Peteg, you're a nut!!!! lol
Breakingfree - welcome to SSC and congratulations on your pregnancy! Before you get all worked up, let me tell you that my mother-in-law tells the funniest story about drinking, smoking and dancing on tabletops when she was pregnant with my husband - and he was just fine. Now, I will say, the risks are there. But, especially in early pregnancy, don't beat yourself up too much.
Because I was a total addict, stressed and not expecting another pregnancy (you'd think I would have figured out how I got that way!), I smoked a few times with my 3rd child. I've also heard of doctors weaning new mom's off because of the stress of quitting. Please, please talk with your doctor about it. Make an appointment now, don't wait until your next scheduled. Tell them you need to speak about quitting and you want to hear that peanut's heart beating to give yourself peace of mind. If they can't help you, you need to work to find another doctor.
Please keep doing your best. You will face many struggles as a parent, but none so great as those that require a personal sacrifice or trip into what I like to call "uncomfortable land". But you can do this. Have confidence in your abilities and know that you, and your baby are worth the hardship.
Wishing you well and rooting for you,
Anige
