Re: Smoking whilst pregnant. - December 16th 2010, 03:32 PM

If you get pregnant, whether on purpose or accident, and decide to keep that child it is your responsibility to keep that baby as healthy as possible. I know its hard to quit, but how could anyone take that risk with all the proven negative effects it will have on the baby's health. I personally couldn't live with myself doing that kind of potential damage to my son. Granted, some women smoke while pregnant and their child has no side effects from it. But, really, they just got lucky.

I smoked until the day I found out I was pregnant. When I found out, I quit and didn't pick one back up until a few months after giving birth (the morning sickness did really help me give it up though). Even then, I never smoked near him, and everyone who smoked that touched him had to wash their hands and cover up while smoking.


When reality is a prison, your mind can set you free.
