1117137 tn?1345227905 is it just me or is second hand smoking SO annoying? i think my radar is just super tuned in right now, but it seems like people just light up and leave their used butts, everywhere! i understand that it is a free world, but i guess i just find it even more bothersome, now that i have another life to support inside me. i will go as far as pulling my shirt over my face as i walk by it, and i don't care who sees that or what they think.
Avatar f tn I seat down and basically told him the results for second hand smoking and how that was much worse than actually smoking. So we came to the agreement that he would just smoke outside when we come over & he want smoke around me. So just look up the facts on second hand smoking then present your facts to your family & let them know your concerns regarding your unborn child.
2006603 tn?1331329327 There are many risks with second hand smoke exposure even for ppl who are not pregnant. Second hand smoke can cause under developed lungs, increase the chance of sids, low birth weight, baby can develop asthma and a bunch of other things too. Its good your fiance doesn't smoke in the house or around you but he should get into the habbit of not smoking in the car either. The nicotine can settle into the fabrics which is the same as smoking a cigarette while being in the room with the baby.
Avatar f tn You and baby are fine unless the smell makes you physically ill.
Avatar n tn t tell they were until this lady literally exhaled the smoke almost in my face as she walked by and I definitely inhaled some second hand smoke -- it was that strong. I literally had to get off the phone and ask them were they serious. I just got a new job and will be expected to take a drug test next week. I normally wouldn't think much of that episode, but am somewhat concerned because I definitely inhaled some of the second hand smoke as they walked by.
Avatar f tn Look if you're that worried about your baby then seriously just stop going over there. Think about it if you will. You either be alone or go to your grandma's where you will inhale second hand smoke which is way worse than smoking itself. It's terrible that your gma is like that but if she is indeed like that then just stop going over there. She obviously doesn't care to stop so just stay home and try to stay occupied. Your babies health is of the utmost importance.
Avatar f tn I think it would be beneficial for both you and your husband to quit smoking. Second hand smoke is just as dangerous and you don' t need to be around it once you are pregnant. Aside from that it's not healthy for a child to be around cigarette smoke either. Talk with your physician about aids to help you quit. But, as KarenDiane said, you have to have a reason that is worth it to you. For me, I quit smoking cold turkey the day after I found out I was pregnant with my second child.
Avatar f tn I was even told by the doctor the risks of quitting were higher then cutting down due to stress so i was told to cut back as much as possible and quit later if possible. My sister was also around second hand smoke her entire pregnancy with both of her boys and they came out healthy too. Of course smoke is obviously not the best thing in the world but if you are worried about risks to your baby, you should talk to the doctor. Maybe your doctor will have some suggestions for you. hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much. I really never drank before and didn't do drugs so my only thing is my smoking. But the other problem is that if second hand smoke causes the same thing, my Child's father and I live together and he smokes a pack a day or so and doesn't plan on quitting. So as for now that is my milestone. It's hard to quit when you're around it constantly.
Avatar n tn I learned that ADHD is diagnosed in children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy. I never smoked before or even during pregnancy; however, I was exposed to the second hand smoking. Could this cause ADHD? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Even second hand smoke can be harmful. Ask them to smoke outside and not around you. Visit smoke free houses. Just the smell can make some women nauseous.
8182713 tn?1419265366 Nope you're not wrong at all! My bf smokes & he knws how much i hate it or when he comes up to me after he smokes..it's really bad for you to smell that it harms you & the baby..the baby can come out with any type of defect! i understand where your coming from & he's the father of the baby..but the baby health & your health comes first..even if you're not smoking it's still second hand smoke because you're inhaling it..
Avatar f tn My partner still smokes and I get his second hand smoke I tell him not to but he says its hard lol I'm early on in pregnancy like 14 weeks and find it kinda disrespectful at times so I can totally understand where you are coming from hun
Avatar f tn Now that a lot more is known about second-hand smoke, I'm really curious if when I got married to a smoker if that didn't bring on my allergies. Within 1.5 years of being married and living with a smoker, I all of sudden developed severe allergies where I was waking up every 30 minutes because my nose was completely closed up. I became allergic to the world, there's no place I can move to alleviate it.
Avatar n tn To stop smoking during pregnancy is a personal choice. Its like when people die from second hand smoke faster than the smoker or people who smoke and get cancer and others who smoke live longer. No one chances are the same. Just because other people had successful pregnancies while smoke don't mean u will or u won't. Its a matter of choice. I've nevered smoked no one in my immediate family does but my boyfriend family does and I don't go over there while I am pregnant.
Avatar m tn I'm a nurse and work in Pulmonary (lung specialists). Cigarette smoke can cause low birth weight. Cigarette smoking ESP one or two a day will not effect your baby's lungs. Cigarette smoking does not effect development except by low birth weight. We've also noticed babies born to women who smoke are more colicky than babies born to women who don't smoke. You should quit smoking because its bad for you and we see new cancer pt's everyday.
1723277 tn?1313991377 If you are pregnant smoking is definitely a no no, including second hand smoke. Same if you have a baby. Important not to smoke around it.
5601615 tn?1383450616 I don't think any kind of smoke is safe for babies
Avatar f tn is the baby breathing in second hand smoke? If not...
Avatar f tn I smoked on cigarette today but that's the first cigarette I had since I got pregnant I mean I'm sometimes around my uncle who smokes everyday and I heard second hand smoke is worse so I was wondering was it harmful to my babygirl when I did smoke that cigarette?
Avatar f tn @texasbaby just wondering how do they know of it was caused by smokingand not something else. Thanks for commenting though just a curious mom. I've known a few people who smoked while pregnant and their baby was born healthy. Healthy weight and not premature.
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 If you smoke it, yes the smoke is harmful but there are a million other things that are harmful to be around such as second hand smoke, eating lunchmeat, drinking coffee, changing litter boxes, being around mold, breathing in cleaning products and bleach while cleaning etc. With that being said, pot is illegal and therefore most moms or moms to be are going to be against it. If you do it you are taking a risk and not knowing what it could do.
