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 Why risk something that has been scientifically proven to affect an unborn fetus? Science was a whole lot different for our parent's generation, scientist know so much more about the dangers of smoking than before. I just couldn't see myself taking chances like that knowing as many negative stories about it.

667829 tn?1297978123 While vitamins and minerals are important to a pregnant woman and her developing fetus, Dr. Lund questions the use of commercial dietary supplements, herbal remedies, or high doses of vitamins and minerals. "The simple answer is that we don't know if these are perfectly safe or not, because they are not regulated. It's very difficult for me to tell you with any certainty that they're safe. For instance, mega-doses of vitamin A have been associated with birth defects.
Avatar m tn s Association, said this study offers more evidence of the dangers of secondhand smoke and the risk for dementia. Smoking is already recognized as a risk factor for Alzheimer's, and the risk can be extended to exposure to secondhand smoke, she said. "There are findings that secondhand smoke can be just as detrimental as smoking itself," Carrillo said. "We recommend that people do not smoke and try to reduce their exposure to secondhand smoke as well." Dr.
Avatar f tn But if you stop the medication as the doctor said it could be a virus outbreak and the risk of severe hepatitis flare dangers to life mother and fetus during pregnancy. How do I decide? Actually we want to have more babies.
Avatar f tn This may be a good opportunity to start educating your 2 year old on the dangers of cigarette smoking. Teach him not to ever pick them up, especially when he’s older and others around him may be smoking.
Avatar n tn you have to be proud of yourself for not smoking! and all will change for you! just don't beat yourself up for it and don't feel guilty. you really have to want to be smoke free, and feel freedom without them, you have to stop feeling scared when you know that you can't smoke, and really you have to feel proud, and it will be easier for you not to smoke ever again. You know that smoking is bad for you, and is bad for your LO....so just get rid of it!
Avatar f tn Hi ladies I have a question, me and my hubby used to smoke hookah alot but ever since I found I was pregnant I obviously stopped, I am 34wks pregnant and my hubby recently started Smoking hookah again but the VAPORIZOR one, the one that you smoke out the pen.
Avatar f tn I have had multiple friends who have smoked in their pregnancies and their babies are wonderful, smart, and healthy. Asked my doc for one of them who was scared to confess he said he had never seen a study ever in his carrier that has said it harms the fetus. That being said I wouldn't chance it because I'm a scardy cat. Also some states in the US drug test pregnant Mommy's and take action for their findings once the baby is born. By testing the babies meconium i think.
Avatar f tn i have been reading up on detoxing and the dangers this could have on my fetus. yesterday i used a small dose of sub, i usually only need a small sliver from my 8mg strip to ward off withdrawls, and today i took about the same amount. i hope to be able to taper down to nothing by only taking the suboxone when i feel the withdrawls coming on. So what i want to know is, i guess how safe this will be for my baby. i would like to be drug and sub free in less than two weeks.
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. Second hand smoke has been shown to be just as harmful.
Avatar n tn i think you already know that its a very good chance every article i pulled up said as huge as it could do not get pregnant severe birth defects and you have to meet the iPLEDGE requirements so i'm sure you've been advised many times of the dangers of getting pregnant while taking this drug even for a short time but if you need to look it up again and talk to your doctor good luck
Avatar n tn Crohns disease is not a nice thing to have so in that respect I feel very sorry for her as those people suffer greatly with a lot of pain. The smoking is also extremely harmful to the fetus not to mention to the health of the mother. It is also extremely addictive and not easy to give up so perhaps if she wanted to really give up she could get help there are a lot of methods available today to help people give up.

Avatar n tn Hi and welcome to the forum! I'm sorry you had such terrible injuries. Sounds like you might be lucky to be alive. Why not celebrate your life by giving up those smokes completely. Smoking one or two cigs a day will just prolong your cravings forever and ever and soon you will be smoking full time again. If your intent is to quit, why not start using one of the smoking aids offered today if you feel you can't get through the cravings.
Avatar f tn Ok, recently found out I was 6w4days. I'm a normal smoker.. my doctor told me not to quit right away because the baby is already addicted to it and that I can wien myself off or cut way back. I've never heard of the fetus or anything of that sort being addicted to nicotine this early.. is my doctor a quack or is he really right?
Avatar m tn Stop smoking. U don't want ur baby to have a lot of complications if not now later in life itll hit the baby big time I see it all the time...
