No not at all hun, its normal to feel different as your hormones are all over...and as for the smoking thing..obviously you are going the right way towards quitting because you have cut down...well done....I have the same problem with people getting on at me about my not eating enough...some days you will feel strong against them others you will want to kill them Just remember its not them its you, try to enjoy your 9 months

u bound to feel stressed its just your hormones. the smoking congrats on cuttin down. i smoked durin my first pg my OH hated it. but i did cut to one a day, but i was stressing out compleatly which was not good. so had 5 a day.
loads of ppl do it so dont worry. i still gave birth to a healthy 7lb 7oz lil girl with no medical problems at all.

Hi

Im about 6 weeks too and i feel exactly the same! Had a really bad weekend cos I feel so low and can't be bothered doing anything!! It doesn't sound like you're smoking a lot and if it helps you then it can't be all bad!!

I've got my first midwife appt tomorrow so im hoping that will cheer me up a bit!

Keep your chin up, hope you feel better x x x

I've really been down this past week.. don't know if its becuz i've totally given up smoking or its my hormones.... yesterday.. i smacked my head on my wardrobe.. usually i would just laugh this off.. but i actually lay on the bed crying..... how sad!!!!!

Well done with cutting down the smoking. I bet it has been hard. I think you are doing the right thing by cutting down. If you stopped altogether too fast, you would be putting your self through so much stress.

Well done, keep it up. xxx

Dont worry hon, its just your hormones etc., dont worry what other people think it is none of their business, just one thing to be aware of, cutting down cigarettes is really really difficult because it causes constant nicotine cravings, which totally mess with your head and are not to be underestimated, quitting altogether is nearly easier, well hard for a few days but then easier overall, I learnt that the hard way!

Good luck, enjoy your pregnancy

Thanks ladies :] made me feel alot better about things. Iv had 2 cigs today :] iv been up since 9am too. proud of myself!
Any ways to keep me occupied and not think about cigs, i know baby shopping would take my mind off it but its too early yet, soo tempting.

Thanks again
