Pregnancy and Smoking (Pregnancy Health Guru)

My mum smoked with me, and I had asthma as a child and have had eczema all my life. Both are related to smoking when pregnant, and even though it would be wrong to just say that she caused those things, I still feel like if anyone is responsible it’s her =

My mother in law smoked thru alll her pregnancies sadly my bf is the only non-idiot and she smokes arnd me constantly:/ its disgusting!

i am 3 months pregnant with my first child i do smoke cigarettes and black and milds but i stopped wen i found out i was pregnant .im not dumb and im not gonna smoke during my pregnancy but, wat about weed or blacks? is it da same as cigerettes wit da same chemicals or is it da same cuz jus da smoke in general?? jus a question !

PLEASE no one else will help. my fiancee trys but it doesnt work. so please help me..

@jesusonXTC lol yeah

I quit smoking when I was pregnant. My 3 yr old is healthy, thank god. If you smoked & your kid got ill somehow, how could you not feel guilty? If something happened where my child gets ill, at least I can sleep at night knowing it was from nothing I did when I was pregnant. Don’t be so selfish!!! Quit smoking if you are pregnant!

my doctors told me that if i dont quit i need to at least cut down…i was at a pack a day now im down to at least 3 cigs…they said this cause the stress that causes you to smoke can harm the baby more than smoking itself…not only could it cause harm to your baby but also to yourself…my mom smoked while she was pregnant with me and im perfectly fine…yea yea i smoke but not cause of my mom…it was my choice one night and decided to take it

My aunt smoked up to the day she went into labor with her baby. My cousin IS fine, and healthy, and all she has (luckily) are minor breathing problems. My aunt still smokes about a pack a day, and so does her boyfriend, my cousin’s dad. Basically my cousin has been exposed to these horrible toxins since 1996, up to this date. It’s a pity, really.

why don’t you ask yourself what viable ALTERNATIVE stress relievers other than smoking are available to pregnant smokers… SOCIAL SUPPORT… ATTENTION and proper PARTNERSHIP collectively have a positive impact on the mother and the fetus’s health… smoking on the other hand increases the odds of a low birth weight… CO poisoning, asthma, mental disorders and debilitating malformations.. a parent owes a promising life to his/her offspring..it is better to quit.. ask a smoker..

Also, try searching what stress does to your body. When it comes to increased heart rates, blood pressure, anything that magically seems to be a cause from smoking, you will be surprised with how very similar the affects of stress resemble the affects of smoking. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying it’s okay to smoke while pregnant, i’m simply just stating that all of the things that people are saying out there about it, just seem to be a little fishy.

over something through out your pregnancy. And every single pregnant women stresses, if you say you don’t, you’re lying. And like I said previously, there is no absolute evidence that smoking is the cause of problems in pregnancies, it’s an assumption. It’s the stress ladies, the fear of something going wrong, or the fear of less income, or the fear of being a mother, or the fear of not being accepted as a mother. STRESS!

That it is JUST smoking that causes these problems. I have personally whitness a heavy smoker continue to smoke during her three pregnancies, and nothing wrong occured with her pregnancies. The doctor she was seeing had told her that since she is such a heavy smoker, that instantly quitting cold turkey would actually harm the baby more than if she were to continue due to stress related problems. In my opinion, it’s stress that causes defects, because no matter what you do, you’re stressing

the percentage of smokers, doctors and scientists tend to relate any problems with smoking to unknown reasons of birth defects. The problem they encounter is that women who don’t smoke still have the same problems as most women who do, it just seems to be more common with pregnant smokers, so they assume that’s the cause. But what about outdooor pollution, eating junk food, drinking, etc? Doctors and scientists seem to have forgotten that a lot of pregnant women do that too! So it’s hard to…

Now this is where the controversy comes from.
Scientists assume that smoking while pregnant is bad, which yes it is; however they can’t pin point whether or not it’s smoking that causes respiratory problems or genetics. Unfortunately it is extremely difficult to say completely 100% that smoking will hurt the child permanently, because there isn’t any absoulte evidence to prove it. For years there have been SIDS, asthma, still birth, etc. And no body could explain it, so with the increase in..

My sister smokes constantly, drinks beer all the time, and smokes pot every day while she is pregnant. She is the most selfish, idiotic person I know. She makes me sick. She will not listen to anyone. I feel like disowning her and I wish I could have her arrested for it so they could save the baby.

too bad smoking during pregnancy is so darn arousing, right?

shut up everyone. your all on my nerves and if you want some on to stop commenting you then leave it be and they wont reply to it!

Smokeing is yummmy

I worked in a daycare and a pregnant mom would always smoke before picking up her daughter. she didn’t care!! We caught her in her car a few times smoking.

FlowingGeisha omg your giving me a headache, yes smoking and drinking are both bad, and you do not want to do them while you are pregnant. I never said that drinking or smoking are healthy stop putting words in my mouth. And your right about even in the ealry stages it isnt healthy thats why as soon as you find out your pregnant you need to stop, like I did.

So drinking alcohol is great and healthy for a baby. Smoking is great and healthy for a baby when it goes through the umbilical cord. Even the early stages of pregnancy can’t be healthy. What are the health risks?

Ms FlowingGeisha do you not know how to read well I suggest your try again.” Im pregnant with my 3 child and I smoked until i found out, having a little life in you should be enough reason to stop. ” this was only part of the comment i made, I STOPED ONCE I FOUND OUT!! can you read that and your the stupid one for not being able to, dont leave me nasty comments again.

Since when is smoking good for pregnancy? You’re so stupid. Unless you want a weird looking and unhealthy baby.
