Expectant Mother But Smoker

By popular August 18, 2020 39 answers Last updated August 18, 2020

Hello, I want to ask you, is it really a big problem that I will become a mother and smoke cigarettes? In fact, my husband and I both smoke. I'm 22 and he's 26. I'm 5 months pregnant now, but I smoke. It is propagated that cigarettes are almost terribly harmful, but I am fine and my pregnancy is good. And so far, women smokers have given birth without problems. I've been thinking lately from time to time and decided to ask you what you think? I turn to people who are already parents, especially mothers. It will be interesting for me to read the opinions of both smokers and non-smokers parents.

   Cigarettes are harmful, especially if they are in large quantities. However, if you stop them completely, you will get nervous and it will be even more harmful for the baby. I am also a smoker and smoked during pregnancy no more than 5 cigarettes from the weakest. After giving birth, I did not smoke while breastfeeding. But this period was short.

   You're fine, but is your baby okay? Doesn't it occur to you that at the moment everything you eat, drink or smoke goes directly into your baby's blood? So smoke, smoke and then pray that your baby does not have a health problem. And if you want, you can start drinking, just for sports, so that the baby gets used to cigarettes and alcohol before birth. You still don't seem to understand what it means to be pregnant and that at the moment, apart from yourself, you are responsible for the health of another person, a person with an undeveloped immune system, who, on top of everything, has no choice. Because you can decide whether to smoke or not, but the baby can't, by deciding to feed him nicotine and tar, but no matter how much he doesn't like it, he has no choice. Sorry, if I'm harsh but that's the truth, you're deliberately poisoning your child right now! But if I'm not sick, then everything is ok, is yes but it is not ok. Not from your child's point of view. When you give birth, if you want to smoke 5 boxes a day, it's your job, but until those 9 months are over, just think about what you are doing to your child.

   It is very bad that you smoke during pregnancy. I tell you from personal experience. My child has asthma only for this reason. I blame myself a lot and I'm sorry, but it's too late. Smoking has very bad effects on the fetus. Think carefully about how to quit smoking.

   My smoking friend spent her pregnancy smoking - but up to 5 cigarettes a day. The doctor she went to told her not to stop them because she has been a smoker for 20 years without stopping and now if she stops it will be stressful for the body and the baby. But be sure to reduce them. Now the baby is a healthy young lady of 2 years.

   If you do not think about yourself, think about the child, it is very harmful, and it is such a small creature, it can be born prematurely, then you can not breastfeed him if you smoke. It can be born with a disease ...

   Well, it is possible for a child to suffer from asthma later, for example, do you think it is a little? I am a smoker and very addicted. But when I got pregnant I smoked exactly 3 cigarettes with nicotine and tar 0. 1-0. 1 to the third month, when the placenta has already formed, and then up to 5 cigarettes of the same. During breastfeeding I reduced them again to 2-3, smoking them in halves. It's a lot again, but at least I tried my best. Nevertheless, my child had severe asthma attacks, and one time he was almost in my arms. It turned out that his skin was too dry to absorb the right amount of oxygen and that's why these seizures happened, but in addition to cigarettes, I also lived in a town regularly gassed by a Romanian factory. In the end, we changed not only the city, but also the country with Spain, so it has not had a single serious attack since then, but this does not diminish my guilt! Understand it as you want, but as a mother I tell you that you could save all this to the child. I have been living for many years with this guilt in my heart and soul.

   Abe girl, what is this nonsense. Your pregnancy may be good, you may give birth easily, but the damage to the fetus may appear after years ... an acquaintance of the child at the age of 3 or 4 showed delayed development. So stop smoking right away and don't let smoking around you. Do not experiment with your child !!!

