Can't sleep tonight I'm still so worried about it. Yesterday I felt I was in a dangerous situation from my baby and struggled to escape it easily yesterday. I'm 14 weeks pregnant.
I'm the sort of person that worries that everything is harming my baby e.g. a glass of coke, some chocolates, a take away. And I will always hold my breath briefly when walking past a smoker.
Yesterday my fiance invited me to the pub, so I knew I'd only have soft drinks and normally we just sit with his friends on a bench in the pub. I was really annoyed because when I first got there, we were outside and everyone was congratulating me, then had the cheek to light up a fag right next to me!!! :( I tried to move along a bit but it seemed like everyone was smoking around me. We were outside for no more than 20 mins and then went in.
Later on we had to come outside again because I was overheating and it was just too crowded in there. This time it was just crowded with smokers but one of ours friends got talking to us and I felt it would be rude to just rush off. But I started getting ancy as I was stood there for what felt like 10 mins in what felt like a ridiculous level of smoke and I was just soooo frightened it was harming the baby. So I pulled my fiance away and said we had to move, didn't care anymore if I was coming across as rude!
However I've been sat up now for the past hour freaking out about the effects of this on my baby :( I'm never going to the pub again while pregnant even if I figure it's just a soft drink... I never anticipated I'd end up being around so many smokers and risk harming my baby like this :(
