I used to smoke...I ranged from like 20 a day to 2 or 3 a day. I cut down loads in the past year though. I stopped as soon as I found out I was pregnant.

Its not easy AT ALL but definately worth doing. At least cutting down, if you cant stop altogether.

My midwife told me about a group called Fresh Air Babies which is basically like astopping smoking support group for pregnant women,.maybe theres something like that in your area?

ugh, smoking..
i still smoke, quit for awhile before i found out i was pregnant but now the horrible habit has brought itself back into my life!
I found a book very very useful which apparently has a 98% success rate, if you don't quit smoking by the end of the book it's your money back guaranteed.
So what have you got to lose right?
It's called Alan Carr's Easyway to quit smoking. The only reason I'm still smoking is with my pregnancy memory I misplaced it and can't seem to figure out WHERE!? Hope it helps!

If you can get over the first 3 days i think it is, then you break the addiction. After that, it is ALL habit and mentality.

Don't mean to be rude, but i dont understand how that wouldn't make it easier. I know i dont smoke and everything, but there is nothing i wouldn't do for my unborn child even if it took all the will power in the world. I hope you all find the strength to quit!

I agree totally with the above. Its a fact that you are depriving your baby of oxygen.

I don't think I should even start on this thread......

Smoking is bad when you're killing yourself
Smoking is worse when you're putting your baby in danger

and that's all I have to say on the matter.

This thread is shocking... I can't believe ANY mother would continue to smoke while pregnant... Im amazed to be honest..

I don't let anyone even smoke NEAR me and to be honest everyone has been clued up enough to know to leave the room and go outside to smoke..

I wouldn't care how 'hard' it would be, I'd stop, nothings to hard when it comes to your unborn babies health..

I gave up in september knowing we were going to start TTC in Jan.

I couldnt continue to smoke knowing the harm I would be doing to my baby. Every time I got a craving I would remind myself of the future baby I would have, that was enough to stop me!

I agree smoking is bad enough when you're not pregnant. I cant see how anyone could do this to their child, surely any mom would want to give their child the best chance of a healthy start to life as possible.
Come on gals grab your will power and give up!!!
