did anyone vape throughout their pregnancy and have higher level of amniotic fluids due to this and was the baby born with withdrawals

And this tells me all I need to know about your parenting standards 🥴

@Pastelhp and how does my son using the word Karen towards me reflect on my parenting standards? its not a word i have taught him!! something he has picked up like most children his age do! amongst him and his friends they find it funny, their only 10!!

@BodenCardiganNot no it doesnt worry me at all. freedom of speech.

Words evolve in the English language. For example - my mum (in her 70s) was born with very mild birth injuries and a word was used to describe this by the medical profession when she was young. There was also a society for this type of condition. That word is now seen as a pretty appalling slur.

Many women are seeing the word Karen as a misogynistic slur. You may not and that is fine. But it is generally advisable not to use a word that a number of people who are part of a group see as a slur against that group. This is especially true with a child as once he hits secondary school age he may find that his classmates are not forgiving if he uses slurs that they find problematic.

@Mumofteenandtween thanks for that insight, i appreciate it 😊

@XMummyTo5X good-o. You won’t mind if I refer to you as an imbecile then.

If my son called any woman (but especially his own mother) something disrespectful he would be educated pretty sharpish on why it’s inappropriate to use that term. What other words does he use to insult people that are unacceptable? Some words will be met with a ‘tut!’ Others could result in a violent physical reply. Is it only fine to be disrespectful to older women, but not to, say, a young man from a different background to him because the wrong word might get him punched or worse? If he cannot see the boundaries he should not step over, because you have not shown them to him, he will either experience problems or worse still, become the problem as he grows up. It’s your responsibility as a parent to guide him here. But you can’t see what is wrong with vaping in pregnancy, so not sure you will have that many standards when it comes to parenting either.

Going back to the original question - vaping is just so new that there just isn’t the research. As another poster said “probably better than smoking” is generally applicable not just for pregnancy but in general health wise. But lots of things are probably safer than smoking - including licking the pavement and ski-jumping. I personally don’t fancy either.

As decisions made about your baby - and you will find over the years there will be all sorts of decisions that you will absolutely agonise about - your decision to stop vaping is probably the one that is most likely to improve your child’s outcomes. I strongly suspect that the hours I spent deliberating over cot mattresses had no impact whatsoever.
