I went to a dance recital last night for my youngest daughter. I had to go out and get something from the car at one point and when I walked outside there were people standing around visiting and smoking. As I walked back inside I noticed this one woman in particular. She was late 20's I'd guess and looked to be at least 6 months pregnant. She was far enough along that there was no doubt that she was with child. Anyways she was standing there with everyone else smoking away. My initial impression was that she was very selfish and irresponsible to be smoking while carrying a child inside her. What do you think about women who smoke or drink while pregnant? Is this a big no no in your opinion?

Stupid question. No logical person approves of drinking and smoking while pregnant. The women who do it, do it because they are addicted and/or selfish.

Think that it is a BIG scare tactic.
My mother smoked during all 4 of hers and we all come out ok.
My wife didn't smoke in her two and they both came out ok.
Can't tell a difference except my 2 think they are smarter than me, so maybe it was my mothers "selfish, irresponsible" behavior.

The risks are very real. If a pregnant woman is smoking during pregnancy, she is either ignorant or selfish.
The evidence against drinking while pregnant is more complex, but generally shows that more than a modest intake of alcohol, and the frequency of usage, can have both have negative effects on an unborn child.
I really can't understand how a mother who already has a child can be selfish enough to partake of these activities.

A friend of mines girlfriend smoke while she was pregnant. Baby weighed 1 pound 2 ounces at birth. She amazingly survived and is a happy kid but she's going to be in the slow classes when she starts school. She's over two and can't speak yet
