Yeah, it seems there's just not a workaround for pregnancy that doesn't carry its own risks. Just gotta bite the bullet.....

Theres quite a wonderfull workaround for pregnancy that carries no risks. Instead of biteing the "bullet" have her suck on it.

Theres no way she could get preggo then.

ABW!!! Haven't met your asshole self for ages. Shame you're still alive.

Amongst all the beligerent pricks of this forum I thought Govegan would be the first dick to answer.

If you don't know that doesn't mean the child won't develop a disease through their adulthood or later in their life.

I was born at 7 months and 890 grams because my mom used to smoke, just a particular case, but there are more severe cases I bet, I mean the baby ingests all the 4000 chemicals...... I'm talking large scale here... not about just a few people I or you know....

I don't know a single person who'se child was in any way disabled or ill as a result of their mothers smoking through their pregnancy - and I know quite a few. It was the norm when I was born - my own mother used to smoke and smoked through both the pregnancies (mind you, my brother was born with 6 toes (true)).



maybe I failed in the argument with that bit at the end there.

Snus 'worse than smoking' for infant apnea

Published: 1 Sep 11 12:59 CET

Infants born to mothers who used moist snuff or 'snus' while pregnant are at a greater risk of suffering from apnea than children whose mothers merely smoked during gestation, a new Swedish study shows.

Scientists studied the incidence of apnea, a temporary suspension of breathing, among 610,000 Swedish infants born between 1999 and 2006.

The study revealed that the risk of apnea is 50 percent higher for children of smoking mothers than from children of mothers who neither smoked nor used snuff during pregnancy.

However, in stark contrast,the risk is twice as large for children whose mothers use the smokeless oral tobacco product while pregnant.

Research director Anna Gunnerberck with the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm told the Reutuers news agency, that snuff, which is often considered by many to be less harmful than cigarettes during pregnancy, is not a good option when considering the health of the unborn child.

”It may have a slightly different effect than smoking but it is still not safe during pregnancy,” she said.

Researchers wrote that it is likely that nicotine patches and nicotine gum also increase the risk of apnea in the child and that these products should not be considered an alternative to smoking for expectant mothers.

Apnea in infants can lead to sleep disturbances and make them more vulnerable to infection.

Although it's perfectly normal for everyone to experience occasional pauses in breathing, this unexplained cessation of breathing can become a problem when breathing stops for 20 seconds or longer.

The study is published in the Pediatrics journal.
