"You're a murderer!", the heartbroken husband shouted at his wife.

I almost lost a tooth for saying, "Oga calm down", I just had to take cover.

"I warned her to stop drinking and smoking during this pregnancy but she kept clubbing, now MY CHILD IS DEAD!!!"

"Babe don't say that please, how can you say I killed our first child?", she cried uncontrollably.

"Had I Known?", she continued crying but WHAT HAPPENED?

"DRINKING AND SMOKING FOR TWO"
(Is Smoking And Drinking During Pregnancy Harmful?...)

Let's Talk 😷😷😷
• Do Pregnant Women Eat For Two?

- Whenever a pregnant woman eats, food is broken down into nutrients that are absorbed into the woman's blood.

- These nutrients travel through the woman's blood vessels to the PLACENTA that serves as the connection between mother and child.
- The PLACENTA acts as a FILTER removing harmful substances that might affect the child but substances like ALCOHOL and NICOTINE escapes the barrier.

- The UMBILICAL CORD passes these nutrients, oxygen, alcohol, and nicotine unto the unborn child.

Yes, THEY EAT FOR TWO!

The drinking can wait till you're done breastfeeding.
Husbands that smoke shouldn't smoke near their pregnant wife because secondary smoking is dangerous too.

Shisha is worse, 1hour of smoking shisha is equal to 100sticks of cigarette.

One pregnant woman I saw at the bar smoking triggered this thread.
