So I have been dipping for years. When I found out I was pregnant and I told my obgyn and midwife that I dont smoke but I dip they said just dont smoke. But when I read stuff online it says it is bad for the baby. But my obgyn and midwife would have told me to stop if it would hurt the baby right? Because the dip doesnt get to the baby unless I swallow it

Im sorry imma judge alil here but ewwwwww XD gross! ... anyways, i dont think you should dip due to its bad for you = bad for baby... just cause you dont swallow it dont mean it doesnt get in your system = into babys system

I agree ^^ but if your obgyn says it's fine then go for it lol

Its not as bad as smoking less nicotine is going to the baby but its still not the best.

[Pookey555]

Thanks everyone lol. And its a southern thing. Judge all you want. Doesnt hurt my feelings haha. But I have been dipping still and the baby is healthy so im guessing everything is ok

[saramay2014]

Its just personal preference :) <3 i know this girl who use to dip and she got preggers... not sure if she quit or not but she probibly didnt n her baby is just fine

Well it does contain nicotine and other harmful chemicals. If I were you I would stop for the sake of my baby but that's your decision.

[janellemassy]

If the nicotine is gettn into ur system its gettn into the babys system the nicotine is just as bad as the smoke. Babies can come out addicted to things especially nicotine. Nicotine is a cancer causing agent

What is dipping?!?!

[JamieNVance]

Dipping is tabacco chew.

The nicotine is getting into your blood stream and can be a higher concentration than even cigarettes. The nicotine can be harmful to your baby. It increases several different things such as abnormalities, heart defects etc. But....It is better than smoking because you aren't getting the 4000 additional chemicals that come with cigarettes. Tmits best to quit altogether to reduce any risk tho. And I'm not judging at all....trust me. I smoked cigarettes when I found out I was pregnant. It took me till I was 18 weeks to quit smoking cigarettes. I went to the patch and to the gum which is like chewing BUT I still quit that because of the added risks it posed to the baby. Try and quit....and good luck hun

So the way I see it is when you chew or dip, the little microglass pieces are cutting up your lip, making it easier for the nicotine to get into your blood stream. Therefore, the nicotine is getting to baby.

But if baby is healthy and you don't want to quit, then by all means go for it. No judgment here. I mean My mom smoked all 4 pregnancies and we turned out just fine. Lol.
