Gatorade

I quit. the moment I suspected pregnancy. I find the idea of hurting my baby more stressful than not having the cig.

good for you xx

me too. I couldnt possibly now.


I mean - I dont get how anyone could put a cigarette to a babies mouth?! It's ish the same if you ask me. And it's ESPECIALLY rubbish when young pregnant girls smoke - girls who've not have a 20 year habit to contend with.

yes we do know it is hard. But it's as hard as we make it. It's about choosing. I choose not to smoke. We've just got to get real with ourselves. Not make excuses "oooh it's too hard......."
We can do anything we want..We're going to be mothers - we need to be strong, not weak...quitting smoking is one of the easier things we can do. Climbing everest, finding a cure for AIDS, overcoming cancer, coping with the loss of a parent - now there are real challenges.

and there ends my rant. phew!

Good luck! I really hope it happens for you - quitting will help both your chances of conceiving and making it past the 12 week milestone, and will give your LO the best possible start in life.

Wow, some of the responses on this thread are upsetting

I smoked for 12 years, I smoked through out my first pregnancy as I was unable to completely quit, but did cut back to 2-5 smokes a day. I smoked in this one up until almost 2 months ago and I've haven't had a cigg since. This is the longest time I've EVER gone without a cigg. I'm damn proud of that thank you very much, so sorry I was unable to quit at the beginning of my pregnancy but its not as easy as some of you think.

Yes, we are pregnant but the addiction is too hard for some people to fight. Yes you would think that for our child it could be easily stopped but for some people its NOT. EVERYONE is different, some people have more will power than others. Its not fair to assume just because someone did it from day to night that everyone else can. Frankly, I'm disgusted at the nonsupporting remarks in this thread. We are here to give others support and not put them down because they don't live up to your expectations.

Anywho, turning my hormones off . I wish all of you trying to quit good luck and I hope you can do it. Also would like to say kudos to the ones that have cut back, you're trying and thats all that matters.

Jenny the fact that you've gone the last few months without smoking most certainly is something to be proud of - very proud!

Don't let unsupportive posts upset or anger you - just ignore them. I don't think that they are posted through malace - more through ignorance; a lack of understanding.

Some people simply can't understand how strong an addiction can be, and it is hard for them to see how some women can continue to smoke because of this knowing that it is harming their baby. It can be frustrating and upsetting for some to see that people continue to smoke during their pregnancies as they simply don't understand. A few outbursts are only to be expected in a controversial thread like this one - just ignore them and coninue to support the other women on here who are trying to give up.

Hope this makes you feel a bit better anyway
