Common Questions and Answers about Effects of smoking to pregnancy

smoking

Avatar f tn And pregnant women have been smoking THIS for decades, to alleviate the ailments related to pregnancy. In my opinion and experience, if you need to, do it, as long as you're not a chain smoking chimney lol.
Avatar f tn I have a close friend who has been addicted to marijuana for a long time, she also smoked during her pregnancy and no they did not test her for it when she gave birth. I don't know much on the effects of marijuana use during pregnancy but I strongly suggest that you look into that for the benefit of the baby. I know that she breastfed for quite a while, continuing to pass the drug onto her child. Our sons are the same age and have been friends since infancy.
Avatar f tn Since I had the miscarriage last week I picked up the smoking again after going a whole 2 days without it waiting for my results of the pregnancy. Now I am going to start trying again and I have to quit. I have tried everything nicotine patch, chantix, and I also have one of the smoke away electronic cigarettes, but nothing seems to help me get away. I too am having a hard time getting away from it even though I know the side effects to a baby and everyone else around me. It's really hard.
Avatar f tn If you are pregnant it is good that you stopped smoking weed. Not only is the action of smoking itself is detrimental to the health of the baby, but we do not know how cannabis intake can affect the developing brain. If you were using it for nausea, you may have hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition that causes excessive nausea and vomiting during early stages of pregnancy.
Avatar f tn After nearly two years of trying for a baby I was overwhelmed! I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away! There are times when I would like a cigarette but I care for my unborn baby a million times more than a dirty fag!
Avatar f tn Some women smoke through their entire pregnancy and end up with healthy babies. Kudos to you for quitting cold turkey! I know that must have been hard. I really wouldn't worry to to much about it. Write it down to ask your doctor at your first appointment. Since you stopped so fast I'm sure you will be just fine :) Congrats!
1820473 tn?1344980763 i had urge of smoking as hubby was a smoker..but i used to make myself bz.. I downloaded all seasons of how i met ur mother n watched..haha n it helped diverting my attention from my esse menthol cravings lol..
Avatar f tn Google how smoking effects your baby. One was it increases the risk of sids (sudden infant death syndrome). That alone should be enough for someone to quit but a lot of moms turn a blind eye to the negative side effects. Best of luck quitting! !!
Avatar f tn Studies have shown that consistent smoking and drinking throughout your pregnancy will cause problems but doing so in very early pregnancy has not reported any long-term ill effects. The placenta doesn't form until week 8 or more so it is doubtful much has even passed to the baby at this point. Good for you for quitting; keep at it and get healthy for your little bean.
Avatar f tn From what i got they're not too sure on the effects that smoking weed have on the fetus during pregnancy because not too many women are willing to disclose that they've smoked weed during their pregnancies. But different studies concluded different things. My brothers babys mother smoked weed during both of her pregnancies and both my niece and nephew have slight speech problem his other babys mother didn't smoke during her pregnancies and both of her kids are developing just fine.
Avatar f tn Ive been smoking for over 15 years...this is my 1st pregnancy, and honestly, just the thought of my baby not being able to get enough oxygen or blood flow from me is enough to have me quit. I quit cold turkey. This child should not suffer because of my selfish digusting habit. Thats what worked for me. Good luck to ya!
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 I've never been a pot smoker, but I do like my whiskey and wine. And I quit drinking and partying for the health of this pregnancy. My decision to drink, or not to drink, is one of many choices I'm going to have to make as a mother. It's not all about me anymore. As for whether pot specifically is good or bad, I tend to think the question deserves more research. On a purely anecdotal level, I know quite a few people who smoked pot while pregnant.
Avatar f tn Spice is just as bad as smoking crack in the same room as the child. Its a serious problem and someone needs to do something about it.
1536705 tn?1324329047 Im nearly 18 weeks and my friend is going 25 weeks, Im just a little concerned because although I love her to bits, she does smoke alot of weed daily and I dont really know the effects it will have on her unborn baby. Im sure shes aware its not healthy, but Im curious what the effects will be so that if/when I tell her of my concerns I can make her of the damage shes doing. Does anyone know much about this?
Avatar m tn Wow! Sounds like my husband can relate to you. I have SFN also and smoke a bit. I didn't even know smoking made matters worse but I just assumed it couldn't be helping. Perhaps the smoking is just comforting her and calming her down. I don't imagine it could the nicotine and toxic chemicals could actually be making her condition better but as I stated I would bet it calms her down.
Avatar f tn I want to say good for you to ALL of the ladies trying to cut down/quit, my mom kept her mouth busy with gum, candies, etc. and that's how she quit. My husband chews (not the same thing, but addictive) and he quit by keeping his mouth busy with sunflower seeds! I want to add also, just because your baby is a healthy weight at birth when you deliver, doesn't mean they'll be healthy later on.
Avatar f tn I was a smoker and stopped straight away i dont even crave anymore and i do feel a lot better for it although ive got to admit i have to watch what i eat as at first i think i ate to give me something to do lol. I googled what effects smoking has on a baby and that was enough to put me off straight away. Im not saying its not going to be hard especially if you have smokers around you but id also ask them to refrain from smoking anywhere near you.
Avatar f tn The smoking is probably not going to affect you getting pregnant. But if you are trying to get pregnant then you need to stop smoking because it is horrible for a baby. You also didn't mention if you are using protection or not and that would have more to do if you get pregnant or not then smoking.
7933716 tn?1396130374 I googled the effects of smoking while pregnant and I still try not to im 22 weeks pregnant and my babys healthy but I just dknt want no complications when shesborn like asthma cus all that still runs through my head and I know moms who took pills and smoked weed and dranalcohol ans there baby still healthy and strong
Avatar f tn That is a fact, its not like that happens to only some babies, its every baby every pregnancy with anyone who smokes. So that is what made my mother strong enough to quit smoking with 3 pregnancies, she stopped a couple months before she fell pregnant because they were TTC. It's what COULD happen that matters, not what didn't happen to a friends pregnancy and baby. Stay strong all you mommies who are quitting!
Avatar n tn Size of a penis no. length of a vagina not likely. You should make an appointment with your gynocolgist. They can help you determine methods to help you get pregnant and what measures you should take. Depending if you've taken certain birth control metods it could take a little longer to pregnant. Healthy diet and lifestyle can help. Stress definately effects getting pregnant. There are studies that show increase stress equals decreased ability to conceive.
20922415 tn?1661860103 Estrogen is the hormone that stimulates the growth of the uterine lining (endometrium), causing it to thicken during the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle. One of progesterone's most important functions is to cause the endometrium to secrete special proteins during the second half of the menstrual cycle, preparing it to receive and nourish an implanted fertilized egg. If implantation does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, the endometrium breaks down and menstruation occurs.
