Smoking In Pregnancy

[Belle23]

All I literally did was everytime I blew the smoke out I imagined my baby breathing it out . Every time I took a drag I imagined my baby doing the same. It really works. I smoked from 14 to 26 and gave up 2 days after finding out and with that image it went very quickly. Xx

Good luck giving up ladies xx

I'm really glad to read you understand the damage it can cause and that you really want to give up. You don't have to wait for your 12 weeks scan for an incentive though hon as you baby should be that but you already know that

I really think with your willingness to already give up with the help from your gp/mw you can give up completely. Good luck.

Xxxxx

My MW actually pulled out a breathaliser type thing yesterday. It measures carbon monoxide in your system. They do it routinely on everyone. My level was ) (I'm a non smoker) but she sais whatever your reading, twice as much poison goes to your baby. I think its a really good thing and hope that MW's all over the uk do this in the near future x

I saw those on a pregnancy show i used to watch, loads of the girls used to not smoke for that one day they have the appointment thinking it will cheat the test but it failed them every single time and showed just how much poison they were giving their baby! And this was after a full day of not smoking... so it goes to show just how long the poison stays in your system...and your baby.

Hey just saw your post! I had gone down to 1 a day so thought if I could do that then why couldn't I just give up? So its been a little while now and its hard but just keeping thinking its all worth it for a healthy baby and should have my first scan soon so that will be so exciting! Thanks ladies xx

Well done!! Its totally worth it in the end. I know it's so hard, I still crave a smoke a couple of times a day and just try and distract myself when it happens.

Well done xxxx

Excellent well done babe! X

 

[Clairabella]

Well done. I have never smoked but I can imagine it's tough to stop.

ialso never smoked and I would think it would be best togive up before ttc but then again if people fell pregnant (before quitting)is is always great to stop while being pregnant. there must be something for you to help you but I would say even one cigarette is bad and makes it harder to not be tempted to do it again. is cold turkey an idea.sorry no real pointers because I never did that but just waned to say good luck for you and all the ladies in the same situation

YOU SHOULD JUST STOP!
I stopped as soon as i took a pregnancy test. I could not get over how immoral it was to poison my unborn child. I would never be able to look them in the eye if they ever asked me if i was selfish enough to carry on smoking when i knew i was carrying them. Or how terrible i would feel if something happend to them because of my habit. If you want your baby safe and well. Stop right now. Your hormones should be kicking in and even the thought of a cigarette should make you feel queasy. Did for me.
You shouldnt need a scan to stop you, You are perfectly aware you have this tiny little life you created inside of you. You need to protect them. They did not asked to be conceived.
I hope this really makes you think.
Think how bad fags are for us alone, How on earth is a tiny baby who is just trying to grow lungs and a tiny beating heart and all there other organs, going to stand a chance against those faggy chemicals?
Please go to see your GP, Ask them to help you stop smoking.
Not for you, For your little baby.
