Well done for giving up, I know how hard it is

I used to smoke at least 20 a day (loads more if I was drinking ) before I got pregnant. For me, I treated cigarettes like alcohol. I simply couldn't have it. Once you get it into your head that you cannot smoke, under any circumstances, then all you have to do is get over the craving (I say all!) Apparently a craving only last 5 minutes, so if you can make it passed that you've done it!

Good luck, you can do it!

well done, keep it up, I smoked between 20-30 a day , found out I was preggie at 6 weeks and stopped. It is hard and I admit that I have had a couple of relapses in the last 19 weeks and smoked a couple of ciggies, but they tasted REVOLTING and although it is not good it is still better than smoking a whole packet. Take one day at a time, try coming on here 24/7!!!!!! I used to eat cherry tomatos or grapes or something along those lines when I stopped before

you will get there, each day with no fags is a success!!!!!

WELL DONE Stella_25
You're doing great, you should be so very pleased with yourself!! And I know because I too quit when I knew I was pregnant, I don't think anything helped me other than knowing it was best for my baby, I also stopped any alcohol too, as that usually went with a cig.

I've not had a cig for just under 3 months now, but I'm sorry to say I still get cravings for one, weekly, and it's horrible, and to have a cig would be so easy, but you WILL find that strength to not smoke, you've done the hardest part already, honestly, the best advice I can give is..

The GOOD DAYS gets LONGER
The BAD DAYS get SHORTER

Very Best Wishes, keep it up!!

Thanks everyone for your support its a great help to me.x.x got to take it easy now had a scare this afternoon was bleeding a little bit...so its made me see things in a different light... I should be okay....(i hope) gonna go and see my gp in the morning.... Thanks again for all the support.x.x.

I had some bleeding at 5 weeks Stella_25 and the Doc organised a scan for us at the hospital for the next day, to check everything was alright, which it was, got to see LO, just a smudge and a flicker of a heartbeat on the scan screen, so tiny, but such a relief to see I hope your appointment puts your mind at ease

Very best wishes

Thanks redshoes... rang the doctors this morning and they would not fit me in even though i told them what the problem was!!! they said they would get the doctor to ring me... told him the stituation and he said if the bleeding has stop and i have no crap there would be no need to go to the hospital for a scan because it would be very hard to see the baby... so he wants me to go and see him today at 5.00... just to check me over.... i tell ya its been a bloody worry all this has!!! but i feel okay... i dont think there is a problem... just going to rest up .x.x

 

[Redshoes]

When I bled I thought the worst, but being on this forum has showed me that bleeding is quite common, and not just a sign of bad news, which really helped me. If you want to go for a scan to be certain, suggest it to your Doc today, and emphasize any worries, I don't see why you cannot be checked because you can often see how things are progressing on the scan screen so early, see what happens at Doc's, hopefully you'll feel a lot more reassured after your appointment, or you could phone the hospital yourself and see what advice they give

 

[Stella_25]

yeah I argree redshoes that bleeding is quite common... i feel okay dont feel odd in any way and still have my symptoms.... moody as hell and sore boobs!!! lol but when i see the doctor i will ask him if i can have a scan done... got a feeling he wont refer me.... thanks for the replys
redshoes..x.x.x

 

[Redshoes]

Well I hope it goes well, and don't worry about having your say, it is your body, your baby, and he will listen if he's any sort of decent Doctor Let us know how it goes
