At my first m.wife app wen i was preg with my little girl(now one)she asked if i smoked i said i had smoked 3 a day but gave up wen i found out i was preg, this was put on computer and wen i had my scan that paper they print out and staple to your notes had cigarettes-yes 3 per day.I am pregnant and had my first scan last week and told m.wife no i dont smoke but wen reading my notes at home it says 3 a day again.is it worth saying anything?

It ain't easy giving up smoking (well done you), so make sure they appreciate your efforts. Speak up!

I smoked before falling pregnant and have the same problem as it was put on my notes that i am a smoker and that is one of the reasons it made my pregnancy high risk!! told my mw that i dont actully smoke amy more and that it says on my notes i do and she said just leave it as it is as it takes ages for it to be changed!

I would ask your MW to change it.

When I had my booking in I was asked about alcohol and I said since getting pregannt I was having "one or two, once or twice a week" as suggested by the MW and the next week I got sent a letter about the dangers of drinking in pregnancy.

This is my 3rd and if I do drink I often do so with my MW who happens to be a mate of mine!
