Hi girls :)

Im Laura, im 17 and currently 11 weeks pregnant. I found out i was pregnant at 5 weeks, and although to start with it was scary, ive come to terms with it now and im very excited :)

Ive been with my boyfriend for 2 and a half years, but we had a split last october which lasted 6 months. Hes been my first love and my first proper boyfriend, and i love him very much. We have spoke about babies before and he seemed very excited at the idea.

There is a little problem though, which i hope you girls could help me with. FOr the past year, from when we split up he started smoking marijuana. IT wasnt on a regular basis, maybe once or twice every few months, but as the months have gone by its got worse. Hes now doing it everytime hes out with his mates, and i cant stand it.

He knows how i feel about it, ive told him millions of times i dont agree with it and everytime i know hes had some i go in a mood with him, not because i want too, i literally cant stop myself and for that moment i actually hate him. He always fights back when i go on about it, telling me that he can do what he wants to do in his own time, that he doesnt do it around or near me, so it shouldnt be a problem, but thats not good enough. The fact that hes doing it is enough.

When he goes out with his mates differs, some week hes can see them 4/5 times a week, some weeks not at all. Although he does see them 3 times a week at college. Everytime hes with them he does it.

I dont know what to do. I want him to stop so bad, i dont want to bring a baby up with a dad who smokes weed. Its not how i wanted it to be and its not what ill let my baby come in to, even if he isnt doing it near the baby, the fact that he does it is bad enough.

Please girls give me some advice, i have no idea what to do anymore. I dont want to tell my parents because i know they would hate it and proberly not let him round the house again, which will just cause more problems.

hi im joanne, im 17 and have an 8 week old baby girl, im not with the father tho. my brother is 18 and he smokes it, it started with just a few times a week, then its got to the point where all his money goes on it, he knows its wrong and hes wasting his life, but he has convinced himself he cant get out of it its like an addiction to him he thinks he couldnt function with out it now. i only let him see his niece when i know he hasnt smoked it for at least 12 hours because i dont want jessica growing up around this, id tell your BF to get real and get his priorities right, if he cares that much about you and his new baby he would think twice. try and get him some help or make hime see sence before it gets out of hand. i know its ruined my brothers life now and he will probably smoke it for the rest of his life i like to think he wont but i know he will if that makes sence lol!
anyways how r u feeling, and how is ur pregnancy going??

Yeah i know what you mean too, my brother smokes it regularly and i can see what it does to him, whenever he gets stressed out now he has to have it, after he comes home from a bad day of work he has to have it, if hes had an argument he has to have it. He cant go without it, its ridiculous.

I dont know what else i can do to stop him. He lies to me now as of when he has had it, so i dont know for sure, but everytime hes with his mates they have it, so i cant see how he cant !

Im not too bad apart from this thanks, just everytime im with him now i seem to get stressed out over something or other i just feel like i cant be happy at the minute. I dont know if its him or a mixture of the pregnancy hormones, i really dont know. The pregnancies going well thanks, havnt suffered too badly with m/s so its alright, im just extremely tired lately ! xx