   Author, you and your husband are simply antisocial. In the 5th month, you remembered to ask yourself and call scientific facts "propaganda" simply because it doesn't suit you. It is not propagandized, but it is a FACT that children of smokers are born underweight. If the child is a girl, you have additionally harmed your grandchildren, because your daughter's eggs were formed under the influence of tar and nicotine - there are already studies on the GRANDCHILDREN of daughters' smoking mothers. That is, it is possible for you to harm your grandchildren with your irresponsible behavior, even if you are carrying a girl. They told you the rest, from asthma to problems like autism and being underweight. And no, a few cigarettes are not the solution, because each cigarette leads to a strong contraction of blood vessels and stress to the fetus, can lead to thrombosis and heart attack. You and your husband are antisocial to me. Not only do you breed very young, probably under the shelter of your own parents and relying on their financial help, but you are not ready to take on basic responsibilities as parents, basic care for the health of the future child. All you have to do is share that you are drinking wine, beer and completing the picture ... P.P. My mother is a smoker, but she stopped during her pregnancy. That's 34 years ago, and even then doctors knew the effects of smoking during pregnancy, and you're talking nonsense in the 21st century simply because you can't stop smoking. By the way, in the 5th month it is already late - the organs and tissues have already formed, you have already harmed the baby - from now on it will only grow.

   My mother smoked during pregnancy, but there was no problem. Except that your baby will be born small, your umbilical cord will be stained with cigarettes and so on. At the age of 21 with no external or internal defect, but it also depends on the distance of time. Now the air, food and lifestyle are under criticism. For me, you are still small for a baby, and you should stop smoking at least during pregnancy. After the baby is born, you must smoke on the terrace, if you do not have one on the window, but not inside.

   * I haven't given birth, but I have a theoretical view of things. №10 - It is right that times change, you cannot compare a child from the 90s with a child just born. * There are many more threatening factors now than there were 20 years ago. * The gases emitted by cars. * Hars with different hormones meat products. * Poor quality clothes that lead to allergies. * Buckwheat drinks with different colors and preservatives. * Irradiation by technology. (smart phones, computers and tablets) * Various bacteria inhabiting our country. * Now the% are many times more babies with disabilities than 15-20 years ago. The woman may not have smoked, but there is a high percentage of her baby being born with a disability due to the aforementioned problems I have listed. * To the author - In the 5th month and you continue to smoke, you have often damaged the fetus enough, if you stop now, I don't think things will get better, who knows how many. * I hope you give birth to a healthy baby without problems, being born with the father to be careful. * Do not smoke in front of the baby. * Wash your hands thoroughly after smoking. * Do not smoke inside the rooms. * If you smoke after birth, do not breastfeed him, but give him artificial milk. * Let the author not be blamed, because you are mostly mothers, and no one wants to "hear" - "You are a bad mother", "You do not become a mother".

   Maryjane, you have a naive view of things because you forget the biggest factor that poisoned us in both the 80's and the 90's - HEAVY INDUSTRY. There were regular gassings with chlorine, sulfur, tar, the river in my city was a different color every day, because the textile factory released all the dyes directly into the river. There was heavy industry and ZIL trucks without a catalyst in every city! Smoking was everywhere - even on the train, there was smoking on the RACE, everywhere - there was smoking inside the hospital. It is also not an argument that you see the environment is dirty and now let's smoke because it is not a factor. About food - HORMONES ARE BANNED IN EUROPE. Growth hormones are given only in the United States, but even there it must be written on the package that hormones are given and no one buys these products. It is absolutely forbidden in the EU And more, which you do not seem to understand - artificial fertilizers are banned throughout the EU and that is why the fertilizer plant in Vratsa was closed. In the 80's and 90's not only fertilizers were poured in tons, but also used pesticides, which today are banned and are real poisons. Bacteria inhabited our country before there were people, animals and plants, so if you want to protect yourself from bacteria - try another planet Harmful drinks and clothes no one made you wear - you can drink water and wear organic clothes as you want. QUOTE "* Now the% are many times more babies with disabilities than 15-20 years ago. "Give statistics by saying such things. Today we have prenatal diagnostics and, for example, children with DOWN are not born, but 97% are aborted. There are no more problems in "times". Only because of the growing age of mothers there are problems Conclusion - 80% of comment 14 are full of hot-ikipelin, but the conclusion is still correct - it is irresponsible to smoke during pregnancy, and during breastfeeding it is forbidden to breastfeed a child smoker and this is a very good topic that concerns Maryjane, and for the rest she is forgiven, because she is probably 14 years old and has listened only to the nonsense told by the people around her, but quickly seem to have forgotten the sulfur over Ruse. Every day there was a newsletter on the radio where it was gassed and where people could stay at home without opening the windows. Ruse, Stara Zagora were regularly on the ballot. and for the rest she was forgiven, because she must be 14 years old and she listened only to the nonsense told by the people around her, but quickly they seemed to have forgotten the sulfur over Ruse.

