Avatar n tn Before I was pregnant I vaped instead of smoking, with nicotine. I was wondering if it was okay to vape with no nicotine while pregnant?
Avatar f tn Lower the amount of oxygen and nutrient available your growing baby. Increase your baby's heart rate. Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth. Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weight. Increase your baby's risk of developing respiratory (lung) problems. The more cigarettes you smoke per day, the greater your baby's chances of developing these and other health problems.

Second hand smoke has been shown to be just as harmful.
Avatar f tn Im 5 weeks pregnant now.. & I'm having a hard time quiting smoking cigarettes. What's every ones opinion on smoking while pregnant? Smoking 1-2 cigarettes per day!!
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm just curious in people's opinions of something. I am an ex smoker. No longer have the habit. My child's daycare have been taught that smoking kills people etc.. so move away from people if they're smoking. A lot of parents from the daycare have come in abusing the child care Centre as they're smokers and there young children keep telling them they're going to die.
Avatar f tn You must already know the right answer. No smoking at all, not even a couple a day. And you should'nt be around other people that are smoking.
Avatar n tn Hi, i am a 36 year old woman and i am 20 weeks pregnant; i smoke up to 2 hashish spliffs a day, i'd like to know what the risks there are for my baby of me smoking while pregnant.
Avatar n tn I smoked for about 2 years and when I found out I was pregnant, I finished my pack of cigarettes and haven't picked one up since. But with morning sickness and a heightened sense of smell I found it hard to even make myself smoke. I quit for a few months before I got pregnant. I picked up another habit, running. I would run 2-3miles a day or every other day after work and when I was finished I just didn't want to smoke.
Avatar f tn s what I thought, plus the affects of smoking while pregnant seem to be way worse than the withdrawals to me..
Avatar f tn reading that rude young ladies posts she has made herself she sounds like the one who needs help. I know quitting is hard, I was smoking for a few weeks after finding out I was pregnant because I was so stressed and couldn't eat (I was smoking pot) and I just felt terrible knowing I have a life inside of me so I quit cold turkey. it's easier when u have people supporting u and gave things to distract u. good luck mommy!
Avatar f tn I've been smoking cigarettes for about a year now. And now that i'm pregnant I really want to stop, & COLD TURKEY isn't working. Im 9 weeks & 3 days! Any suggestions or help? Cant afford the quitting methods.
Avatar n tn My doctor even said the amount of exhaust coming out the back of vehicles, breathing that in is equivalent to smoking a couple cigarettes. He's not worried about it? I'm not either. I was in the beginning, but he reassured me everything's fine. Don't stress out too much! If you quit cold turkey, can result in a miscarriage or even premature labor! You'll be fine.
Avatar f tn Smoking while pregnant I'd bad whether you like it or not
Avatar f tn Just want to say.... We are not bad mothers and smoking while pregnant does not mean we don't cherish our baby. Don't let people make you feel like you don't care enough. Especially people who don't smoke have no idea how hard it is.
Avatar f tn I smoke cigarettes but recently found out I was pregnant. I have seen many smoking those vapor cigs and you can buy them with no nicotine in it. I was wnting your opinions if that would be dangerous or not. Or if you know people that smoke these while pregnant.
