as you know im reading loads of books lately........... I was curious if your DH while you were trying to conceive, smoked cigarettes or cigars????

I called my DR to ask if this is problematic but she wont be in till tomorrow night. I read both partners should not smoke and should stop two months prior... those of you who gave birth already to your healthy little ones did any of your husbands smoke regularly or Occassionally? DH only smokes usually none to one or two cigars a week and I was curious if I should MAKE him stop

eta: THOSE ttc as well if any of their DH occassionally smoke at all

I read quite a bit myself to help tie me over until we were both ready to ttc.

My Dh does not smoke, but I've read the same concerns about drinking. My Dh will drink a few beers once a week, and I began to worry about it a little.

I decided that I wouldn't obsess over it, and bought him some multivitamin to make me feel a little better. If we find that we're having trouble conceiving, then I might work on him.

I wouldn't make an issue over a few cigars a week, and just try to have fun trying

Steve smokes like a chimney and we got pregnant on our first try. He never smoked near me when I was preggo. He goes outside to smoke, he also never smokes anywhere near Damien I wish he would quit

Same here!!! There was no problems w/ Patrick!!

My husband smokes ALOT and I got on him to cut down which he didn't do and we got pregnant without any problem as you already know.

Good luck Tammy!!!!!!!!!!!

Like Stacey, Joe smoked the whole pregnancy (and on the way to the hospital) and still smokes. He doesn't smoke in the house -- he goes outside -- and he doesn't smoke around Gianna either.

So Tammy in answer to your question, in my case, it didn't affect the baby at all -- she was/is perfectly healthy!

I have read and do know (from some of my friends who this happened to) that if someone smokes around the baby, they can end up with asthma. But nobody should EVER smoke around a baby in my opinion.
