TasteofIndia agony auntThanks for reminding us to be sensitive. Sometimes, due to the anonymity of the web, we aunts forget how personal this advice really is. My condolences to you for the loss of your friend.

If there's a possibility you're pregnant, go out and get a pregnancy test! That will clear up a lot of unanswered questions in your mind. Congratulations on clearing the cigarettes out of your life, by the way!! It's a hard habit to kick.

ok im stopped smoking and im like 10 lbs overweight but i thinl im preggos and i know its possible but i never ment anyone that was a over weight smoker. And sorry i should have gave yall more info but i have been stuggling to lose that last 10 lbs . Hey 10 lbs inst that bad i guess i was kinda in denail that im preggo. Thinks for being honest and tellin me to stop smoking and lose weight but next time any of u flat out tell someone to lose a lil weight just please b careful how u word it cuz 1 of my best friends killed themselfs cuz she was only couple lbs overweight and was so hard for her to get raid of and every1 was poking at her belly when honestly she was perfect. Then she couldnt handle it and killed herself.i know u guys were just tellin me the truth but i know how it is to lose a best friend over something so stupid so please for someone else b careful.thanks

your gonna think im so harsh now, and i dont mean to be im sorry but stop smoking and try to loose a bit of weight before having a baby? your only 18-21 theres plenty of time for babies. concentrate on your own health first. there is plenty of overweight smokers who have had babies. although you dont telll us your height or weight so we dont really know. there IS chance of you havin a baby just as much as anyone else so dont worry :D but try and stop smoking for both you and if you get pregnant, your babies health good luckk babe x

Angela.B agony auntIs it possible? Yes, of course it is. If you have unprotected sex then it doesn't matter how many things there are the make conception less likely, there is always a chance.

Is it advisable? No, not really. You know that smoking can damage both your own and the babies health and even if you aren't bothered about yourself then surely you wouldn't want to hurt your own child?

If you and your partner are thinking about starting a family then it's time you both thought thinking about what changes you need to make. Wanting and doing the best for our children means making sure everything is right, from conception and beyond.
