Re: Pregnant Women...

I totally understand your amazement. I too have seen what you are talking about. You'd think that in this day and age with the information and medical knowledge we have that people wouldn't do what they do, but no. My daughters friend throughout her entire pregnancy smoked and claimed it didn't bother her at all.
Her baby weighed 4lbs.
I'm against smoking. Mainly because of what it did to me and because my kids have asthma. My parents died young from smoking. And I don't care what anyone says, if you are exposed to enough of second hand smoke you will suffer from it.
Why hurt children and drag them down? Why claim that it doesn't hurt them? It's not hurting me! Yet they are in the doctors office getting tubes put in their ears and getting inhalers for their asthma. And being treated for bronchitis. But the smoke isn't bothering them. She's constantly out of breath too. Go figure. And the baby is always sick with ear infections.
Leaves you to wonder right? When do they learn? And when does it stop?
