Smoking - Beginning Or End Of Pregnancy? Which Is More Harmful?
Aug 8, 2014
Please don't judge me. Since June I started smoking cigarettes and it got worse the more I tried to quit. I finished my last pack yesterday and I'm determined to not smoke anymore because I don't want to harm my baby that had been healthy this whole way. My question is it worse to smoke more towards the end of pregnancy than the beginning? I stopped smoking the same month I found out I was pregnant n then stress had me smoking again n june to August

Over more than 10 years I’ve been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks and during this time I’ve been on several antidepressants, together with Lorazepam and Xanax. I know that both Lorazepam and Xanax are addictive, but they are the only thing that makes my life at least somewhat bearable.
What worries me though is, I’ve been taking all these medications for a decade, what kind of long term harmful side effects can Lorazepam and Xanax cause?

I'm asking Moms who breastfed more than one baby already. Is it as painful in the beginning the second time around? Or your boobs just get used to it?
It was pretty painful for me in the beginning with my son but got much better later on. I'm worried it will be as painful in the beginning with my second..

I am not sure if what I have is a tension Headache or not so this may not even be the right forum but I figured I would see if anyone else has similar issues. I have been sick for some time now (brain fog, lethargy,muscle pain, stomach issues) a few months ago I started getting pain in my eyebrows (the bone) so I went to my Dr she had x-rays of sinuses done to check for polyps but nothing was found at that time she put me on doxycycline because all my symptoms pointed to lymes disease even though I didn't have the hallmark bullseye bite mark. A few weeks later I went to the eye Dr as my vision has seemed off (certain patterns were freaking my eyes out like when I was driving and shadows of trees would flicker I would start to feel weird) anyways he did a full eye exam and he said my eyes were fine so I went back to my Dr as the pain in eyebrows had grown worse. She checked my nose and said it was most likely sinus related and that the die off from the lymes was most likely causing inflammation in the sinuses and causing the pain to increase. She put me on methylprednisolone for 6 days which initially worked but a few weeks later boom the pain was back with a vengeance. She suggested I see an ENT which I did he checked everything and did a catscan of my sinuses and said there is no issue with my sinuses and I may want to see a neurologist(which I previously saw about a year ago when my symptoms started and she said she didn't think it was neurological. The pain is almost constant except in the early morning the pain starts at the beginning of the the eyebrows and travels to about the pupil it hurts to push on it and I feel like there is pressure behind my eyes.

I am already 62 and still feel the urge to play with my "equipment" (just to test its erection) but not all the way to ejaculate. The actual ejaculation may only come once or twice in a month and I am wondering if any of you has similar experience and anyone with medical knowledge could also give advice on possible harmfulness.

My boyfriend quit when we found out we were pregnant. He quit with me. Now he's smoking again, has been for about two months. Honestly, I feel like ripping my hair out some days because I want one so badly. It takes everything in me to not grab one an hide it for a day when he is working. It was different when we quit together. But I just don't feel strong enough most days lately. And I want one so badly, it's a lot harder then it should be. I feel like I'm going to snap.
