No I didn't smoke at all. I just feel that those women who continuously smoke even though they are pregnant. These woman I feel are not deserving to have a child. As early as now they are showing that they are irresponsible. Its hard to believe that they are capable of loving their child because when you know you have a life inside of you and you know that life is depending on you for his dear life and you disregard the risks by smoking then I don't know how much more afflictions would that mother bring the child.

I have never smoked before.So i would have to say no with my pregnancies.On the other hand I have an aunt who smokes bad and smoked while she was pregnant.I really do not think women should smoke or drink while they are pregnant because it cause birth defects to the baby.

No I had smoked for 3 years.As soon as I found I was pregnant with my little boy I quit cold turkey.I loved him to much to let him suffer for my bad habits.

no, I did not smoke during any of my pregnancies. Which was really easy for me to accomplish, as I am not a smoker.
My mother smoked all during the pregnancy with my brother - but when pregnant for me there were complications and she took it upon herself to quit for the duration. At the time there was no thought about smoking being dangerous to a growing fetus, a pregnancy, or the mother. she just figured it could not help the terrible situation any. She started up again right after I was born.
My brother has always tended to be one of substance dependency and I have never been. I do not know if there is any correlation between mom's smoking with him and not with me or not - but I would find it interesting research matter.

I am not a smoker so No I didn't smoke when pregnant. But I was really mad at a friend of mine one night she was having a party and she had two pregnant friends there. I didn't know them they were people from her work and she was letting them drink. Now I know that if your going to smoke and drink than that is your choice but she said that she couldn't say something to them. If It were my house I would have said that you can drink on your own time if that's what you want to do but I don't think that pregnant women should be drinking and you will not do it at my house. Just my opinion.

I was not smoking never and of course special when i was pregnant even i was a bad smoking i should stop this.
But i had a co-worker which was smoking like she wasn't pregnant almost two pacs per day and she born a good baby..very sane...
...but this is a crazy example i will never agree with this.

I am not yet a mom, however my mom did smoke with me and one of my brothers, We were both bormn healthy and in good condition. Then next pregnancy she quit smoking and the baby was preborn and underweight. HE is fine today, and I am sure that it is a coincident since we all know that smoking is not good for you, or the baby inside you.
