    Smoking and Pregnancy.
    I am a proud father to be wondering if anyone out there has seen the video where they do an ultrasound while a woman is smoking. I NEED that video to show my girlfriend. I am totally in love with her but scared as hell because she hasn't changed her smoking habits and we've just gotten past the 13 week mark.

    I am the child of a smoker and made it through. My brother was born with respiratory problems plus a large collection of allergies that could easily be attributed to the smoking my mother did during her term.

    If anyone has any idea where I can find this video, I would be greatly appreciative. I am at my wits end because she seems so nonchalant about the whole thing and I know how guilty and upset and devastated she will feel if there are complications due to a stupid habit that could have been avoided.

    Thanks for your help!

    I don't know about a video but even after she has the baby you should try to get her to quit smoking for good. Tell her how much you care about her and the baby and you don't want anything to happen to them. It is something that no one should get into because it's dangerous. I don't know why people do it but try to get her to quit all together.

    I'm already all over this and she has said that when she quits, it will be for good. The video that I'm looking for was on a news show, don't know when, don't which show... it shows this woman smoking and basically, the unborn child has a seizure...

    There is one on utube called smoking with fetus and cletus, it's a little silly but I give a lot of facts about what it does to the baby
