This is Tamlou revising my ?. Would hoodia, colon cleansing, drinking & smoking affecting my pregnancy? This is what I know thus far: I am 35 years old and 1 child, 2 abortions and 2 miscarriages. I believe that I may be pregnant; however, I have taken a pregnancy test from the dollar store that was negative. I am 7 days late but am experiencing tinder breast and nausea. I am having the same symptoms that I had the last time that I was pregnant. I have been drinking, smoking, taking hoodia and colon cleansers on a daily basis. What should I do if I am pregnant? If I am pregnancy, I want my baby.
Maybe you should try getting a pregnancy test from somewhere else other than a dollar store, there's a reason it's a dollar. Drinking and smoking can cause birth defects in the baby, I would recommend you make sure your not pregnant before you drink some of the good stuff.
I answered you in your other thread but i will say that i like the way you worded this one better. if im not mistaken hoodia is an appetite curber and i am confused bc i didnt think women had colons. and honestly if i were you i would stop it all until i knew for sure bc as i said before the abortions increase the likelyhood of miscarriage and you dont want to lose a baby that you want to keep. also with the previous miscarriages and the fact that you are older you deffinantly want to bee extra careful until you get the ok from the dr. I deffinantly know that the drinking and smoking have to go but im not an expert so i dont know about the others. i do know they told me no laxatives bc it can cause me to put strain on my uterus.
like i said im not a dr but i am pregnant and i do know what the 50 pages my doctor gave me on medicine does and donts says. i would advise stopping anything questionable until the dr says its ok. i know the abortion info bc i had to do a paper on them. it was a cruel joke by a proffessor that knew i was pregnant and wanted to know if his youngest student would do a paper on a topic that literally makes her puke doing the research. ( i swear the baby knew what i was reading).
Excuse me!! Everyone has a colon, it is part of our digestive tract, intestinal tract to be exact.

This is actually incorrect information. Neither smoking nor drinking will cause birth defects. But can cause some ailments such as asthma just to name one.
Whether or not you are pregnant you need to QUIT drinking and/or smoking until you find out for sure.
It won't cause birth defects, but can cause low birth weight, premature birth, etc.

Well sorry. When I mean birth defects I mean something that shouldn't happen, happens to the baby.
Birth defects are defined an a physical anomoly to the baby, such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, congenital heart defects, etc.
Smoking may cause asthma....drinking may cause withdrawals, or FAS...typically they are low birth weight, born prematurely. But as birth defects, nope.
i was told that they can cause problems in neural tube development by my doctor. i dont do either but my step mom is while she is pregnant and i was concerned so i asked. it may be a difference in doctors oppinions? i know i made myself look stupid bc i didnt know that i had a colon bc i am not a nurse by any means and cant even look at blood. im an accountant bc i dont know my anatomy i know nuumbers. but i think the important point is that smoking and drinking is a no no when you are pregnant especially. arnt preme's at risk for under developed lungs and things that would be worse than asthma or withdrawls. and i know that many preme's spend weeks in the hospital before they are safe to go home.
