that tobacco guy's gonna step on you again!
My mother was actually advised by her doctor to take up smoking when she was pregnant with me - "it'll relax you," he assured her. I popped out at a robust 5 lbs. In ancient Roman times I'd have been thrown off a cliffside. THANKS, DR. GOLDBLUM!
(PS: Said doctor was the actor Jeff Goldblum's father.)
I was a small baby too. Parents smoked. Sad to say my mom still smokes and just can't kick it or really just doesn't want to. Just had surgery last week for tumor which doc directly correlated to smoking. Pisses me off.
I, on the other hand, was a huge baby, 10 lbs, and that was because they didn't know then what they do now about prenatal diet. My mom undoubtedly had gestational diabetes.
