6+4 days pregnant and have been vaping!!

[RubyVictoria97]

Hi everyone, this is my first pregnancy and I’ve just found out! Absolutely over the moon but so so scared as I’ve heavily vaped before I found out! I’ve stopped and thrown everything in the bin but so scared to think what damaged I’ve caused I’m 6 weeks 4 days today. Any one else experience this and their babies been totally fine? I just can’t help but feel so guilty 😞

Hi OP, if you stop before your placenta has formed and taken over at about 12 weeks, your baby will be absolutely fine. Well done on wanting to stop as so many are very blasé about vaping in pregnancy and do not quit. There are some very serious risks to babies who've been exposed to vaping throughout pregnancy so seriously you are doing great by stopping now! Like I said once it's before 12 weeks you're all good. Congratulations!

I had been on holiday before I found out I was expecting my (surprise) youngest. I’d been socially drinking and smoking which is not something I usually did anyway baby was absolutely fine and weighed nearly 10lbs. So don’t panic and good luck with your pregnancy x

@remaininghopeful23 ahhh thank you so much that’s really put my mind at rest!! It’s so hard as I’m still too early to have an appointment with a midwife so my mind has been running 100 miles an hour lol and booked for an early scan next week and I’ll be 7+5 then and just been imagining the worst case scenario as it’s only come out recently how bad vapes actually are for you! Thank you so much again☺️

@DaringTurtle wow 10lbs what a lush chunky babba! It’s so horrible that your mind can be your worst enemy sometimes especially with this being my first and was such a surprise to me and my OH! Thought I’d post here as I’ve seen it can be such a good support network for mums! Thank you so much for the reassurance🙏 x

I got my BFP in the middle of an all inclusive holiday!
Honestly, you can't do anything about what's happened up till now and the chances of it doing any harm at such an early stage are slim anyway.

The important thing is you've now decided to stop after getting your BFP. Onwards and upwards.

Pregnancy is an anxious enough time as it is, don't stress yourself more by worrying about things your can't change or control

congratulations! You’ll be fine! Don’t worry ☺️

i remember trying for over a year for my second, I cut out drinking and smoking etc and had a late period but 5 tests all said negative so I thought sod it, first time in a year got royally shitfaced, smoked a pack of cigarettes and ate a smorgasbord of soft cheeses and pate.

The following Tuesday I had the positive I’d been desperate for and felt so guilty! Baby is almost 10 now and no harm done ☺️
