They might be pregnant, but they're still addicts.

With the addition of a little one to the family, the party might be over, but the adventure is just beginning -- but pregnancy isn't stopping these soon-to-be-mommies from indulging. And we don't mean indulging in a hot fudge sundae with a side of pickles -- we mean in smoking, drinking, even drugs! Along with a panel of experts, Tyra takes on a pregnancy intervention to help these women change their lives -- as well as the lives of their unborn babies.

I think that what a women does while she is pregnant is between her and her doctor. I am 24 years old and have three children ages 6,5,and 2. I smoked a full pack a day with all of them and the only problems that any of them have ever had was signs of spina bifida in utero which is a genetic disorder and has nothing to do with smoking. I really think that people who have never actually been in these womens shoes and had to quit smoking while they were pregnant have any room to judge or to tell others how they need to live their lives and take care of their children. If smoking is such an issue then thier children would have been taken from them. Smoking is not illegal and I don't think that anyone has the right to judge someone else for how they live their life!! Their are several saying that we should all remember when judging others. Treat others as you want to be treated. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Judge yourself before judging others. Karma always comes back ten fold.
 
TO "GOD'S WORKER" why do you care what Tyra puts on the show? DON'T WATCH IF YOU DON'T AGREE. That isn't so hard to do, now is it? You have free will, right? GOD loves everyone, people that claim to be Christian and Love and Honor God, are the most hypocritical people I have ever seen!! Who are you to say what is right and what is wrong. Holy than thou syndrome it sounds like. The bible is so over analyzed and people come up with their own assumption. So unless you speak to God personally, then you have no idea what his thoughts are about Homosexuals. Stop wasting your time hating others, and love and accept everyone for who they are, not their lifestyle.
 
Hello. I was the 14 year old girl that was aired on the show for the "Pregnancy Intervention" and I took my sister to the Tyra Show to get her some help. My sister Nia, still has yet to show that she will stop being an addict and start caring for her daughter. Nia will never change and I feel so bad for her daughter Mercedes. Mercedes is still living with me and my mother(her grandma) and this is the best place for her. She will not have the influences anymore from her mother. I just wanted to give you all an update since this topic seems to be so strong.
 
i thnik if you want to smoke cigarettes and it is a habbit ok i understand but dont have a baby until you can stop you dont have to have one right now. Wait until you can stop that adiction so the baby dont have to suffer for your mistakes if you really cared you wouldnt try to put your child through that i know its hard but it definately has been people that have stopped before. just alil tough love the baby comes before you.
 
I don't care what any of you in here say about smoking. I would not take that chance with my unborn. Stop being selfish. Children are not for selfish people.
 
WHAT I PERSONALLY DONT UNDERSTAND IS WHY SMOKE IN THE FIRST PLACE..WHAT IS IT BECAUSE OF STRESS MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD OR WHAT?...NO NEED TO DO THAT WHEN THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE..SMOKING IS NASTY(NOT TO INSULT ANYONE..BUT KNOWING THAT YOUR PREGNANT AND KILLING YOUR BABY DURING THE PREGNANCY IS WRONG..THERE IS HELP THAT YOU CAN GET IF YOU KNOW THAT ITS GOING TO BE A TOUGH CHALLENGE...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I had this on my PVR and just sat down and watched it tonight. My sister is pregnant and due in 5 weeks. She did not quit smoking and it has been KILLING me. I have tried to give her all the information I can to make her take this seriously and coming from a close family member, that's just not enough. Your show really summed up everything I've been trying to tell her. She's almost got me feeling crazy she is so confident it's not a big deal. My husband and I are having a really hard time trying to conceive and we just can't watch her take advantage of the miracle god had blessed her with. Now there's just one question? How do I get her to watch this?
 
I am sorry the whole view on the smokeing is wronge my mom smoked while she was pregnant with me and I was a 10 pound baby and very healthy. It is not easy to stop smoking pregnant or not I was able to stop with my first two but only because the smell of smoke made me deathly ill but my last child i smoked with and he is actually the healthier out of all 3 of my children. Everyone was too hard on them instead of worrying about the women who smoke you should be looking at the ones partying and drinking.
 
I can't believe these woman. I wish I had their info so I could tell them my story. My mom smoked when she was pregnant with me and I was born 2months premature a little over 4lbs and actually died for 2mins after I was born. I was so fragile no one could even hold me till I gained weight. Now For years I have had terrible Asama attacks. The pain is so bad, its like a knife twisting in my chest. I can't take a breath and I have to live with my inhaler.I always wonder how my mom could do this to me? She has ruined a part of my life and is the reason I have this pain. I am severely allergic to cigarette smoke and I have to live with that fear daily. If I even inhale the smoke I will die within minutes without help and its unbearable. I can't walk into a store without passing the people outside smoking and my heart speeds up and I start to panic knowing that if even 1 person blows in my face I could die that day. These woman need to understand they are ruining their child's life! I am alive but I have to live with this fear. How can they willing do that. I can never change this, how could they even pick up another cigarette knowing the effects?!
 
I live in Ohio. I am 23 and am 17 weeks pregnant. Thi epiode of the Tyra Show made me cry the entire time. I feel the smokers'pain. i was always so judgemental of wmen that continued to smoke cigarettes during their pregnancy. I alwas thought when I got pegnant that I would quit the minute I found out. I've tried quittin but have been unsuccessful. There are clinics and things like rehab for drug addicts and alcoholics, but what about cigarttes? I'm severly depressed because I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I can't stop it, and people who've never battled addiction are so quick to point the finger and judge because they don't know what it's like. Everyday is a constant struggle.
