Just out of curiosity, how bad is it to
smoke and be on the pill? I'm pregnant
now, but after I have my baby I was
considering going on it, but i'm a smoker
(but not while i'm pregnant, so no worries
:p)...If its going to be super bad for my
health i'm not going to go on it, but I
was just wondering how hazardous it
actually is. Thanks!!

There is an increased risk for smokers to
develop dvt (deep vein thrombosis) as
compared to non-smokers. You could always
stay off the cigs. Now is the best time
since you're not doing it anyway :)
