smoking

[miss cakes]

i am the crazy bitch that started up a smoking thread before and was amazed that instead of sniping nasty comments everyone was actually very supportive and some were goin through the same as me trying to give up the nasty habit!! just wanted to let you all know as im quite pleased with myself lol i havent had a single fag (cigerette) for three weeks! i just cut down til i stopped ive bitten all my fingernails off and eaten so many sweets as a substitute you wouldnt believe! hows everyone else doin?

good luck with everything

When I got pregnant with my son many moons ago, I went to the dr to ask for help or counselling to give up, he told me to just cut down as it wouldn't be good to have me in craving state and distressed. So that's what I did, yes I wanted to give up but had major difficulty. He was overdue and 8lb born with no health problems at all. Well done if you have given up, it ain't easy xxx

Amazing! Good on you both Miss Cakes and Miss Jamie!

I gave up smoking about 9 years ago and I know that it is one of the hardest things to do.

i couldnt give up in my last pregnancy and my son was also 8lb no problems and my midwife said the same just cut down i think the main reason i was able to stop this time is because i felt so sick everytime i had a fag i got to the point where i just couldnt smoke xx

Well done that's excellent My husband went cold turkey from 40 a day to 0 literally like that so I know how hard it can be but also how rewarding. 5 years on he still doesn't smoke and actually finds it repulsive so keep going it's worth it. Even just having nice smelling clothes again is wonderful

Well done you for giving up!! I know how hard it is. I gave up before I got pregnant with my daughter. x

Well done, its so hard to give up smoking. I gave up with my DD as soon as I found out as I was sick as a dog but went back to it after she was born . With this one I also gave up the day I found out, had a ciggie at 12pm, found out I was pregnant at 12.30pm and havent had one since but the week before I was trying to give up 'in case I was pregnant' and I just couldnt, it was so hard.
I just needed a nudge and little pip was the nudge I needed.

Did crave one yesterday though, oh it would have gone down a treat.

How funny... The fact that the smoking thread has no nasty comments but the one about xray machines and breast or bottle feeding opens a whole can of worms!!! Well done on stopping for your baby!! Xx
