My apartment

Ok so iv never smoked in my life never even really been around it so when people smoke it makes me feel sick even b4 I was pregnant.
The past few days my neighbors have need smoking in their apartment and my whole apartment reeks of smoke. It's kinda hard for me to breathe.  I woke up with a nose bleed and I keep throwing up.

.true enouqh i myself was a smoker &n have been but i have also stopped, if its not stated in the lease that the apartment complex is non-smokinq or that yu cant smoke (same thinq) then there os nothin yu can do about the people who choose to &n pay their rent just like yu...the best thinq yu can do is break yur lease &n move out because nothin is qonna chanqe just for one person weather yur preqnant or not especially if it wasnt already a rule when everyone siqned the lease, only thinq yu can dois look oit for the healh &n wwell-beinq of yur own child&n yourself if yu chosr to move there.

You can actually break your lease. Present a will thought out arguement on the grounds that your health and your baby's life is at steak and either they move you or you leave. Maybe print out papers that support 2nd have smoke being bad or bring medical report from doctor saying you need to move

My downstairs neighbors do the same thing, plus weed on top of that comes through our pipes. The weed i can handle cigarette smoke i cant. Luckly they dont chain smoke. If anything im having a problem with new noisy neighbors... i started putting plugs over the drains in the bathroom and kitchen. It seems to help. Or you can retaliate like i did, and spray Lysol or pour bleach or something down the drains lol

I was told 2nd hand Cigarette smoke is more dangerous for the baby than 1st hand. I will admit before I had my baby I was partying every weekend and I wouldn't ever smoke or drink during my pregnancy but I was around a lot of 2nd hand smoke and my placenta started shutting down and my doctor told it was causes from cigarette smoke. My baby stopped growing at 30 weeks and I was in the hospital on constant monitors until 36 weeks when I had a 4lb 9oz baby girl she was NICU for a week and stayed in the hospital 3 weeks. Just letting you know how serious it can be I would talk to your doctor as well.

I would be so mad at my neighbors if I were you. I guess you could always try to explain the situation but some people are just jerks who don't care:/ im sorry that sounds horrible, I hope it works out:/
