This is a very sad condition as it effects families for years, especially as a mother, for the farther its the not knowing, its when you walk into a room even years later and the family still talk to you sensitively, you may move on but its the family as a whole that have had the excitement of the birth and every little bit of information along the way taken also! It leaves a void that no-one has yet found a way to fill.

Smoking is just nasty. Look what it does to your drapes and your cloths and your furniture ..if it ruins all that stuff ..just what does it do to an unborn baby ..STOP SMOKING and save your lungs and your family and your BABY. oxoxoxxoxoox, Blu'AbbeyCat ( a non-smoker and proud of it)
