I had to!

[missac]

I thought I would never quit, my life was ruled by smoking, if we ever went out I had to make sure that I was going to go to a smoking place, or I wouldn't go, every thing I did I made damn sure I would get a fag!

Then I fell pregnant, and I stopped!!!! Just like that, didn't have another one - very bizarre, had no moods or cravings because I had something else to focus on, to me it was never really an option.

I know I sound holier than thou and I am not trying to be I just wanted to let you all know that if I can do it you can too!!!

p.s. (I also have in the back of my mind, well if I really want one I can have one in seven months, and hopefully won't want one then, but at least I would only be hurting myself!) People ask me if I will start once I had the baby, and all I say is I hope not (deep down I am a smoker just one that doesn't smoke!)

also, my husband gave up too, all the more money for our little bean!

(deep down I am a smoker just one that doesn't smoke!)

Me too hun!

I gave up 14 weeks tomorrow, the day I found out I was pregnant. I just couldn't do it.......picturing my little bubba surrounded by cigarette smoke. But I think deep down I will start again when he/she's born
I'm hoping I will never smoke like I used too, but I am looking forward to a nice pint and a cigarette!

mmmmmm, pint of lager tops and a fag, heaven!!!!!!

well done everyone ive been a non smoker now for about 5 weeks and still feel like i will always be a smoker im hoping this time will be different and i wont go back to it after baby is born xxxxx

Rach you're doing really well so there's no reason why you should go back to if once baby's born...you'll be too busy to think about smoking by then anyway

 

[ToriElla]

well done x

 

[Dawny]

Well done!!

You are an inspiration to me and others, keep it up!

 

Well done girls, I need to set my quit date, am waiting till the stress of the scans etc is out the way then I want to go for it! I gave up in the end with Damien but started when he was 4 or 5 weeks old when I'd stopped expressing and he'd been in hospital. Naughty mummy!

Send me some quitting positivity!

i heard its not good to stop instantly when preg and to slowly cut down as baby will be ued to the smoke.

good luck sami, its hard work i imagin? my mum smoked with my 4 for sibblings but didnt with me. but after 25yrs of smoking she stoped jan 05 and aint looked back since

Well done evryone.

I did the same, found out I was preggers and I quit, cold turkey, no patches or Gum or anything. I have tried before and always started again afetr a few weeks, it must be my subconsious this time, I know im not just hurting myself!! I havnt even wanted one or craved one! and the double bonus is, we got back from greece in July and I have about 400 fags left in my draw and I aint even been tempted to get a packed, I think ill sell them on and make some £££££ he he he

My OH hasnt quit yet but he has cut down dramatically! he is a bugger. He hangs out of the bedroom window if Im in the living room, or the balcony doors if im in the bedroom and only has 1/2 but I can still smell it, it doesnt bother me at all, but I pretend it does so he feels guilty and hopefully quits.
