I'm trying to stop smoking. Well.... I have been trying, and then I stopped trying when other things in my life got a bit crappy a few weeks ago.
My OH and I have smoked for years and enjoyed our cigs. He stopped almost a year ago when we started thinking about planning a family (but not trying for one at that point). I tried to stop too and failed.
I keep thinking that once I get a BFP then I'll stop because it wont be 'for me' it'll be 'for the baby', but I'm not sure I'll have the will power to stick to it.
In the last few years two of my friends have had babies, both smokers. One smoked cigs and the occasional joint through out her pregnancy, the other stopped but had the occasional puff, and has started smoking again now the baby is born (but never in the house or round her baby). The first seems unfussed about having cigs (although she acknowleges she really should not be having weed) and the other racked herself with guilt the whole time.
Both had their babies early (the first friend has always had her babies early, the second friend was induced because she's diabetic) and both had a few problems with their baby's health as a result. Both babies are perfectly fine and healthy now though.
What I want to know is: is being pregant enough of a boost to get people's will power working, and if I was to slip up and have the odd fag, how much damage would I be doing?
