Come on guys!

I'm reading a lot of post about smoking while pregnant and alot of people have a negative mindset on it. Can't say that I blame them but I think we should focus on supporting each other and not bashing one another. We get enough of that from the Un - pregnant people! Lol but seriously! I kmow how serious some people take that topic and how nonchalant others are about it. Also if you don't want a truthful response I don't think you should post the question! I'm justlooking for support from other women and II like learning from you guys! So please let's just be nice! :)

@Morg08 I can take criticism and not take it personally. I've accepted how harsh and judgmental people can be, but I have also learned to love them all because I would like to have the same in return during my trials. I thank you for your honesty and positivity. That's what we should all be here for.

I know what you're saying that's why i said I wouldn't ask a question that I didn't want any honest opinion to. But calling her dumb and stupid is just rude. How do we know she's not suicidal? People take things how they want to but we don't want to be ignorant. There is a way to say everything. Like i said before I don't do drugs so I don't have this problem and I like honest opinions. It doesn't bother me

Nothing is offensive to me because I don't do drugs. But if i did and i wanted honest opinions like the ones that are being given then i wouldn't be upset. I gave my input but like I say i can't speak from experience with weed but i can with other things.

Well, many od women here have really bad experiences with some kind of drugs, not only meds. Maybe for many of You is offensive but usually they want to warn other preggies, and according to their stories when they see post question like "can I drink one beer per day?" they just want to warn, react.

This is an app full of hormonal women, no one is going to ignore something haha. But people have to realize posting stuff like that is going to get negative remarks.

You guys are right! It doesn't bother me, but I  just want us to all be stress free! And to think about it, none of us will probably ever see each other in person so there's no point in being rude and stuff ya know? But hey people are who they are and I am who I am. If someone asked my opinion, I would give it to them honestly. The way they take it is up to them! But what I won't do Is try to force my beliefs down someone else's throat

I agree with jnicpowers. We all need to be more supportive and as informative as we can. But sadly, there are few open minded people on tgus forum willing to take that challenge. Best of luck to you ladies!

Understandable! I can't speak on smoking because I never was a big fan of it. But I can speak on drinking and popping pills. Not something I'm proud of but I definitely stopped when I found out I was pregnant four years ago
