Smoking

[Buffy71]

BJ Shooter!!!! Well done - I'm so proud of you!!! Keep going you can definitely do it if you managed a few days. Its just a few days more, then a few days more, then a few days after that and you'll have stopped without really noticing.

Fantastic job lady!

Big smiley hugs to you!

Don't listen to anyone who will slate you. It is a very very hard thing to do and until you are in this position you don't actually realise how hard!

We all know we shouldn't do it. I stopped with my first only because I was so bad with sickness things had to go. This time it was much much harder. I got help from my midwife and managed to get on a program where they give you NRT. LIke some others have said I did cut down from 20 a day down to 5 or less by about 12 weeks. Then stopped completely. I have had the odd ciggie since then which I am not proud of at all but I am human.

Good luck and try to get help. Even try to cut down just now. I read a few things about what it actually does to baby and it freaked me slightly.

Thanks people, it will be a week tomo, defo impressed with myself.

I had one day where i gave up giving up and thought well thats it now i have failed, but got up the next day, didnt beat myself up and carried on with not smoking. I couldnt imagine doing it without the patches though.

I quit cold turkey the minute I got my BFP but I had been waiting 3 years for this so that kind of made it easier I think...the stress of infertility is what made me smoke so much anyway. Good luck to you and if you can't stop entirely, cut back, that alone will help.

i quit smoking way before i fell pregnant and sometimes i craved but its just down to will power i dont really get why people have such aa hard time stopping its up to you what you do everyone has there own choice but to me when i became pregnant i decided that my body isnt mine anymore and it is a safe incuabtor for the baby and i would never put something in my body that could cause any risk to the baby that is my choice.
i think if you try your best then that is all you can do.

I am a smoker, but I will say this.. This morning, after breakfast, I went to have a smoke, and got SO NAUSIOUS. IM DONE!! I knew this was coming. It makes it easier to quit when your body flat out rejects it.. Now, withdrawals.. Not fun...

i feel the same way you do!!! i only found out i was pregnant 1 week ago && before i found out i was pregnant i smoked around 20 a day...i tried to stop smoking all together but just couldnt do it...i now have around 7 cigs a day...i am trying to cut down everyday....dont worry just keep cutting down...am sure everything will be fine
