It's official we're having a baby, I need some info

[soysos]

Mrs. SOS has expressed some concerns about me vaping with a pregnant woman/ little one in the house. I'm looking for some information that might put her mind at ease, or if her concerns are valid I want to know that too.

time to start building the vape Cave

I would say just vape in another room or outside. Even if it's not harmful, just do it so she has one less thing to worry about

My daughter and 18 month old grand daughter live with my wife and I. At this age, they have no fear, and are into anything and everything they can reach... and they know how to use chairs and things to reach counters and even shelves and cabinets.

I wouldn't worry about second hand vapor, unless - perhaps - it's high nicotine content and you're in a small, closed space. There are plenty of studies that have dispelled the notion of second hand vapor being dangerous. Annoying perhaps to non-vapers, but not particularly dangerous.

I'd be concerned about access to e-liquid, again, especially if it's a high nicotine content and/or has a pleasant smell and taste. Things like batteries, resistant wire, wicking materials.... basically anything that they can reach and put in their mouths... could be bad news.

Congrats on the little, new SOS.

Pretty much this. While I personally believe that vaping is far safer than smoking, I would still keep it as far away from my newborn as possible. But I don't mean vape in another area code either, another room should be plenty of space to be safe. But I'm no expert just my .

Congratulations!!!!!! The only thing I can think of is the smell of your vapor may cause a bit of nausea during morning sickness but other than that I see no problem. I was born during the time when smoking was allowed even in the delivery room and ladies smoked all during their pregnancy. Personally I think babies were born healthier back then than they are now. Not saying smoking had anything to do with the healthier babies but am saying that it didn't cause harm either. JMHO

I know younger folks have been told and have been convinced that what I am saying is blasphemy but most in my generation, I think, will agree with me.

Little known fact about nicotine it's actually a vital nutrient for the development of nerve tissue. It's so similar chemically to vitamin B3 that it's impossible to ingest one without the other.

Agreed.

I wouldn't vape around my baby, if I had one of course, it's just not a risk worth taking considering we don't know the long term effects of vaping. Looking for info to justify me vaping around a baby really wouldn't even cross my mind. BTW congrats!

 

[Racehorse]

Absent no long-term studies on the effect of vapor on pregant women, or more importantly, INFANT lungs, eyes, skin, etc.........I would certainly err on the conservative side.

I would be less concerned vaping around wife, but an infant....well, I can't really support that. I don't know what the indoor air quality of vaping does on INFANT lungs and even eye and nose membranes, etc. I know I wouldn't even "go there" if it was my new baby.

I would vape in other rooms or well ventilated rooms once baby comes and not in the actual nursery, etc.

We just don't know for SURE!

Congrats though!!!!

 

[WillyZee]

something like this would do nice

 

[soysos]

Of course I have no problem going to another room, I do that already when my wife is home. Well occasionally I'll steath vape in the rather large living room. I just don't want to have to go out in the cold.

It's a wonder I've made it this far, considering what my mother has told me.

Congrats OP! Do what you think is best.........

 

[bluecat]

I doubt you will find and hard evidence of positive or negative effects of prenatal and vaping.

I look at this way. I would not want to be the cause of a birth defect in my child because of a circumstance I can control. You may choose differently, by why chance it?

I would vape outside myself.

So when do we all come over for the new baby bash? I'd be wrecking the arcade games, go figure.

 

[officer196]

First and foremost, congratulations my friend. We actually just had our first. She is seven weeks old as of last Wednesday. My wife actually had the same concerns as your significant other. So as others have suggested, I just walk into my office, take a few puffs and get back at it. Is it a pain, yea it can be. I miss the days of being in my recliner, playing xbox and vaping away, but to me it's worth it for 2 reasons.

1. At the end of the day, even with initial studies indicating vape is mostly safe, I don't want to risk it in the long term. This gives me peace of mind.
2. A happy wife is happy life. I want her to still be ok with my vaping, and this measure makes her happy.

In the end, when I do get an occasional trip to the vape shop, it's just that much more enjoyable as I can vape my heart out and socialize so I tend to appreciate it more.

Anyway, again congrats. You didn't say if this was your first or not, but if it is, get ready for a great adventure. I'll keep you and Ms. Sos in my thoughts.

Personal Space, right to privacy and respect of others.
The Cave, or another room should be a safe responsible action.
More concerned about proper management of all vaping related items.
Time for a nice safe, maybe lockable, storage system.

3 Grandchildren in my home. All of age to understand 100%, don't touch my stuff.

I have a 23 month old and a 4 week old. I only vape in my office, the bathroom with the fan on or outside. I actually bought a HEPA air purifier for my office so my clouds would stay at a minimum and not drift down the hallway. It works pretty well, but sounds like a jet taking off when it is on high.

I agree with err on the side of caution.
