My mom did not provide me with that information i have looked it up aswell, and my doctor told me that. I wouldnt go Judging other peoples medical knowledge when you are the one who wont even quit for your baby. Cutting down should lead to quitting.
I feel sorry for you when your baby is born, it will be going through withdrawls from nicotine and some babies bodies cant handle that and it has fatal results. I hope this does not happen to you, cause i would hate that happening to me when mine is born, thats why i have taken every step, and if you want books with studies that show what smoking does i will give them to you, i think you would have a change of heart.

Ive already aquired medical text books from my gf who is a psych nurse,im currently reading a book on developmental disorders in children pre and post natal and about the effects that drug and alcohol abuse(including nicotine) has on the fetus.Ive read alot of things about the harm that smoking CAN do,and alot of it isnt accurate,for example the ADD/ADHD and smoking while pregnant connection.For one add/and adhd can only be passed down through the fathers gene,it is not brought about by chemical influence.Its genetic.

Anyways,yes...im pregnant and yes I smoke 3-4 ciggs a day(if at all)no,you might not agree with that and thats okay.But,this is my decision...my choice,not any of yours.And although you disagree with my decision it should be respected non the less.And if you want to call me selfish go right ahead,but I dont see it that way.If i truely were selfish I would have had an abortion.

And Aki,yes smoking can cause intellectual growth issues...however children that live just above and below the poverty line are also subject to stunted intellectual growth,as opposed to children that are mid-upper class.Developmental issues and intellectual growth can be affected not only by drugs but also social class,and there are studies that back that as well.However,the vast majority of behavioural disorders are genetic and are not usually a result of drug abuse/dependancy...HOWEVER,behavioural disorders can also be brought on by synthetic doctor prescribed medical drugs.And lets not forget amniosenthesis&autisim.

anyways,thats all Ive got to say about that.

[Aki]

sounds like you've been doing your research godessa and you're a smart lady...but why increase the chances??

[Prissypants]

Wake up at 6:30
Put in my contacts, do my hair and put on my suit.
Take my vitamins, eat some quick breaky...usually some fruit.
Make my salad for lunch.
Out the door by 6:48 to 7:00.

[PwInCeSs]

why would you want to risk hurting your baby though, thats all i dont get

and i didnt say anything about add/adhd
i kno that can be genetic, never said smoking cause it.

Altho Drugs and alcohol have been said to cause it aswell..

[diva]

has on the fetus.Ive read alot of things about the harm that smoking CAN do,and alot of it isnt accurate,for example the ADD/ADHD and smoking while pregnant connection.For one add/and adhd can only be passed down through the fathers gene,it is not brought about by chemical influence.Its genetic.

yeah, i pretty much stopped reading your bullshit after i read this last paragraph.

edit: i have a book called journeys through ADDhulthood sitting on my desk right now. amazon.com it. your information is false. i feel sorry for your unborn child. i really do.

I am not a smoker..and in no way supporting substance use of any kind during pregnancy.. But unless you quit smoking within days of your pregnancy it could be almost as harmful to quit as it would be to continue. Quitting smoking leaves you and your baby in stress and can cause issues during the first couple months..

My mother, all of my aunts, my sisters, my friends mothers..have all smoked during pregnancy and we all turned out ok. I think its wrong to get down someones back because they continue to smoke.. Its there decision and should be respected. You dont know how hard it might be for that person to quit..and really is it anyones business? I dont agree with it..but I choose to keep my mouth shut...

ABOUT THAT MORNING ROUTINE

I wake up (either 6:45 or 9:45! depending on schedule)
get ready
go to work

=/

[PwInCeSs]

My birth mother smoked threw pregnancy i was born pre mature and with colic all linked to smoking....
My friends baby had to be in the hospital for 13 days cause it had such bad withdrawls from nicotine that it could barely handle it
There are cases where everything is OK
But there are those that are lethal...
I was a smoker i quit nothing has happend to my baby to hurt my pregnancy because of me Quitting, i quit back in November.
I am just saying i dont think its worth the risk
And actually if you quit within days of the pregnancy that can harm the baby, you are supposed to slowly cutback till you are off them, Quitting cold turkey can be bad yes, quitting smoking is not.

[SquiLa]

Back to the issue of the thread:

-Radio alarm at 7:15am. (wanna wake up but I know I can push it - 7:30 to 8 while radio is playing is when I have the most dreams (that i remember))
- Radio alarm clicks back off at 8am. (now I know I gotta boot it!)
- Get cereal; I love my cereal!
- Feed my albino pet rat Claudiuz cereal too. (he waits on his porch)
- Turn on Computer. Check email, do whatever else I do on comp.
- Shower: wash hair, all over, etc. Quick blow dry. Contacts.
- Get dressed in my office attire.
- Grab some snacks from the fridge.
- Pack my day bag.
- 7 minute walk to work.
- Get to the office around 9 am (give or take 10 mins.)

quitting suddenly is bad. but it's better for a baby to be exposed to as little nicotine as possible while in utero.

cause isssues during the first couple of months

what about the issues a baby who's withdrawing from nicotine faces?

