Smoking??

[Ema]

Ok just wondeing......

Before i was preg, i was a smoker but the min i found out i was preg i gave up Last jan the 9th to be accurate!

Because i never drunk when i was preg i never felt the need to smoke.

But now when i go out on a night out i tend to smoke, now ive never smoked without drinking i.e during the day etc etc.

So im just wondering who gave up while preg and went back to it, and who managed to continue not smoking?? Anyone smoke through there pregnancy?? XxxX

i was like a chimney before i got pregnant. and i was smoking B&H gold special filters aswell...my lungs were fucked! i had my last one on my way home from work just before i did my test! but when i've had a drink i want one now, apart from that i cant stand it

I smoked before I got pregnant with Dan, I gave up while pregnant, then after Dan was born I managed to stay of them for 5 months until something happened and I needed a smoke, that was June 1998 I smoked until Dec 2002 when I gave up for good!!!!! So I have been smoke free for 6 years now. But let me say and only another smoker will understand this, even though I have been of them for 6 years sometimes I get a whiff of smoke and get the most awful craving for one !!! even now

Ohhhh I want a fag so badly

It's been 20 weeks since I properly stopped and all I wanna do is nick one from somone and smoke.

I'm hoping I won't go back to smoking after, because I would of done so well to quit for 34 weeks, so why carry on after? IMO

Thats a good thing though! Be glad, cause once you've smoked and it's got hold of u, apparently it never goes away.

My mum quit 20years ago when she got preg with me, she says even now she has a craving sometimes

i gave up as soon as i thought it was our month! and i got my bfp! haven't gone back since. i suppose i was a social smoker, and did love a fag with a glass of wine, still crave it now, but have resisted! so i suppose i am now an ex-smoker?!

Same here although Ive been out a few times now without having one so hopefully itll kick my habit.

I used to smoke before I was pregnant. I didn't smoke when I was pregnant. Although I had a pack of 10 right at the end, ( I just fancied some ) I have never been addicted. ( No-one believes me on this ) But I have give up cigs easy peasy before. I just enjoy smoking? Lol. I could give them up tommorrow and it wouldn't bother me. But I aint doing because I enjoy it. I smoke in the kitchen, NEVER around Lexie. My mum does the same

I gave up when i found out i was pregnant with Benn and havent looked back. Do sometimes think a fag would be nice now but i wouldnt i know if i have one ill start back up again. I really enjoyed smoking at the time i loved a drink and a fag.

Smoking is an addiction and as with all addictions that "urge" or "craving" never leaves you ... even if you give up for years and years you can still slip back into it so easily.

Which is why im back smoking again, my entire pregnancy that feeling never left me and tbh i dont think it ever will

I felt like that as well hun but im free of it now. I do very rarely think a fag would be nice but i dont get that craving or the feeling i have to have one. I smoked for 11 years and thought id never escape it.

I smoked until I found out I was pregnant in 2005. I have had three children since then and haven't had a fag because I don't want to miss out on any of my children's lives and as it is I panic about how much damage I may have caused to my body when I smoked for 10 years. To smoke is to potentially deny my children a mother in the future and I can't see it's worth the trauma that could cause them, especially as it is totally avoidable. Personal opinion of course. Oh and by the way I am an all or nothing smoker....ie...have one puff and I'd be back on 20 a day no problems hence why I have to be very strict with myself!!!
