I'm 20w now I stopped at 9 my bf smokes also but smoke was making me sick so I asked him not to smoke around me n he stopped now he asks me if he can smoke weed around me but it helped me a lot so good luck
I'm 19 weeks and I smoke BUT I barely smoke a whole cig anymore. I try to keep it a secret around some people because they pass judgment on what seems to be everything I do. Its hard to quit
I smoke also. My doctor told me the same thing that the stress we put on our bodys is worse than just smoking. I cut way back and when I do need a cigarette I will inhale the first few drags then I wont inhale the rest. It still calms me down and I am not giving as much of it to the baby!
I'm 6 weeks and my dr told me to try out that electronic cigarette. It's only water vapor and a little bit of nicotine but none if the nasty things that make us feel guilty for smoking. Good luck to all the ladies out there trying to quit
Im nearly 11weeks and finding it hard to stop, all my fam smokes, erghh i hate this habit! i wont smoke in public around people i kno as they do judge, end of the day its not there problem so they shudnt say anything spitefull x good lick ladies
I'm a smoker I'm on my 4th baby n I smoked with other 3. Didn't have anything wrong with other babys. I cut down n don't smoke in public just because I've gotten into it with nosy I have nothing better to do than yell at a stranger for something that has nothing to do with me people. My doc said better to cut down than go cold turkey n relapse n smoke a pack in a day which is what I was doing.
I've smoked for 15 years. The day I found out I was pregnant I finished my pack of cigarettes and quit the next day. I haven't smoked one since. I knew that I wasn't quitting for me, I was quitting for the baby I was creating. To me that made it a whole lot easier. I know everyone's different and its harder for some but just do it for your baby and not yourself. Fyi...I still want a cigarette but I haven't given in. I am 27w
I used to smoke but quit when I found out I was pregnant. It was hard because my husband was still smoking at the time but he eventually quit too. I know it's so hard to quit but you have to think its only for a couple of months and it has the potential to impact your pregnancy. Do what you can but keep in mind the risks you could be taking. I used to drink everyday smoke weed and cigs and have everything up cold turkey as soon as I found out because if something did happen to my babies because of choices I made I wouldn't be able to forgive myself
I smoked for 11 years and while I was waiting on my at home pregnancy test results I lit a cig. I took one drag of it then saw I was pregnant(yay) I immediately put the cig out and haven't smoked since. I thought about smoking for maybe 2 days but in the past when I would quit all I would think about was smoking now I don't think about it cause all I can think about is "baby". I wish everyone good luck that is trying to quit.
To the women who smoked and had healthy pregnancies before...it doesn't mean it'll happen again. Don't count your eggs before they're all in the basket.
I just keep going back to how bad it is for ANYONE to smoke and I couldn't imagine purposely exposing my unborn child to it. Being an ex-smoker I know its hard. Just think about all those chemicals going into your helpless baby!
I quit smoking with my first pregnancy and started back a year after and then 3 years later when I found out I was prego quit again! The way I found worked best for me was prayer and sleep, in everything that I do I always pray for strength! If you have 3 or can get 3 days off work. I literally stayed in bed for 3 days and my husband just woke me to eat. The reason I did it this way was to get past the light headed droggy feeling. It takes 3 days to get past the addiction and 30 days to break the habit. Id suggest keeping gum and suckers around until you break the habit. After the 3 days you may want it but won't need it. My husband still smokes but he goes outside and wouldn't even consider smoking around me. I Haven't wanted for a cigarette since I quit. Good luck and I hope this helps you as it did me!
@brookiesbaby i also did it that way, i took the test and when it came back positive i had one cig and then no more. i still want a cig and sucks when i dream about smoking bc i feel like i have broken in but i havent. but i smoked so much i think my only chance at quitting was for my unborn baby, so for that i thank my little girl
@maybe8thtimesacharm I tried one of those (way before I even thought about being preggers) n their great really not much of an after taste n no horrible smell its odd I think smoke smells terribly but I used to smoke lol so being pregnant is tbe best thing that has happened to me so I can quit for good
I'm 20 weeks and quit at 17... it was really hard what I did was one drag everytime I wanted to smoke so instead of 10 a day use have a total of one.. id put it in the freezer when I peeled it... the next day instead of everytime I'd want one I'd wait 2 hours then four then one drag before bed then the next day I was good.. I quit in 4 days and I've been smoking for 7 years... good luck
