Thats right, they barely told us anything back then. If they had advice it was usually over a drink!

My wife took thalidomide when she was pregnant, and our kids are fine.
I had a girlfriend who's mom took thalidomide with her, and she was fine. So was her brother.

:shrug:

The truth is, I know a lot of women who smoked when they were pregnant, and none of their kids had any birth defects or problems. No low birth weight, no preemies. So I'm curious where they got that "statistic" that says smoking during pregnancy is harmful.

Back when I was pregnant with my kids, the doctor didn't tell you to stop smoking when you were pregnant. This is a more recent phenomenon - the anti-smoking hysteria that people buy into. In fact, most of my girlfriends who were pregnant around the same time I was smoked - and their kids are fine, too.

Well since you put it that way, how do you know your kids are fine since you are gauging them being fine by comparing them to other pregnant smokers kids??? :coffee:

Too me it's not the smoking. Sure lots of stuff has come out about smoking and pregancy, but it's her ridiculous b!tch about the noise harming her baby. My family lives in Roanoke and I remember when this happened.

Medical science is constantly changing and improving... When I had my first child, I was told to always lay him on his stomach at night. By the time I had my third, they said NEVER lay her on her stomach at night. You have to have some maternal instinct and follow that as well as what the doctor says.

I had no problem quitting smoking and drinking while pregnant. If there is some tiny chance that it might be harmful to your baby, then why do it?

Everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health. It should just be common sense that if somthing is bad for you (the mother) that it would also be bad for the baby.

Even if there is only a 5% chance that smoking can harm the baby it just isn't worth the risk.

Nope, sorry, not buyng it... Unless you are a lot older then I am that's BS.. I was there for my first born, the second, third, fourth and fifth.. and EVERY single one of them we were talked to, given pamphlets about the dangers of smoking while pregnant.. low birth weight, possible defects, underdeveloped lungs.. Matter of fact my ex smoked until she was pregnant with the first, and quit under the Doctor's request, and never smoked again.

Now if your kids were born in the 60's I MIGHT believe it.. other then that..

I smoked with my first child, he now has allergies out the waa-zoo and asthma! He was only 6 .lbs 10 ozs. at birth, and they had a horrible time getting him to warm up! Now for my second and third child I quit cold turkey before getting pregnant with kid #2. She had a near perfect apgar and she weighed 8 .lbs 14 ozs. at birth! My 3rd was just as healthy as the second and still is, he weighed 7 .lbs 3 ozs. at birth, he was 3 weeks early, but fine. I totally agree that smoking while pregnant definitely causes problems! My mother smoked with me and I have had asthma and various other respiratory problems all my life because of it, not to mention I was tiny when I was born. Smoking while pregnant is the worst thing you can do to your unborn child! :howdy:
