So I have a question, and I hope no one judges me but before I got pregnant I was a cigarette smoker...I stopped as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Now that I have birth 2 weeks ago, I have been kinda craving for a cig...Now my question is, if I do happen to have a cig will the nicotine pass thru the breastmilk since I am pumping and feeding her my milk?
@msmeli81, I have a lady group chat and today we are talking about that would you care to join?
@babyjunebug, @raegenice thx ladies...my cravings haven't been bad yet...sometimes i feel like having one but I don't feel like I NEED one...but I don't have a feeling I'm gonna go back...it's a bad habit I need to break...
It will pass through breast milk. They say if you have to smoke do it right after breastfeeding or pumping so your body has the maximum amount of time to cut down on the amount of nicotine before the next feeding. Also the most dangerous part is the chemicals. It's not just smoking around your baby, it's the chemicals that linger in your clothes and hair that your baby breathes in when you hold them. I've never been a smoker so I don't know how bad the cravings get, but if you've been off for nine months maybe it's worth fighting. Whatever you decide good luck momma!
Sadly I believe it does pass through to the milk and in high levels at that. I've read it can affect your milk supply and your baby even after you've smoked because it lingers in the air as well. But I think you should talk to your OB or a lactation consultant if you're really feeling the urge. Good luck momma.
Well Mama's I got a question for y'all ok my homegirl trying to get pregnant what she have to do
Who has the nexplanon implant right now? I have some questions!
Hi
I am into my 15 week now
But since last two days am not having good feeling....I just feel something is wrong inside wid d kid...all my symptoms r too less
Morning sickness is gone....Metallic taste of my tounge is also less....and I feel pain in my abdoman twice or thrice which is very minor though
What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
I gotta question could I be pregnant and have 2 1/2 day period because I think i got pregnant on Nov 26 and had implantation bleeding on Dec 11 because I'm usually on my period for at least 4 days but mostly 5 or 6 which my full period was Nov 11 for 5 days ?? but in dec only 2 1/2 days it's kinda confusing really im excited about my Dr visit feb19 to know for sure :)
I just have one question for now...you ladies aren't mad that I have to take zofran pills to eat and drink anything without puking my guts out in the bathroom?
@allizayesmom, sure
