Pregnant women who
..smoke make me want to take a two hop, open hand *** slap them. Seriously, you can't lay down cigs for a matter of months?
Confession: I used to smoke. Got hooked on them back in the young college days of partying. March 28, 2009 was the last time I had one. I knew that if we wanted to TTC it was a no-brainer. Then we waited close to 5-6 months before starting TTC.
Sure it wasn't easy to quit. There are days I still think about them. They make you stink, cough, etc. But when you are addicted, you are.
But it CAN be done. Selfish bitches.

Re: Pregnant women who
My step-sis smoked with both of hers. They are now healthy children. IMO that doesn't make it ok.
Such as: oooh BFP guess I should try to stop now?
That's part of the reason we waited for a while. Also, I do not plan to start back if/when we do have a child.
My mom smoked with her first two kids (me and sis) and quit for the last. We were only 5 lbs. Brother was born premature, but he weighed the same as the two of us, so if he was full term he would have been a normal weight. She started smoking again as soon as he was born and doesn't think smoking harms her or the people who breathes in her second hand smoke one.little.bit. My sister had to tell her she wasn't allowed to smoke around her kids. My mother sees nothing wrong with blowing smoke right around an infant.
She's my mom and I love her but man, she's got some crazy notions.
Yeah...it's somewhat different when it's an 'oops' but...to knowingly do it? no.
(although I do also get pissy w/ the "I gave it up for 9 months...little Beauford's lungs, now that he's born, cvan be black and I don't care; I'll smoke in my ouse if I wanna")
MIL smoked when she was PG w/twins. They were born @ 7 mo., and one survived (DH), one did not.
I don't understand smoking while KU at all, and especially not when you already have a riskier than average pregnancy. I can't prove that they would haved fared better if she hadn't smoked, but I wouldn't have taken that chance.
Super late, but for the morning:
Y'all know that I'm not a quitter: cigarettes and I might be estranged right now, but I fully expect a reconciliation in a few more decades.
But even I, who passionately enjoys smoking, and never wanted to give it up, managed to quit cold turkey when the stick turned pink (and for my level of smoker, that's not recommended: it makes morning sickness absolute hell.). And I was never a hardcore in-the-house smoker. You know what that does to your security deposit/property values? Nicotine doesn't alter your brain enough for you to be stupid.