   H 14, your theoretical view will not change the actual consequences, ok? !! Let's not tell the author that he is a bad parent in the case! I am n 7 and I speak openly about MY mistake and the consequences for my SON! Don't wave a finger at her with such an "understanding" of the author, but in fact an excuse. The problem is not that it is simply not clear, but that it even justifies smoking. And we are trying, as parents already (some) to point out (we are punching in the head) that she is currently raising in her body a living being that accepts everything that she, incl. cigarettes. Well, you don't look smarter or more sensitive, you just look stupid.

   Well, if you want your child to go to hospitals all his life, keep smoking! Only then do not complain, because the blame for his deteriorating health will be solely yours! Some time ago, a family was given to the New Home Brigade. The mother secretly smoked and drank during her second pregnancy and the child now has Down Syndrome. Is that what you want? My neighbors on the 4th floor stopped smoking when their children were small and still do, although the boys are already 15 and 12 years old. I have not seen them with a cigarette in their mouth.

scuderiaferrari answered · August 24, 2020

   I smoke too, but when I decide to become a father I would stop them for at least a few months, or even a year before that. As well as alcohol. I just want to provide quality genetic material to be at least a little more reassured that my child won't be harmed from the start. Because from 13 years of smoking and 10 years of drinking my body has been damaged enough, I do not want to pass this garbage in the DNA of my child. Some may say that sounds crazy, but that's my opinion. They say that a few months after quitting smoking and drinking, the body almost recovered, so that's my goal. As for the author - if you can't give up cigarettes for 9 months because of your child ... This is, to put it mildly, selfish. What is the father of my child is interesting, so as not to slap you two to realize? But he must be the same, now you are like that - selfish, think only of yourself and your own whims, and then cry that you have 10 miscarriages or a sick child. I recently read a study that over 70% of asthmatic children are children of smoking mothers. For me personally, it is disgusting for a woman to smoke, and if one day I fall in love with a non-smoker, I would stop them for a moment. Are with health.

zalando answered · August 24, 2020

   They give birth without problems, but the children have problems later. How will you forgive yourself if your baby has asthma or other health problems related to smoking during pregnancy. You know that cigarettes enter the placenta and the baby feeds on them. Then will you breastfeed? You can burn one for him when he is born. Sorry for the sarcasm, but a baby is unable to process food other than milk, let alone handle toxins. I tell you again, will you forgive yourself for hurting him? It can't help itself, it can't come out of your stomach and not take cigarettes, it can't come out of the cradle and it can't breathe smoke. Stop smoking at home, and you stop them altogether (it's good for the father to stop, too). The price is too high.

   Author, look at me now how all sectarians, raw foodists and moralists will erupt. I am 39. I became pregnant with my first child, a normal conception, at 35. I did not stop smoking for a moment. I reduced them a lot, changed them to lighter ones, but I didn't stop. My doctor had allowed up to 2 a day, I allowed 3 more, and so I did 5 a day, intermittently. It was a lot of trouble because I usually smoke in a box. I had a wonderful pregnancy, with the only complication being Gestational Diabetes, which is dictated by my high blood sugar in general. Due to another health problem I had to give birth to a planned section - the child was born 2750g, 48 cm, 10 days before term. Wonderful measures for a newborn. She is already 3 years old and, unlike many of her peers, she does not have any serious illnesses, she has never taken medication with her hands, she has never taken an antibiotic. Hello, right, extremely energetic and curious child. He grew outside, in the soil, in the sand, in the grass, exploring and trying everything he could find. And those with allergies are mothers who wipe their hands, face, mouth, legs and everything exposed as soon as the child touches a dirty surface. Mild pregnancy and childbirth

