A Pregnant Woman, Smoking !

Last night, when the jeepney I was riding, stopped for a passenger to alight, I saw a very pregnant woman smoking by the sidewalk beside the vendor that sells cigarettes. I noticed she was trying to hide her smoking. Hmm, maybe she’s hiding from her husband. Anyway, we all know that smoking is bad to our health. How much more when you are pregnant, right? It can increase the risks of fatal complications to both the mother and the baby. I hope , the woman’s child will not get so affected by her smoking while she was pregnant with the baby. I can only sigh, with the sad sight, I saw last night. Note: Picture is from google

This is the worst thing a pregnant woman do for her baby. She is an irresponsible individual.

I absolutely agree. And to think that her stomach is already so big already.

@Shavkat Yes, i thought of that too - she.might have an abnormal child. Poor child, it's caused by the irresponsibility of her mother.

@SIMPLYD It's too bad for her. Bad karma will strike eventually in the future. She might have an abnormal child.

maybe the pregnant lady is smoking as a mechanism to get rid of the life growing inside her. sometimes if we look into the psychological side, the woman cannot accept the fact that she will be a mother soon.

But why would she do it when her stomach is so big already. I think in a month or for how many days more she will be giving birth the way how big her stomach is.

It's very bad for the baby, most of the time babies of smoking mothers have birth defects. Here now you can denounce a woman who smokes while pregnant and even if she smokes in a house where there are young kids.

I totally agree. It could really affect the baby and may give him/her a defect. When that happens she has no one to blame but herself.

@SIMPLYD All women who smoked and then complain because their babies were born with problems should blame themselves.

That's a shame that the woman is continuing to smoke while she is pregnant. Hopefully maybe she only has one a day.

Indeed. Even if it is once a day, it will still affect the health of her baby in one way or another.

Precisely. At first i didn't see that she is pregnant because the sidewalk was not so well lighted and her back was what was facing us. But when she was in her sideview i saw that she's already pregnant.

The way she is doing it, presuming that even if it is only once a day, it will still affect her baby's health and they can be both at risk when she will be giving birth to her already.

@SIMPLYD Once or twice no difference. Bad habit is bad habit. It is worse if a pregnant women is doing it. Mother is person who is responsible for care of her child. She is playing with health of her unborn child.

Surely, she know that it is bad for the baby and even to her. She's old enough to know that. She's just selfish. She only thinks of her desire to smoke.

@SIMPLYD I do not understand why a woman that is pregnant would risk her baby's life by smoking. I also do not understand also why women when they are pregnant drink.

@Hannihar Yes, it's bad for her and her baby actually. Her baby can be born with defect if she is doing that since she became pregnant with her. On the first place, if she cannot curb her desire to smoke, she should have gotten pregnant.

I have a friend who also smoke. One time I ask her why she can't get rid of smoking. She said smoking makes her relieve from all stress she's feeling. Maybe, it's just the same for the woman. But the fact that she is pregnant makes it dangerous.

I think smoking has taken its toll on both her and the baby' health.I doubt if she will fulfil her role as a mother after giving birth to the baby.

And this is very much taken up in lectures , documentary and even on TV talks. So, every mother knows about it.
