it looks like i may need to quit vaping as well. My pregnancy test came back positive. I'll be seeing a doc soon.

8-o

it's really odd. I wonder if quitting smoking had anything to do with fertility. I've been married for several years and never got pregnant until now.

Congrats!!

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]women have a 40% lower chance of getting pregnant if they smoke, according to a report published today by the british medical association (bma).
Smoking and passive smoking was also responsible for up to 5,000 miscarriages and 120,000 cases of male impotence in men aged between 30 and 50 every year, said the report, smoking and reproductive life, by the bma's board of science and tobacco control resource centre.

Congrats!!!

Yanno, I gotta ask. If women can stop smoking/vaping for the 9-10 month period while pregnant, why go back to smoking later? My sister smoked for years, got pregnant, quit while pregnant, then after the baby was born and about (I'm guessing) 6-12 months old, started smoking again. Then did it two more times! Her kids are in their mid to late twenties and my sister is telling me she just can't quit smoking. I told her, sure you can! You did it three times!!! LOL

I've heard of a lot of women never even quitting. I read over the risks though, and it's pretty scary.

Congrats! I also wonder if analogs cause a certain level of infertility.

Out of curiosity, could one safely smoke 0mg liquid while pregnant?

I'm actually afraid of inhaling PG, VG, and/or any added chemicals that might be put in for flavoring. I don't think there are any studies on pregnant women and I wouldn't want to risk any birth defects or negative side effects. It would really help with withdrawal if I could do that with confidence though.

Mrs and I both smoked; stopped a month ago knowing we wanted to start a family, used vaping as a means to quit smoking. Discussions have become more frequent and we're pretty much set on starting a family now :D. We've discussed her stopping vaping, since we both agree that its probably not the best idea; shes already been cutting back in preparation. I would definitely say its best to give up the vaping; better safe than sorry.
Congrats and best of luck to you. Thats such awesome news!!!

I'd talk to your doctor. Mine told me that quiting completely while pregnant causes lots of miscarriages due to stress and that cutting way back was better. I cut back to half a pack of analogs a day from almost 2 packs and both of mine were pretty much perfect babies. Both scored 9 of 10 on APGAR scale. Probably would have scored 10 if I hadn't been sedated for c-sections. Talk to your Doc and see what they think before you do anything. If they say it's OK to quit completely then go for it and good luck! And congrats! I loved being pregnant and babies are great fun. Of course now they are almost 18 and almost 6 and I sometimes wonder "what was I thinking," but on most days they are great :).

Congratulations!! What a wonderful side effect lol! Probably cuts down on the money saved by not smoking though lol.

Nah she stopped three times, you only quit if you don't go back to it. I've done it more than three times, it the psychological part of the addiction, and for me the social part too as my husband, sister, brother in-laws (three of them), and dad, as well as most of the people I know smoke. my sister and I are trying to quit analogs together via the e-cig cut back method. I was so grateful that she told me about them that I bought her starter pack, some starter liquid, and some spare attys for her lol.

If you look at it this way...

PG and VG are already in a variety of products that are both FDA approved AND used on a daily basis by most people. So are any food/candy/etc flavorings. So, I would think that vaping a 0-Nic flavored solution would have no more negative effects on you or a fetus than any of the products that have these things in their ingredients (foods, candy, drinks, etc).

Anyone disagree?
