Where on earth would it be acceptable for someone to carry on smoking during a pregnancy? I'd love to find a consultant AND a gynae saying that.
Worthing hospital.

I'm sorry, but i am amazed (not about soton, the amount of smokers there is horrendous!)
Smoking during pregnancy carries a horrendously high risk of miscarriage, early term labour, placenta praevia, as well as haemodynamic instabilities in the mum as well as the foetus (not a baby until it makes it's first breath people!) - surely there is hardly anything (if anything) that would be so bad as to risk that?! Heroin addicts are told to come off methadone during pregnancy, and that is far worse than a carcinogenic stick of tar that people think is trendy to set alight and breathe in the toxic fumes
What about pregnant women who are davised by their doctor and gynocologist to carry on smoking as it would be less harmful for the baby??
What should we do about them?
I have seen the effects of excessive drinking during pregnancy (by the mother) and have to say that it was pretty bad, it left the child with brain damage...it has to be said that the mother was an alcoholic and the children (twins) were taken away by social services soon after their birth.
bag can you get hold of any weed??!!
If she was pregnant why was she smoking? :thud:
