Smoking In Pregnancy

[FirstBabyEek]

Hey just saw your post! I had gone down to 1 a day so thought if I could do that then why couldn't I just give up? So its been a little while now and its hard but just keeping thinking its all worth it for a healthy baby and should have my first scan soon so that will be so exciting! Thanks ladies xx

My MW actually pulled out a breathaliser type thing yesterday. It measures carbon monoxide in your system. They do it routinely on everyone. My level was ) (I'm a non smoker) but she sais whatever your reading, twice as much poison goes to your baby. I think its a really good thing and hope that MW's all over the uk do this in the near future x

My MWs done this for both pregnancies at booking in. And every time I see her she says 'you're not a smoker so I don't need to lecture you' so she must bring it up with everyone and have a right old nag about it, which is good. And in the waiting room there are loads of posters and information about smoking in pregnancy!
