Here's the deal. I found out I was pregnant in December, immediatly I quit smoking! Did great for about 2 months, then in February, we relocated dispatch centers at work, went to midnights and 12 hour shifts, was around ALOT of smokers..no excuse I know, anyways I have started back. I know that is SO HORRIBLE! I feel just horrible about it. I'm not smoking a pack a day but I do smoke 6-10 a day. I feel horrible about it . Every day I swear I'm done, then by mid-day I start again.
Any suggestions as to what to do, how to quit. I think of my precious little baby and I feel like such a failure. I swore I would never smoke, and when I found out, I quit cold turkey...now it's 10 times harder.
Any advise, words of encouragement would be great!!!View Thread

I think some of it, not placing the blame cause I am the only one to blame, but 2 of the girls I work with were like, 'I smoked with all 4 of my kids and they are fine' ...yada yada yada....I don't believe it is healthy therefor I quit to start with. I can't believe I started back. You ladies have been very inspirational I WILL BE QUITTING NOW! Thank you both!View Thread


As for the old wives tales! I thought so too! However, I asked my doctor if the hair would go away after birth and she said " Yes, BUT that makes me think you are having a BOY". Something to do with the testosterone!?!?!?! Good luck!View Thread



You are correct- there is no increased risk! HOWEVER, the risk is more dangerous due to the fact the it can actually harm or even kill an unborn baby. Not to mention, no one wants have to deal with being that SICK while pregnant not only for the symptoms but the fact that some treatments aren't safe for the pregnancy....
However, I can't deny the fact that I still each me a good ham sandwich occasionally at home!View Thread
