Fiance smoking – pregnant – opinions?

I stopped the moment I found out I was pregnant – which yes, I know I entirely should have and it is much more important for the mother to stop than the father.

He does pretty good at keeping the smoke away from me. Sometimes he doesnt realize I am around and I get on to him about it and he apologizes and gets away.

I have begged and begged him to stop smoking asap. I finally just said (when I was almost 4 months pregnant) you know what – smoke all you want now but promise me when baby comes you will be done – that was in 6 months. Now baby will be here in 4 months and he is smoking more than ever!

I know that he wont smoke around the baby but that isnt the point. The smell – all over his face and hands, in his clothes – I dont want my newborn breathing that! Our OB AND my fiances cousin who is also a dr both told us that it is crucial to our childs health when it is born to not smoke around him, keep the smell of smoke on his body away from him that even that could cause asthma and respitory problems.

Now when I ask him (which is rare these days bc I get so frustrated) if he is going to quit by the time baby comes he just gets irritated like I am asking for too much and says now that he doesnt even know if he will have quit by then. He will have had almost a year by the time baby gets here. I was a smoker just like him when we got pregnant – I stopped bc I had to, bc I wanted to be a good parent to my child in utero, and until the baby is walking and doesnt require AS MUCH help – I still wont smoke. But I guess I am willing to make more sacrifices than him. Not to mention that we were trying for a child and he said as soon as we got pregnant that he would quit – he fell back on that promise too, obviously.

Do I have a right to be mad? He says that you cant force someone (which I know is true) but I forced myself to and he can too. He says you have to ready to quit (his mom tells me the same thing) and I understand that, but I wasnt ready to quit when we got pregnant -but I knew I needed too… I just feel lied to and hurt through this issue..

HELP!!!! how do i get my PREGNANT bestfriend to stop SMOKING?

My friend is 6 months pregnant now and she smokes cigarettes, pot and black and milds. I have tried several times to get her to stop the last time i confronted her about it we got into an argument… She claims that her baby is gonna be ok because her grandma smoked with all 9 children and they all came out just fine. Which by the way is not true i met most of them…. Some i can’t even understand when they speak and most of them are in prison or on the streets selling weed. I have stressed and cried over this i feel so sorry for the baby any advice on what i should do????

Also – we are to be married VERY soon.. sometimes I feel like saying I dont even want to marry you bc of this. He has lied and broken promises…
Yes, he smokes outside. We always have!
His new thing is “I dont want to quit. I know I dont need to smoke but I want to. I like it.”

Wow….right?

can you have a miscarriage if you quit smoking when you find out your pregnant?

When I found out I was pregnant i was 4W4D prego. I stopped smoking immediatly. A week later i had bleeding which subsided and the baby was still okay. Then at 9 weeks I had more bleeding and i lost the baby. could it be because i quit cold turkey? Alot of people say its good to gradualy quit, and i shouldn’t have quit cold turkey, but thats what the doctor told me to do. I was smoking close to 1 pack a day for about 4 years. help plz!?!

How can I just convince her to smoke outside? My husband and I can literally not afford to move at all! There is no one we can stay with and here is the only place we can be!! HELP!

How do i get my pregnant gf to stop Smoking?

Me and my gf have just found out were having a baby (only last tuesday) and were both over the moon. The only thing is my gf continues to smoke, and she finks this is ok as all her family have done it it the past and never had no problems ( It was respectable in the 80`s… Lol).

Iv talked to her about it and she has agreed to speke to the doctor about getting help quiting this wednesday, when she has her apointment. I just dont fink she has the will power to do it.

What else can i do to try and get her to stop ?
