthy alternatives?

Honestly, pregnancy is already so complicated, na. My wife had some issues with her first pregnancy, and after that, we became super cautious about everything. If you're smoking, please, please talk to your gynaecologist about it. They can guide you properly, it's really important for the baby's health.

Yo, my older cousin was smoking before she got pregnant and literally stopped like, immediately. She said it was super hard but like, no way she'd risk anything for the baby. So, pretty sure it's a no-go, dude. Better be safe than sorry, ya know?
