*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

i dont think lifestyle or stress or whatever is an excuse, would you sit next your babys crib and light up? i think not.. if anything happened could you live with yourself knowing it could be your fault for smoking? all im saying is, is it really worth it for that few minutes, end of the story is no it isnt worth it at all!
i just cant understand how anyone could do it?! thats just my opinion, not meant to sound harsh at all, and you say your trying to quit which is better than nothing, i suppose even cutting down is better than carrying on the same, good luck to you and i hope you manage to quit asap x

 

[repogirl813]

i'm sorry ladies if i seem selfish because i smoke but im sorry boothh for you to judge me in that way because i have an addiction to cigs then i'm sorry my doctor was actually happy today that i had cut from 1 pack to half a pack this week my next step is not at all while at work to quitting all together.

Maybe im just a bit emotional when someone is judging me but i feel i am taking a good step sorry all!!

 

[padbrat]

padfoot, gestational sac or yolk sac? Do you have a picture? Thats good that the doctors aren't concerned.

bbgurl, good luck with quitting...now it can be hard, ( I had to quit caffeine) but it will pay off in the end.

Dunno which... I was too scared to look so am relying on Hubby's extremely crap description.... which went along the lines of.."it was round, which is better than last time and was about 5mm"...

I am soooo praying that we see more next week...

 

[repogirl813]

ok well i must log off here for a while as i'm just getting irritated and it's probably just my emotions but it's best for me to step away. And i have had mc's by the way boothy and quit when i found out with them and guess what when i lost those babies i turned back to having my stress reliever!!!

 

[Boothh]

i didnt mean to upset you its just my opinion, i am addicted too its not like its easy, i want a cigarette all the time but i just dont have one because for me i just personally couldnt bring myself to do it,
you are taking a great step like i said before cutting down at all is great and a really good thing for the health of your baby, obviously everybody is different and it isnt as easy for everyone to quit as it is for me so im lucky in that respect,
this is a public forum and you will find people with opnions that dont match yours,
i dont mean to upset you personally, x

yeah and so have i had mcs and quit straight away with them, when things went wrong of course i started again, the fact your taking this so personally is probably because you know im right, never was aimed directly at you it was a general opinion of anybody who smokes while pregnant, im not arguing with you, you need to remember a public forum you will find opinions that differ to yours and need to take it with a pinch of salt, also when reading things you could be turning the tone differently to what the writer intended,
im not apologising again.

It hasn,t even been a week for me and i went being awake 12 hours a day smokin 1 pack and now from 4:30 in the morning til midnight smokin only 1/2 a pack or less. This is my first pregnancy and havent had or wanted to quit before so its a little bit of a struggle. Plus my OH and my ENTIRE family smoke and that makes it alot harder. But i think im doing pretty damn well at it. and yes stress causes ME to smoke. And everyone i kno that has been pregnant has smoked throughout there pregnancy and the doctors here dont force you to do it cuz it can cause stress on the BABY.

 

[bbygurl719]

and that wasnt intended harsh either and i know everyones going to have there own opinoin on it and i respect that.

 

[Boothh]

if everyone you knew jumped off a bridge would you do it..

 

[Boothh]

if your making an effort to quit than thats great and i wish everybody every luck with that, i cant help my opinion i guess it is something i feel extremely strongly about with my OH being extremely asthmatic and his mum chain smoking during pregnancy..

 

[repogirl813]

and though yes it is a public forum and you are completely entitled to your own opinion but also in the same breathe i am here for support not for somebody who thinks she is better off because she laid her cigs down and never turned back to put me down and tell me i am being selfish!! No i don't think your right in any way becaus ei don't believe any one person should ever look down on someone and that is what you have done here!! I am a wonderful person and will make a wonderful mom to my 3rd baby!!! And so will bby, bby just message me we will work on our own plan of quiting so we do not have to hear her opinion on what horrible people we are!!!!

 

[Boothh]

never said you were a horrible person, i dont think i am better than you either or for one second think you wont be an amazing mother, i never said any of that, your taking my GENERAL opinion way too personally, your judging me just the same, your assuming i think im better than you, i think your a horrible person, etc etc when infact im just stating my opinion which will not change whatever you say, if you want to get all arsey because your offended by my opinion (which im definatly not alone in) then maybe a forum isnt a place for you..

 

[repogirl813]

yep maybe not i came for support not for someone to tell me that i am being selfish!!!!!!!! sorry

 

[Boothh]

well what do you expect you must know smoking during pregnancy is generally frowned upon you really thought nobody would say anything suggesting that?

 

[bbygurl719]

well i understand you feel that way about it but they way it was writin was really harsh. You coulda said it in a nicer way.

 

[Boothh]

theres really no nice way to put it... like i said i wish you every luck with quitting, we are just going round in circles now.

 

[bbygurl719]

Actually smoking isnt frowned on from were im from. They want you to quit but its your choice to do so or not. And back when they didnt kno all the stuff the do now everyone who smoked. smoked during pregnancy. And look at the people our age we are all FINE. I kno my gramma smoked with my mom and my mom smoked with me and my brother..
