I've just had my booking appointment with the midwife and we went through all my history, previous pregnancies blah blah.
She asked if I smoked and I said no, I quit once I found out I was pregnant (which I did! Completely cold turkey, haven't smoked for two weeks).
Anyway she says she needs to test my carbon monoxide levels with this device that looks like a breathalyser. Is this a new thing? I didn't have this with my previous pregnancies?
Anyway I blow into and it stops in the red zone on level 8 which suggests I'm a smoker! I'm so peeved! I bet she thought I was such a liar and that I am still smoking (which I'm truly not!!). She said it could be from a faulty boiler at home or traffic fumes but I'm not sure?!
Has anyone else ever blown into the red zone and they don't smoke? I said it could be left over CO because I only quit like 2 weeks ago but she said its highly unlikely.
She was actually lovely but I just felt like I was on trial or something.
