Pregnant and smoking; so what
I'm 7 months pregnant and smoke between 1 and 1 ½ packs of cigarettes every day. I read two other fairly recent posts by pregnant smokers and just couldn't believe the incredible hatred in the responses that were submitted, although in each of the posts there were also a few supporting ones. I live in West Virginia, and virtually everyone I know who is or has been pregnant smoked while pregnant. There never is a problem. My mother smoked when she had us kids, and my two sisters smoked with theirs, and this is my fourth and I smoked with all of mine. Never a problem. I seriously enjoy smoking. I started when I was 9 and am now 30, and never plan on stopping for any reason. From what I've seen, smoking does nothing bad for the fetus or I would have seen all of these defective, sick babies being born. They just all turn out just fine. Society is just all f'ed up, if you ask me. To those two earlier smoking preggos that posted, I say more power to you for continuing to enjoy yourself. Smoke away!
It so cool people are posting that they smoke while preggo. I do too. I had 5 kids now and my hubby keeps knocking me up, and have #6 on the way. I never stopped smoking since I started when I was 10 and I'm 29 now and a fat and happy smokin preggo mom. I don't know wtf everybody gets so upset about a preggo smoker. Really.
I'm so proud of you for still smoking, I would love to talk about it on a different platform
"pregnant and smoking so what" Exactly! You started at 9 and no plans on stopping and why should you, both my daughters smoked through while pregnant and guess what? The kids came out fine and are all smokers as well. Keep smoking mama and even let your children smoke as much around you/new child as well.
Do any of your kids smoke? Maybe they should help it along for the new bro/sis to get it addicted asap. Like the title says "Pregnant and smoking so what" That is exactly the way i feel about it.
Your not wrong, cigarettes can cause SOME damage in people who ALREADY HAVE preexisting conditions such as COPD or Asthma, but if you don't have these you should honestly be fine. People turned this into nobody should smoke ever, and now smoking during pregnancy is tabo even though there is very little evidence it does anything to the baby. There is no reason you should deprive yourself of nicotine, and if your child wants to smoke later in life there's no reason they shouldn't be allowed to as well.
West Virginia you say? Does your brother-daddy care about you smoking with his kid in your belly?
Smoking a lot will of course be a risk. But I am a son of a smoker, my wife is currently pregnant and although she always says she wants to quit, wears nicotine patches etc, she is still smoking. And I fully support her. Her 5 or less cigarettes per day are certainly less harmful than being stressed or breathing city air pollution in a normal day.
Well shows how much of a ** u give for your kid I guess
Ignore the idiots: you're one of the really ** mothers. Congratulations!
Thank you. You're so kind.
You know your a dumb ** right?
Are you a complete moron? -number 1 your lungs will have enough tar to repave my driveway, and 2 you say youre not hurting your baby by smoking huh how dumb are you i feel sorry for you and the pitiful pri*k who knocked you up put down the smokes dumbass youre certainly no mother of the year, when the baby is born the doctor needs to slap you instead of the baby.
