I understand that smoking is an addictive habit, both physically and emotionally - but after the first two days, the physical addiction is gone, and the rest is mental.
It's about changing your mentality, and looking at smoking in a different perspective. I remember, a week after I'd quit, I was like... "I CAN SMELL AGAIN! HALLELUJAH!" That's a lot more helpful than moaning and groaning about how shitty it feels not to have a cig in your mouth. I mean, it DOES feel really crappy, but you're also saving your and your baby's health, and that's just awesome!
Sticking positive and sure about your decision to quit is KEY, believing and KNOWING you can quit is also key. Everyone is capable of the same things. We can all quit, and there is no better drive than your own lovely little one.
So really, keep at it, don't stop trying and cutting down, all of you ladies. Don't set limits on yourself because you CAN do it. It's tough but so worth it in the end, believe me.
I don't smoke,but usually when me and my friends go out or go to starbucks or any other caffe it would bother me so much when someone around me would have a smoke.Now that I'm pregnant I finally have a reason to ask them to put it out.It's the best thing ever!
im also struggling to stop, sometimes i can go a couple of days without but i always go back! i smoked through my other pregnancies and they are well BUT i do feel guilty every time i light up and it makes it harder that pregnant women cant use the nicorette things!
good luck and if u find something that works let me know
I have smoked since I was VERY VERY young. I quit with my first pg, just quit. It seemed simple. When I mc I lit up before I left the hospital (can't even smoke in the parking lot, but no one stopped the crazy lady with the splotchy face) Now I am just TTC again and I can't seem to give it up. What is wrong with me? Any suggestions?

i wish i could help but im struggling too!!!
i'd appreciate help tho 2 if n e one has n e ideas!
i tried accupuncture but it didnt work for me! saying that it might just be me so maybe u should give it a go??
Do you ever just get so tired of people judging you for smoking? This guy at market made me cry after the mc saying I killed my baby. But I didn't smoke after found out I was pg and tons of people have smoked and had healthy babies.
Why are people so cruel,it's none of their business!