My mother, all of my aunts, my sisters, my friends mothers..have all smoked during pregnancy and we all turned out ok. I think its wrong to get down someones back because they continue to smoke.. Its there decision and should be respected. You dont know how hard it might be for that person to quit..and really is it anyones business? I dont agree with it..but I choose to keep my mouth shut...

why should her decision be respected? from what she's posted so far (the most recent being about add/adhd only being passed on through the father's genes), she's getting fucked up information from unreliable sources. what about her baby's right to be born with the best possible chances in this world?

ps. my mom smoked when she was pregnant with me as well. she didn't with my brother and sister and they're GIANTS compared to me. heh <-- some levity for y'all.

I definately agree that smoking while pregnant is horrible and trying to quit is the best thing to do. I just dont think people should be bitched out on a message board for decisions they make..wrong or right. (Even if that person is top of the 'fnk bitch list') It's like people who choose to smoke dope or dabble with drugs while they have a child at home..its not right..but who are we to get involved.

[PwInCeSs]

It's actualy good for you NOT to eat alot in the morning! Im currently trying out a cleansing diet and getting my digestion system back into shape. The best thing for your stomach in the morning is hot water and lime juice or grape fruit juice. This is because for one your digestive system is just waking up so you send it into shock if you eat too much all of a sudden. Second having foods in the morning that can digest easly and dont use up all your digestive juices, let the digestive juices last longer and work better for when lunch and dinner come around :)
Therefore in the long run your stomach isnt working so hard and doesnt drain your energy so much... meaning ive been able to last the passed weeks with out the need of caffine :D

sweetheart both my sister,father,and niece are adhd.Ive been reading up on behavioural disorders since i was 8 years old!Ill go over my material and see if anything ive said is infact not accurate but im having my doubts.

[thechix0r]

I have a different routine for almost everyday, because of my inconsistent schedule for school (yay SFU)

Monday/Wednesday/Friday
Wake up 7 (usually turns into about 7:15)
Shower till 7:30 or so
Make, teeth, hair, fashion statements (on Wednesdays I wear pink ;))
Get books together for class till about (all of above done by 7:45 or so)
Go on msn for about 5 mins
Go to Dining hall for breakfast and eat till about 8:10/8:15
Book it to he AQ for geography first thing in the morning

Tuesdays
Up at 6:30, but really up at 7:00
Have a shower and get all ballet stuff together
Breakfast till 7:45
Get my ass on the bus for 7:45
Get to North Van by 8:50
Ballet 9 - 10:00 am
Get ass on bus again for 10:15 and bus my ass back to the hill for my class at 11:30 (it takes about an hour and a bit to get from North Van to SFU and vice versa)

Thursday
Wake up at 8:30/9:00 am
Shower, hair, make up and msn till about 9:45
Breakfast till 10:15
Run my ass to the AQ for my one and only tutorial on Thursday (same with Monday)

Yeah, I don't get much time to sleep in so I feel for those who have to get up early and don't get to get some zzz. As for Jen E 03, I couldn't go that everyday... I would need more substance to my life than sleep, tanning and food...

When it comes to acuracy on facts about ppl with 'special needs'... I dont think any fact can be 100% There are the very few though.

There are several diffrent types of ADHD and can all react defferently. There are so many different veiws and studys done. Alot of ppl are even miss diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and I beleive that there are many different possible links or cuases of it.

ADHD has such a broad spectrum, alot of ppl with autism are also diagnosed with it as well. From alot of the books and info Ive gathered in school and work shops nothing was really set in stone about ppl with ADHD. There are alot of common personalitys and behaviours, but everyone is soo differnet.

Trying to prove whos right or wrong on the subject is like trying to prove theres a heaven. Theres a reason why ADHD/ADD are apart of the 'special needs' umbrella.

well and the interesting thing about add/adhd is that it usually comes along with one or more extra behavioural disorders.I mean my sis for example has odd as well as another disorder whos name I cant remember.Mot other people I know who have been diagnosed w/adhd have also been diagnosed with a slew of other behavioural disorders.

With that said it makes it fucking tricky to identify them and address accordingly.But I guess thats the same for pretty much any disorder be it depression or ocd.

Hey Godessa... maybe you need to just shut it and accept your criticism? As mean as that sounds I mean it in the nicest possible way. The fact is that smoking during a pregnancy can have long term effects on your child. You should quit arguing the opposite and accept it. Facts are facts and no amount of you cussing people out is going to change those facts.

That being said, I applaud your effort to at least cut down. That's the first step right? You've obviously acknowledged it's bad or else you wouldn't have cut down in the first place. Now what I don't understand is why you're not using this opportunity to cut down more and stop? Aside from the fact that it's MUCH healthier for your baby it's also much healthier for you! Once this child is born you're going to have a whole new run of bills and such to take care of... money that smoking can eat up. If you really take a look at it there are plenty of reasons to quit.

Answer this... When this child is born are you planning to smoke around him/her? I would hope that your answer would be no given the facts we have about the dangers of second hand smoke. If it is no then how can you justify filiing it's body with killing chemcials now?

Like I said, facts are facts. you can argue them all you like but they remain the same. I'm not going to say quitting is easy. I'm sure its difficult as hell. I just think you should look at it from more than just the 'defensive' angle.... granted that may be tough too the way everyone jumped on you.

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours and with the birth of your child. I truly hope your baby ends up as healthy as you think it will.
