This really upsets me, because my mum smoked while she was pregnant with me, and I was delivered early and very underweight. My whole life I’ve felt ‘stupid’, like my brain wouldn’t function in the way that I wanted and needed it to. It really fucking makes me cry that someone else’s selfish actions could of affected me. I’m 33 now and I never became a smoker, I’m disgusted by it.

What you said about getting through the craving helps so much. I felt like I’d be going through a craving forever but knowing each time it only lasts a few minutes makes me feel relieved and I feel will help to keep in mind during the craving. Thank you

My mom smoked the whole time she was pregnant with me and now i'm going to the doctor because i have bad learning problems, bad memory etc. I'm not saying that the smoking caused this but it could be an explanation

I haven't smoked at all since 1 wk after I found out I was pregnant. But I do miss smoking a cigarette once in a while. Even yesterday I wanted to go for one. Good thing it's not frequent. I'm 31 wks now and wonder if after having baby, I would get back into smoking since I enjoyed it more than craving for it. I can go on without smoking, it's not a problem. But I enjoy smoking so that's a problem. We'll see how it goes.

Can it stunt the child’s growth during puberty

[moxiebbx]

Idk if this is the cause but my dad is 6’3 and my mom is 5’6 which both are significantly taller then the average height for each gender so you would think I would be tall but nope so far my whole life I’ve always been one of the shortest I’m one of the oldest in my grade but yet one of the shortest I’m 15 and just hit puberty and when I first turn 14 and I am currently only 5’6 as I said earlier I don’t know if it has anything to do with it but my mom did smoke and drink while she was pregnant with me I was also born a month early

I want that the color of the eyes of my future child should not be black, it should be different, there are more black eyes in India, is it possible in some way Please if anyone knows, then definitely tell how the color of the child's eye can be different from black color. 😻🤗
