Is Smoking During Pregnancy Really Okay?
If this offends anyone I guess you can unfriend me or block me, whatever. But, it really makes me angry when women who smoke cigarettes go around saying "I smoked cigarettes during my pregnancy and my baby came out just fine." Good for you, you're lucky. Wait a few years and see if you're still lucky...you never know what problems may arise with your child that go back to you smoking while pregnant. I guess my point is if you know the risks and you're going to smoke anyway, please don't go around talking about it like it's okay...it really just isn't. Ugh.

@babybue16, I understand exactly and I appreciate you saying that. I'm so tired of reading things pregnant moms post that try to justify smoking while pregnant. In my opinion there is no justification and like I said if you know the risks and are going to anyways you probably shouldn't talk about it...works me up too.
I get worked up every time I read a post about people smoking while pregnant. It's not ok. It's not even good for adults who aren't pregnant so why expose a baby to that. There's no excuse. Even if there is trouble quitting cold turkey, there is no reason why someone should still be smoking at 28 weeks. Im pretty sure it's possible to reduce to zero a lot faster than that. I appreciate that you posted this especially since you are a smoker and have anxiety issues.
I'm diagnosed with both PTSD and anxiety & I quit cold turkey as well.
@gracelynnfaith0728, and also this post is solely about cigarettes any pregnant woman should monitor those other things as well
@nicemmcha2015, exactly...Like I said above I have severe Anxiety and PTSD and I smoked a lot before and I quit taking all meds/smoking and dealt with my problems through therapy. I was not risking it when it comes to my daughter.
@brit1335, @theinkedmommy exactly ladies and thanks @jujulove13
@gracelynnfaith0728, yeah there's always some sort of special circumstance. I have PTSD and severe Anxiety and I quit taking my medicine cold turkey and I also quit smoking a pack a day. If your doctor tells you something you shouldn't ever disregard it but js.
People are selfish beings. that's all it comes down to. they do what they want and then will make up excuses till they are blue in the face as to why they do it. there is no excuse for that. anxiety my butt. they make meds specifically for that that are pregnancey safe. I smoked for 6 years and once we decided we wanted a baby I stopped completely 4 months before. to me.. My kids mean that much. it makes me angry because that kid is the one that's going to pay for it in the long run health wise when they didn't ask for it.
A woman at work told me that "others smoke. I'll be fine." and then her baby was born at 32 weeks. coincidence? maybe. but soooo not worth risking it.
I'm 28 weeks measuring 3 weeks ahead. I smoke. I have issues with stress and anxiety, and ciggs calm me down. My OBGYN even said for me to not quit cold turkey because of my issues. I reduced. Everyone has a different opinion. There's a lot of things that can harm pregnancy. My daughter is perfectly healthy, but if i just up and quit it can harm her more than it can help. Eating too much salt can cause problems, eating too much sugar can cause problems. A lot of things cause issue, not just ciggs.
@goodbyelullabye, there's just no argument that it's good for your health lol!
my husband has asthma too. he said he's had it since he was a kid but I know all his coughing and wheezing is caused from him smoking.
@goodbyelullabye, 😑 I really suffered from second hand smoke as a child. I had horrible asthma.
I know I got mad at my MIL when she said "a little second hand smoke isn't going to hurt your baby".Im glad I dont have to deal with that crazy old bat anymore.
@gor_jess, it gets me going 😑 I haven't smoked in over 8 months (since I found out I was pregnant)...it can be done.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
Thanks! :)
