Smoking

[charlene09]

I'm in the same boat as you Rosie's Mummy , I ask OH to give up smoking ( so we have a better chance of conceiving) and he says I can't i'm too addicted, He dosen't even try , He did say yesterday though that he was going to go to the doctors and start the stop smoking medication so I suppose I am rather pleased with him for the time being

With my first 2 pregnancy's i quit smoking as soon as i got my BFP, no problems or cravings just stopped, but as soon as i finish breast feeding i take them back up again. With this pregnancy i found it soooooo hard, my son was only 8 weeks old when i got my BFP so i had only just started smoking again and i was enjoying it.

I am ashamed to admit that until i was 22 weeks i was still having the odd ciggy but i have managed to kick them now. I had a lady from the NHS come to my house once a week and help me, i used nicotein gum to help me. I still crave terribly and i will be straight back on the fags once baby is out. I feel bad that it took me so long to quit but i am also proud that i managed it in the end. Good luck sweety xx

Well done getting down to the one a day, hope that you can finally kick that last one. I think changing your patterns helps, like if you usually have one after food try and do something else. Also reading up on the internet about the effects is good. I would also let your partner read the stuff as well, so when you might be really craving he can remind you of all the bad stuff.
I quit at the very start, and I know now if I had a cheeky one and my OH caught me, well, he would go insane.

Compared to a few years ago, our babies are so lucky with the smoking ban now. To think people could smoke in any restaurant or pub sat right next to you!

Last time I was pregnant, if I was going to a shop and a friend asked me to get her her cigs, I'd be so embarrassed with a bump buying them. I'd do this whole act of 'Oh, which brand did she say she has, hmmm' So they knew they weren't for me!
