Hello all

So I used to be a heavy smoker then started vaping (haven't had a cig since). I vaped for the first 10.5 weeks of my pregnancy trying to convince myself it wasn't as bad as cigs and that it was just nicotine but recently whilst awaiting my 20 week scan I have worried myself sick that perhaps those early days of vaping has negatively impacted my baby? Quitting was incredibly hard for me I suffer with anxiety and depression (also on antiDs) and I'm proud of myself that I have but can't help but feel sick with worry about what impact it could have had in first trimester.

Has anyone else vaped throughout their pregnancy and had a healthy baby?

Please don't judge me just looking for reassurance!

Thanks

I didn't know I was pregnant until I was already 14 weeks so I had been vaping non-stop during (6mg nicotine, sometimes higher) during the first trimester. I vaped so much I would cough or have a very dry mouth. Not knowing I was pregnant, I was already worried about the impact of it but couldn't cut down.

When I found out I was pregnant, I was very concerned as you can imagine but the GP, mid-wife and consultant didn't seem bothered at tall. They only asked if I smoked cigarettes and suggest I cut down or stop vaping if I can. All looked well on a detailed private scan at 15 weeks and the 20 week scan is in two weeks. I'm taking my cue from the medical professionals and not worrying about that.

As @Midsummer1991 said you've already done an amazing thing in not smoking and not smoking is the crucial thing.

hows your little one now, any later complications xxx
