any vaping mommas?

Question

please please keep your opinions to yourself if youre not familiar with vaping. Im looking for opinions strictly from Moms that vape/vaped during pregnancy to help quit smoking. I was able to quit cold turkey but my anxiety and depression is getting out of hand. Im constantly craving and it makes me crazy and hasnt gotten any better. I would only be interested in vaping 0 nic so it wouldnt have any nicotine associated and I know my cravings will still be present but Im hoping to help it get better gradually. Any experiences with vaping while pregnant? Again, nonvaping Moms on glow like to jump on their soapbox any chance they get but please only share your experience or opinion if youve vaped. Otherwise, your thoughts are not constructive. Thanks 😊

Answer

I don't necessarily have an opinion; I vaped prior to becoming pregnant but since I didn't do it while pregnant I don't feel I have anything to add or advise you. I am however passionate about mental illness, especially during pregnancy and would discuss with your doctor the pros and cons of 0mg vaping compared to the risks of taking depression and anxiety medication while pregnant. To simply suggest breathing techniques, assuming those grounding skills work for everyone just because it helped another is a little ridiculous. Anxiety comes in all shapes and sizes, I'm sure you know your mind and what ways of decreasing anxiety work for you, there is no "one size fits all" for mental illness. Stress can be just as detrimental during pregnancy so I would ask a doctor and not compare yourself to women who aren't in your situation (because its human nature for these women to still share their opinions even if the situation doesnt apply to them 😂). Vapor liquid has 3 ingredients, anxiety/depression meds have hundreds. Heck, I take Zofran which isnt even approved for pregnancy. Weigh your pros and cons with an OB.

I think if you could post anonymous a lot of moms would be more trueful because I know I’ve seen a lot of moms pregnant smoking weed and cigarettes I even smoked with my first yes I was dumb and 16 but my other I smoked maybe a week or two into my pregnancy until I could completely stop. But vaping I don’t know about but I hit a cigarette once st 6monyhs and I threw up

Answer

I personally didn’t do it when I was pregnant, I would find other things to do to relieve my anxiety. I just didn’t want to inhale anything bad especially bc I had twins lol It’s still smoke nonetheless, still not good for them. But I mean it happens anyways, there’s always that possibility of something bad happening and it causes a health issue, but it’s completely up to you if you’re willing to take that risk! I don’t even vape around my boys now either and they’re 7 months old.
