smoking

Miss Cake,

congrats hun, same here I stopped right on time when I got my BFP.

Bee162,
don't be too hard on yourself - my doc told that it is better to have a maximum of 5 fags a day then the stress.
So if you can't give up just cut it down to 5 and try not to stress too much.

Way to go! I have gradually decreased my smoking over the last year because we were TTC for over 2 yrs and people kept lecturing me that smoking affects your fertility etc so it scared me. I had cut down to one pack per week. I would stop completely every month during TWW and haven't smoked since I got my BFP. I still crave my ciggies but only after I eat. It does get easier but unfortunately it hasn't gone away completely for me.

The weird thing is that everybody says that food will start tasting better once you stop blah blah but the opposite actually happened. I don't taste as well now and I keep adding more and more salt to my food, isn't that strange?

I know it's taboo but I look forward to sneaking a ciggie here and there, I haven't yet but I may!

congratulations for everyone thats managed to quit, for the rest, good luck in your trying! Pregnancy IS stressful so i can imagine you want more lol..

Im not a smoker, was occasionally a social smoker when i was out drinking, but obvious;y not doing that now so also not smoking lol..

the mother in law sparked up this morning and i was nearly sick, smells so much more intense to me now lol!!!

Hi all
Got my BFP on sunday and have started cutting down already but finding it so hard. Usually smoke 20 a day (can you tell I wasn't planning) and have got down to about 10 yesterday and only 2 so far today so looking good!

 

[rachel2557]

Just wanted to offer my support! I quit smoking four years ago right before my first son was conceived. It was so hard! I admire you for trying and keep it up!
