Quoting ♥asm:“ Hey, let's bump up old threads. Because TDC isn't cluttered enough as it is.”

Not everybody checks TDCregularly to look for new posts. And it doesn't clutter it anymore, all it means is you'll actually have to search to get in on all the 'new' drama.

when i was preggo i was still smoking and i jsut slowly cut backand eventually quit all together. it took me like 4 months to completely stop. but right before i quiti stillsmoked like 1 cig. every cpl weeks. and my daugter turned out perfectly ok. only thing that was wrong with her was she had an umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and she has eczema lol which neither were serious at all.

I used to smoke-for over 30 years-everyday- a pack a day-more or less-and as soon as I found out-I STOPPED! Do whatever it takes! You are more likely to smoke around your children, too! Even though Ismoked with my daughters pregnancy-I feel aweful that I did that...as soon as I laid eyes on her I never smoked around her-till this day! Even on the coldest days I would go outside! And now-I stopped because it is so bad! And I think your BSing about your doctors---my doctors (@ Beth Isreal Hosp, Boston and Mass. General, Boston) told me quite ASAP! Your baby will have a better chance in the womb than out! Don't just think of your self, think of your baby! Would you want someone blowing smoke in your infants face over and over again?? You would flip out if some one did that! Well, that's exactly what your doing every time you take a puff! Get some help! And if you didn't want ppl totellyouthe truth, you shouldn't have posted that you smoke!

Quoting monika:“ i hate how people judge and tell me i shouldnt smoke while im pregnant, and im a bad parent if i do. ... [snip!] ... want to smoke, but i would rather smoke than put her in shock and kill her. Am i wrong or do others believe what i believe?”

What the fuck did you expect when you posted that you are pregnant and smoke..? Were you expecting a medal for being honest or cookies b/c you think it is ok??...
You should of kept that shit to yourself.....
Were you expecting supportor for others to be understanding? Fucking grow up or shut up!.....

this is really late but, OMG did you see what you have done to your child by smoking?? I've looked at her pics and all of her pain is ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT! I hope she grows up to hate your selfish ass.

smoking causes babies to be born underweight and premature.
so when your baby is hooked up to all the stuff in the hospital.
blame yourself.
