Did you smoke during pregnancy?

Question

smoke during pregnancy?" /> I have a friend who is 2 months pregnant. She still smokes, not as much as she used to, but still smokes.

My mom smoked her whole pregnancy and I was LOUSY with earaches, double ear infections, asthma, ADHD and the like as a child. I grew out of most of that but still, there seems to be corrolation between smoking mothers and children with chronic ear infections.

Answer

My friend kept smoking because her doc told her not to quit cold turkey but to durasticly limit her intake. Her baby was born healthy but it would twitch. It went away but the baby is too young to determine if anything else is wrong. Doc said it was from the nicotine though.
