Is It Safe To Smoke During Pregnancy?

I am 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant I've tried to stop smoking pot since I found out I was pregnant due do issues with not having an appatite unless I smoked and having high anxiety when I didn't smoke. But I have been unsuccessful in my efforts of quitting I smoke about three or four times a day but I want to quit so that I'm not at risk of loosing my baby when I go into labor. I'm not a bad person and I love my baby and don't want any problems. So my question is what can I do so that my system and clean and clear when I go into labor?

HI,
I understand your query.
Smoking is hazardus for you & your baby both.smoking nocotin/ carbon monoxide causes less oxygen to you & your baby making more chances of getting abortions, premature deliveries low birth weights, still births, increased chances of congenital abnormalities , possibility of baby getting respiratory disease in later life.
You have already reached 35th week of pregnancy. I am afraid it's too late to prevent side effects of smoking on your baby, they must have occurred. Still, you can-
Stop smoking at least now,, & hope for least effects your baby has,
Get your delivery done in best hospital & best doctors care.
Lets hope, your baby has skipped much of the problem & be careful of his health from first day of his life. consult best pediatrician , tell himm frankly about your history, so that he can plan the best treatment for your baby.
Wish you all the best.
Thanks.
