Thank you Jamie I have no qualms about admitting that I smoked while PG, people have looked at me funny because of it & questioned it but once they realize that there is so many worse things I could have done they realize hey one cigarette at a stressful time is NOT that bad. & my girl friends know that when I ask for one I must be P.O.'ed etc. I will admit that there are times when I've tried to fight the urge & I've succeeded, but then there are the times like this passed weekend where it was just TOO much & going to the ER & being put in a darkroom told to lay on my left side & calm down for $396 again was just NOT worth it . Yeah I have insurance, but apparently it doesn't cover panic attacks.
I have heard of doctor's recommending the same advice that was recommended by your friend's doctor. The key is mainly cutting down, if you can do that you're fine!
Another thing to think about is waaay back in the day people drank voraciously & our grand parents are fine. & some of the things a lot of people were exposed to weren't exactly healthy. I.E. the lead paints of the past. I could go on, but I won't. LOL...
You're welcome for the tips, they do come in quite handy at times & have even worked for a few friends of mine that wanted to quit as it is.
I will keep you updated on Little Miss
