No your not a bad mother for not walkin away they are idiotic selfish people smoking around a pregnant woman. They should have more respect than to smoke near you.

Your baby is fine. I smoke and all my babies were fine. But since you don't smoke in the future I would move away from those who are. Some believe there is a risk in it and with you not smoking you should try not to expose your baby. It's something you can provide for your baby and it is a wonderful thing. Good luck and don't worry about past mishaps but use more caution in the future.

Don't be so worried cause I've been in sticky situations at work where people were literally just blowing the smoke in my face but I just cut the convo short and walk a away or cover my nose & mouth with my hands to give em a hint  without seeming mean. And I was breathing in tar from the roof being redone. And I made sure that I went to the Dr but everything's fine. It's just risky though.

You're not a bad mom, it sounds like you might not have known what to do. Always walk away from smoke.  Avoid it at all costs. Second Hand smoke is bad for you and your baby. Next time you'll know what to do:)

No you are not a bad mother don't beat yourself up about it. Next time just excuse yourself until whoever is smoking is done.

Pregnant or not, smoking and second hand smoke isn't good for you & makes you proned to diseases. And your baby can be born asthmatic (with asthma) because of 2nd hand smoke so stay away please.

Second hand smoke is dangerous but nothing you can do now.  In future if people are smoking walk away until  they are finished. They shouldn't smoke beside you or indoors with you
You should be far enough away you can't smell it.
