I have a question for you moms. This might be controversial & I don't want to start any arguments, buuuut when I found out I was pregnant my friend found out she was pregnant 2 weeks later. With that being said she smokes. She continues to smoke like she was never pregnant. I used to smoke & literally quit with my 1st pregnancy & never picked it back up again. I told her that she should slow down & eventually quit. That's what I did when I told my doctor. she said she's going to continue to smoke. How can I help her without being judgmental?

I smoked when I was pregnant and I feel guilty as hell for it. thank god my son is healthy as can be but all in all I would just be there for her. For some people it's harder to quit then others . some people don't get the cocept that there actually pregnant until those first movements. I know I didn't . and that makes it even harder. I tried . but from smoking a pack and a half a day to about 4 was a big accomplishment for me. Just encourage her to at least keep it to a minimal. or try different methods to help her quit . that's less toxic.

You're absolutely right. I try to get her to go walking with me or exercise so she can see there's other things to do to get stress relief. maybe we need to part ways

@mrsmord, it seems like she has no interest. When I first found out with my first I was pregnant I smoked. I also was 18. It was more of a social thing with friends. it was easy for me to quit bc I felt guilty. Idk what to do. I don't support her bc I feel it's selfish. ugh!

does she have an interest in quitting ? or she doesn't really care.. because once the person doesn't care there's no way to make them stop .
