who can say..

[Natasha2605]

I didn't do much of either beforehand so it wasn't a problem for me xx

 

[rubixcyoob.]

I will get so slated for this but it's best to be honest.

The day me and OH found out we went and got drunk with another couple at uni. I drank enough to get me relatively tipsy - almost drunk and I had a cigarette or two that night.
A few days after that I had a shared joint between 3 people, after a couple of puffs I freaked out because the baby, went and flipped out, had a panic attack, felt as if my heart was racing, couldn't see straight, could barely talk, couldn't walk and was violently sick quite a few times. Needless to say, that was the last time I ever came in contact with weed ever.
I also had a few cigs in the first few weeks. Less than 1 a day on average. My last one was ... Paramore concert in December I'm sure, I had a few and ended up throwing up all over a toilet stall because it made me feel so vile.

It's not much of a defence but during the times I done that stuff I was dead set on getting rid of my baby. Since then I have had less than 1/4 of a glass of wine and lemonade at a friends 18th to toast her. I honestly thank God every day that even regardless of my actions my baby turned out healthy in the scans and checks I could not live with myself knowing that I had seriously hurt him or god forbid lost him due to my selfishness in those first few weeks.

I haven't had alcohol or cigarettes since being pregnant, but I don't smoke and really never drank beforehand either.

 

[Shauna19]

I dont smoke so
And well i onli found out when i was six weeks! Buts as soon as i found ou i havent drank since and i went on holidays the day after i found out !!

 

[rainbows_x]

I haven't touched one drop of alcohol since the conception night

As for smoking I have been naughty, I quit for about two weeks early on, then went to having like one a day, then one every other day & i haven't smoked for one week now, since going into the hospital, it scared the hell out of me & I felt so guilty so I refise to even be around it now.

When I was in hospital though another woman was brought in - She was 29 weeks and had a positive fibronectin like me, I felt so bad, I thought being 32 weeks and having it was bad enough but she was 3 weeks behind me so felt sorry for her. Until she started going out for fags every 20 minutes

 

[peace]

Haven't drank since i've found out, same with smoking..and i'm a 20 a day smoker, i'm dying for a smoke however. but I wont!

 

[StarBound]

Hmm i cant actually believe people are still smoking whilst pregnant :/ It may be your decision but you should be thinking of the harm to your child

(sorry if this is offensive but im allowed my opinion just as much as you are)

I have never smoked so doesnt affect me and im not really a drinker but did have a WKD about a week into the pregnancy and i didnt know i was pregnant at the time

 

[Wobbles]

She asked a straight forward question, yes or no, not a lecture based on individual opinions.

We all know whats medically advised and MWs should talk to all expecting parents about these things but here on this thread like I say ...she asked a question.

Lets make sure this doesn't get locked ladies.

Exactly u have never smoked, so i think that should be hard for u to comment on

 

[emmylou209]

i have had 2 cigs since finding out - 1 when i found cz i needed to calm down and the second was when my OH brought sum flavoured tobacco and wanted to taste it was only a puff thou

alcohol i have like a small glass of wine with lemonade or a shandy once a month



everythink is ok in moderation

This is not a thread on whether you should or shouldn't smoke while pregnant, or what people's opinions on the matter are. This is a thread asking a simple question. People are not giving their opinion on the matter and neither should you because it will get way out of hand and turn into an arguement. Plus opinions were not asked for. Just yes or no.

Also, you have never smoked. So until you do you cannot judge on how hard it is to give up for some people.

 

[FayDanielle]

Not to add or build up an argument or anything.
But...

Heavy smokers are advised to cut down rather than stop alltogether, as it can do more damage to the baby and our bodies if we stop straight away.
We're also advised if we do want to stop FULLY, but are finding it hard, cut down until 36 weeks, and stop then.

That was the advice I was given anyway.

 

[lushious09]

no not a single drop even if i had wanted to i couldnt as it made me sick from the start lol

 

[Desi's_lost]

i wasnt much of a smoker, though i tried to be a few times i just never liked it. Made me feel sick and gross. I was guilty of being the the car with FOB while he was smoking, the if it counts the windows were always down and he was probably driving fast. he stopped doing it when we found out.

and i actually have a really...well i thought funny story. I got this i guess all natural salsa that had no preservatives and such, was just chopped up veges. It was really hot so it was taking me a while to eat it and maybe a week after i got it i was sitting there thinking hmm...this tastes different, must just be me...waaaiiitttt, this is familiar MA what is this?? haha it had fermented! but i hadnt eaten much and i doubt there was any real alcohol content. freaked the hell out of me though.

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

i don't smoke anyways, but i haven't had anything to drink since being pregnant..
but then again, i only really drank at parties, and once i started, i'd get pretty out of it.. bit of a lightweight, so obviously wouldn't have drunk either.. haven't even had the odd glass or anything, but it's just a personal choice..

i think to be honest the girls who smoked quite alot before and have cut down - well done.. also i know a girl who tried to go cold turkey smoking when pregnant, and ended up causing more serious problems as her body wasn't ready for it.. and she just kept passing out and stuff - that's wayyy more dangerous to your baby..
and she spent quite a few days in hospital, and they told her to just smoke, not as much, but the odd few, to reduce stress and stuff too.. cause when you are the baby is.. so to be honest it's a catch 22..

and if you're someone who's never smoked, you can't be in a position to judge really.. i'm not saying i have an opinon either way on it, i'm just saying well done to the girls who've cut down, for doing that at least..
xxxx

Fay Danielle, posted just before me.. but basically said the same thing..

 

[kirste1]

ive not drank, but i do smoke... before i was pregnant, i used to have about 15 a day.. soon as i found out, i cut down to 3 a day.. and felt so much better for it too!

 

[bbyno1]

ahh well done to all the girls who have cut down
i dont know coz iv never been a smoker but i can imagine how hard itd be!
like me cutting down or cutting chocolate out of my life that would kill me lol.
but we all having healthy babies so either way it doesnt matter..i didnt intend to cause any arguments or cross words just wanted to be nosey i guess lol x

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

I could, none passed my lips when I was pregnant AT ALL
xx

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

I agree this thread is not about whether smoking is bad or not. I must be hard to give up (I was a light smoker and it was hard) at least if they cut down they are trying
xx
