Smoking in the first trimester is so incredibly dangerous.
The reason why miscarriages tend to occur before 12 weeks is because the baby does 90% of it's development in the first trimester. It's when the nervous system and organs are made. If you smoke, you are replacing your babies oxygen with carbon monoxide, so they are taking that in when they are forming their brain, heart, lungs, etc.
I used to have a 20 a day habit and went cold turkey so know how hard it is.
If you feel that you HAVE to smoke then at least wait until after first tri,
