I have a confession to make..

[libs]

after my one cigarette during the stressed out time, I gradually smoked more and more until I was up to 20 a day again most days

I felt v ashamed that I was TTC and smoking. So I've stopped again, but finding it more difficult than last time - I think because last time I thought oooo I'll be pregnant next month where as this time I know that's not neccessarily the case

I can't come on the computer v much as its one of my major trigger points and although I have no cigarettes in the house it makes me want one So I won't be around much for the next few days just to give myself a fighting chance. (this could be a problem as I need to write a presentation on my computer by Monday morning )

I haven't had a cigarette since 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon

aww it is hard, before when i smoked if i was on computer and the kids were out at nursery, i used to open all windowns and puff away.. so i agree the computer doesnt help, its weird isnt it..

Well done on not having a ciggy since thursday.. keep it up girl.. you can do it..

 

[muppetmummy]

Well done for not smoking since Thursday! Thats a fantastic start! Have you tried nicotine patches? I found them a great help when I was trying to quit.
Don't be too hard on yourself, it's so easy to slip back into the trap of having one that leads to another. I've done it myself. My big problem is on nights out when I've had a few and my resistance is down.
Just try and put it behind you, there are loads of ex smokers who have done the same thing. Good luck in staying away from the fags

Using the patches atm but I react to them and at the moment I have 2 swollen arms from yesterdays so todays is on my hips and itching like mad

but omg right at this moment I would pay a million pounds for a cigarette

I got the kick up the backside from Honey we're killing the kids - she was the laziest parent ever..but managed to give up her 50 a day habit

 

[muppetmummy]

Oh no! Maybe you should try gum or an inhaler instead? The only side effect I used to get from patches was really freaky dreams.
I really wish tobacco hadn't been discovered. It's so addictive.

Well done for not having a fag since Thursday hun.

I gave up New Years Eve 2003 and haven't smoked since. I tried patches but they made me sick .

Maybe get something from the docs. Rob used to take Zyban which is a tablet that makes the fags taste even worse than they do usually LOL. They did seem to be working but he kept breaking out in sweats when he was taking them so the doc changed them for a nasel spray. That worked for a while but he has gradually started again.

Rob's Dad had Hypnosis a couple of years ago and hasn't had a fag since.

Keep at it hun, you'll get there in the end

 

[jemz24]

well done libs keep it up, you can do it

im gonna give up soon, i tried once but failed. ive tried everything nothin seems to work. its the bordem thas the problem.

hypnosis sounds good wonder how much that costs?

btw its my daughters 2nd birthday today i gave birth to her 2 hours ago oh the memories. lol

 

[skairdykat]

I think it caost Rob's dad about £80 but not sure. I'll ask him later if he calls down.

 

[trixipaws]

well done keep it up!

 

[mrs_tommo22]

You and me both libs, I was smoking when i started trying for this baby.But as soon as I found out i was pregnant i quit. I couldnt do it before though and havent touched one since.

I've bought the gum to try tomorrow - I'll keep on with the patches today tho as they give a slightly high dose and a fighting chance. I get freaky dreams with them too - and night sweats so I take them off at night - I never smoked in my sleep so why would I need nicotine then? I put it on the minute I wake up in the morning then keep myself busy for about 15 mins till it kicks in. This morning I stripped all the beds and had a wash going before I'd really woken up
Just jumped on here a min as I need to print some stuff off for the presentation.

You can't have zyban if you're TTCing apparently? I know its v effective and you tend to lose weight as well with it

Jemz - happy 2 yr anniversary of your labour day...do you do the tell the child the story of what was happening this day x number of years ago...right about now I was just holding you for the first time...etc etc. Or is that just me - my son is sooooo sick of his birth day story

[libs]

Not that I know of - just the women - as always we get the short straw

 

[puppylove]

Hey libs well done, ive never smoked so i dont know how hard it is my mum has stopped also think its about 2.5 months she says its hard some days but keep it up u have the power

 

[Babylicious]

well done libs -keep it up

 

[Melly+2]

im a bad melly, im still smoking, i know i should stop but with everything thats going on right now its the only thing that keeps me from breaking down, hugs to you hunny Im deffo gonna stop when i get pg, stopped just like that the first time doing well libs keep it up

 

[breezee1984]

hmm...seems to me like the only people who carry healthy babies r the ones who smoke a pack a day and drink a bottle of wine a day...people like me who dont do either always end up losing out...keep lighting up

 

[jenna]

 

[breezee1984]

seriously...out e=of all the people i know who have had children including my own mother smoke a pack a day and drink up a storm...have completely healthy children and my sister and i who are ttc and neither of us do either or, cant seem to have kids....i find it interesting

 

[jamiereed85]

well... i know loads of people who have never smoked or drank and have completely healthy babies... so go figure... As long as someone isn't drinking or smoking during pregnancy and have respect for their tiny baby inside, then I don't care what they do before hand.

I'm sure someone's vices have little to do with them getting pregnant...
unless their vice is sleeping around! lol
