[Kay1987]

i know, i know some ppl find it difficult to stop but i find it hard 2 understand how u can drink and smoke so heavily through a pregnancy knowing what it can do. x

 

[Piglet's Mama]

My Mum rang to say it was on but I cannot stand that sort of sh1te... winds me up that so many women (some very lovely ones on PF in particular) are struggling to get PG and these idiots are smoking and drinking and blah blah woe is me - NO THANKS!

 

[pinkymum]

[charliebear]

OMG!! Did you see the preview for next week? That girl want a good slap, she thinks her smoking means the baby's heart has to work harder meaning a stronger heart

 

[Constantstar]

All I gotta say was that smoker- 20 a day- disgusting! And she didn't even have the balls to finnish the documentary as she clearly kept smoking like a chimney. Horrid woman

 

[Lulu_Laroo]

Oh I missed it. Sounds like that could be a good thing though! Doesn't sound too nice. x

You just wouldn't go on tv and admit that publicly would you?

 

[clairebear22]

I'm glad I missed it!! x

 

[MrsR]

I didn't watch it because I know I'd get upset those poor babies! And the awful thing is, if the baby is alright when born then they'll carry on with everything next time too but sometimes the effects are long term effects and can't be seen immediatly!

I wonder what goes through the minds of the people that took part! You just wouldn't do these things let alone go on national tv and tell the country! Can they really be so uneducated in the effects of alcohol and smoking on an unborn baby?!

 

[Chookette]

To be honest it was the only thing that kept my OH and I from going insane when we had trouble getting pregnant. MY OH would keep saying that if these people who, do drugs, smoke and drink can get pregnant and have healthy babies then we can even though we don't do any of these except the drinking one until I got pregnant.

It really upsets me to see it.... so glad I missed it.

I notice your comments are about the smoker and drinker/smoker not the overweight girl...
I'm 38yrs old currently pregnant with my 2nd and have a BMI of 36, so on my initial checkup with the doctor that was the (only) box that got ticked for 'risks' and therefore I have to also see a consultant as well as the midwife (as I did for my 1st pregnancy).
Despite my watching what I eat (dietician said there wasn't anything she could recommend - I even took a diet & nutrition course) and with moderate exercise (and a very active 3.5yr old) I have great difficulty losing the excess weight. My sedetary job (full time) and my PCOS doesn't help but I'm not gorging on takeaways, snacks and chocolate which these type of programmes always seem to imply overweight people are! I've never smoked and prior to falling pregnant I hardly drank (seriously maybe a bottle of beer or a glass a wine every few months). I get annoyed when on taking my blood pressure and other tests such as the glucose tolerance of the surprise expressed by doctors/nurses etc each time when it's found to be normal/very good (bp 110/70 last check). I'm 30wks tomorrow still fitting my pre-pregnancy clothes (actually lost a bit of weight) and the only complication is that I have SPD this time as I did with my last pregnancy which makes labour extra fun which last time included 4 days of contractions with minimal sleep and lots of walking etc so how's that for stamina - ANOTHER thing that was commented on in last nights programme. Plus SPD means some of the exercises shown last night i.e. squats are a no-no :/
I really wonder what the midwife they showed on the programme would have to recommend because I do want to lose weight and be healthier, but already think the NHS has given up trying to help me i.e. I've exhaused all their usual advice/recommendations AND I really don't want to go on medication OR have a gastric bypass.

I don't smoke and barely drink but the way I see it 9 months is such a 'dot' in the grand scale of things so why not at least try to give up the things that may harm your child. 9 months drags while you're going through it but it's really such a short space of time to give something up! x

 

[Squeakz]

well we had to take J to hospital a little while ago and we walked out and there was a girl outside the maternity uniit, quit pregnant, bent double clutching her stoimach chuffing away on a fag! i was so disgusted........
