Yep! Consultant phoned me back last Friday and told me he was willing to do op under a general. Phew, makes me feel so much better. He was worried about using a general before because i smoked. I know you are all probably turning your nose up at me now because i smoke and i dont blame you. I know its no excuse but with all the stress i've had in my life i've never been able to give up. But thats all changed now! Today is the day i have given up smoking. Woke up this morning feeling very confident and have not had a cigarette. Threw out all lighters, cigarettes and ashtrays. More determined than ever to do this. I've never been this long without a fag and i dont seem to be too bad.

No way would most turn their nose up!!!

Most of us have been there or there are a coupl eof girls who were wise enough to never pick a ciggy up! I smoke I've been trying to quit for agers or at least cut down & with all going on I have no will power! The want yes but it's not enough!

I'm so glad its not just me then! I was so embarrased telling everyone i used to smoke because i felt so ashamed but even that wasnt enough to stop me. I'm determined to do it this time though. Dp has been very very supportive and has decided to give up too, although he didnt smoke as much as me. Tonight will be the test though, when he comes home from work. Once we've had dinner we'll have to go for a walk or something, either that or kill each other!

Not at all after our journey you'd think I'd wind my neac in! I too can feel really ashamed esspecially at first when I started joining pregnancy message boards but theres so many of us that have been or are there! Allan Carrs book says a woman smoker will turn her nose up at a pregnanct woman smoker but soon finds herself in the same situation!!
My OH smokes but like you he smokes nowhere nr what I do in fact he won't touch a fag until late evening unless we are out or drinking!

I've tried to order a smoking program this morning but there checkout is being an ass with me so I've meailed them!

My doctor has told me to use the patches. Not as good as giving up completely when ttc but as she said, its only putting nicotine in your body and not all the other rubbish they put in fags. I keep telling myself, i dont need a fag cos i've got a patch on! Might sound silly but its working!

Wobbles

No I used patches & have a gd handful left just we kept finding em stuck to everything I tried the mini tabs but OMG they annoy me so badly!! They hardly disolve & I end up sitting there thinking I'd rather have a fag this is SO annoying!!

ElliesMum

Ha ha! Wil keep you informed how i'm getting on. Going to paint my bedroom ceiling now! Anything to keep busy!!!

Wobbles

Oh it sjust amazing how spotless your house will be

Good luck x

Thats what dp said! He's frightened he's gonna come home from work each day to a different colour paint! We wont be saving any money not smoking, it'll all go on paint!!!
