Do you smoke cigarettes/cigars while pregnant?

Question

Just curious who smokes during pregnancy. Obviously it’s frowned upon but I know some people who smoked during pregnancy and was curious how common it is.

Answer

I’ll be honest 🙋🏼‍♀️
I have a 9 year old daughter. She was born 17 days early at 7lbs 3oz 19 inches. Perfect. Healthy. Amazing. I smoked that entire pregnancy. I was young and selfish. When I found out I was pregnant with number 2, it took me till week 11 to quit. But I did. I didn’t think I’d get lucky with rolling those dice twice.

Answer

I don’t think it’s just ‘frowned upon’, its proven to increase the risk of stillbirth, miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, and can cause damage to the baby’s heart and lungs

Answer

I feel like if you can’t stop smoking or drinking for 10 months of your life, you shouldn’t be getting pregnant 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
I know some people will think my opinion is rude, or even say that they were fine but I have seen kids suffer from those 2 things and it’s terribly sad.

Answer

It’s actually QUITE common in Europe
