smoking
Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, including truly nasty things like cyanide, lead, and at least 60 cancer-causing compounds. When you smoke during pregnancy, that toxic brew gets into your bloodstream, your baby's only source of oxygen and nutrients.
The most serious complications — including stillbirth, premature delivery, and low birth weight — can be chalked up to the fact that nicotine and carbon monoxide work together to reduce your baby's supply of oxygen.
Idk if any of these things are solely a result of smoking weed during pregnancy but i do think that smoking weed does effect the baby. Especially during early pregnancy when the babys brain is developing. Smoking weed is no better than smoking cigarettes because when smoking both you're inhaling smoke and like my doctor tells me whatever i experience the baby experience.
you should read all the possible side effects of smoking while pregnant and what it can do to your child. Nausea is something almost all woman experience while pregnant and we just deal with it the doctor recommended ways. Try tums, eat 6 small meals instead of 3 big ones a day, try taking famotidine (pepcid) tablets. Just my opinion though. If you feel it's honestly that bad you should consult your ob and talk to them about smoking and if anything else could help that you are unaware of.
I cut right down during my first pregnancy and had maybe 1 a week just when I was unbearable to be around. My DD was born 8 lbs and everything was healthy. She has no asthma or chest problems. I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my second child. I'm now on e-cigarettes and have cut down to the lowest strength nicotine and I will weane myself off completely before I get to my second trimester.
The breathing problem is probably due to quitting smoking and even non pregnant quitters get it. Obviously being pregnant has it's effect as well as now your body need to support not just you but the baby as well, so you breathe more oxygen and release more carbon dioxide.
At every appt your health provider should monitor your BP. 110/76 to 120/76 is a good result and you only need to worry if it starts going very high.
im just wondering what are some things I should really avoid during first trimester? Also, im having a hard time quitting smoking so im wondering if there's any moms out there who also had a hard time with this? Also, is there any way you can find out the sex before the weeks period? I guess you could say im a little paranoid and I just want to make sure I can keep this baby safe, I guess im a little paranoid.
I'm always wondering if I may be pregnant. If so I would be 3 weeks now. I've researched and found a forum about smoking marijuana during the first trimester. They say it's not bad for your child. It could just be my addiction looking for excuses. Please doctor, what are the dangers I could be in if I am in fact pregnant and smoking about a join per day for the past week?
Although I personally would not do it because of the possible risks, smoking a small amount of weed during pregnancy isn't super harmful. As long as she's not smoking a ton everyday the baby will probably be fine. I was very young with NY first pregnancy, and smoked occasion aly. My child is perfectly normal and healthy. She is very smart. Still I wouldn't do it again, but there are much worse things she could be doing.
t have barely any caffeine especially
So I know this woman who is about as far along as I am (34weeks), and she smokes at least a cigarette everyday, and has been throughout her entire pregnancy. She told me it was because her doctor said that of she "quit cold turkey" that it could have negative effects on the baby because of with drawels, though she had plenty of time to quit by now. Is this true?? What do you guys think??
Your age, health, blood pressure and etc… It is important that you discuss the smoking issue with your Obgyn, so you can find the safest way of quitting. Smoking itself can be harmful to your pregnancy and there are safe ways to come off, but it should be done under your doctors supervision at this time. Best of luck!