   The author tries to convince herself that there is nothing harmful with words like "propaganda" and explanations that cigarettes are not harmful. It is not bad to smoke them as he wants, but to get educated about the "benefits" of smoking and accept the consequences. Such irresponsible individuals should not become parents.

maxxyneel answered · August 24, 2020

   People, we are only here for the one who blows. Irresponsible smokers will smoke and do not care what happens to the child, because their addiction is stronger than anything. They even found some quack doctors who supposedly allowed them to puff. No wonder - during communism and radioactive toothpaste they might have given them the same uncles and aunts if they were prescribed cigarettes today ... but the doctor says 2 cigarettes, and the "smart" ones decide that they are 5 - 2.5 times more and because nothing has happened to their baby so far - Fuck you, girls, puff-puff, the NHIF pays or even better - it's not from the cigarettes, but from the air outside. It should be like in the USA - such people not only pay double health insurance, but also when a sick child is born due to smoking / drinking / drugs - they pay for their own treatment. Let's see if they smoke then. FOR THE AUTHOR, it is already late - in 5 months, whatever injuries should have happened, they have happened. The first 2 trimesters are decisive, then even if you stop smoking, the bitch is minimal. I learned something new about myself - that even the umbilical cord of babies in smokers is tarred! HORROR. There is nothing more eloquent proof of the harm of the poison, but even if they give birth to a baby in spots, they will still say that it is from the radiation outside or from the magnetic storms, or from the cheese in the store - they will invent something else. Here and mothers of such children wrote, who regret what was done and again the mind does not come .... It is a pity that then the whole society pulls because of such fools and we pay them treatment, TEMPs and nonsense the tail is minimal.

   n 34, I am pregnant (n. 29 I am and others, I do not want). I go to hospitals and see all sorts of things at the moment and the first thing the doctors ask me is if I smoke. In the waiting room we talk to the other mothers and no one smokes or wants to admit it. I agree that Down is not from smoking - it is a type of chromosomal abnormality that can affect anyone. I decided on the Internet in English and it is not true that smoking and drinking cause Down, but SMOKING falsifies Down tests and leads to unnecessary tests. Another interesting fact I found is that a woman's age is not so decisive and can even "hit" anyone. I have been screened for Down and my doctor has found such embryos in 20-year-olds, so I highly recommend screening for every woman, regardless of age - it's a hormonal test and a specific ultrasound test, and only in case of doubt is a puncture of amniotic fluid performed. However, it does not mean that smoking / drinking has no effect on Down, it is not enough to give birth to a child with asthma, allergies, premature or underweight. Smoking is a poison, and the fact that there are other poisons outside does not justify exposing your baby to the maximum amount of poison that a person can absorb. Even 3-4 cigarettes have a great effect especially on the cardiovascular system. Separately, nicotine also affects the nervous system, the baby's brain. It is one thing for a person to choose to poison himself, but you have not asked the child if he wants to smoke and poison himself. During pregnancy, we are simply not responsible only for ourselves, but for a completely different person, for an INDEPENDENT person who has the right to develop in the best possible conditions. In these 9 months as women we are a kind of incubator for a new life and we have no right to simply poison it. Then smoke 10 packs of cigarettes a day if you want and do not breastfeed as cigarettes are more important to you, but pregnancy cigarettes, alcohol and drugs is just taboo. You can't exclude other poisons except, say, in food. 6 months BEFORE I got pregnant, my husband and I switched to organic and local food - that is, we buy meat, eggs and minced products from the surrounding villages from acquaintances to make sure they will not be poisoned, vegetables in a similar way, and you're not only sure you're eating junk, you're smoking on top of everything, and you're not even ashamed of it, and you either don't care or you're making excuses. Pathetic. It's one thing to have a baby with Down without it, but it's quite another to poison your child, which would be healthy without your behavior. Think about it.

   Look people, smokers don't take their word for it! Whether they will be 20, whether they will be 40 - it's just that there is simply no way to influence them. 20-year-olds at least have a chance to come to their senses, but 40-year-olds are just as stubborn as donkeys on a bridge. And a lot of mouths are just daring to tell them something against these cigarettes. They are ready to jump into battle.
