I smoke regularly, about up to 10 a day, but until recently in my pregnancy where i have been experiencing some morning sickness and just feeling sick in general, ive stopped smoking because it makes me feel ill. Guess morning sickness does have some uses even though its horrible!!
I smoked for 5 years before I found out I was pregnant with our daughter. I was on about 20 a day and when I went out for the night I'd have about 40 sometimes!
However, when I found out I was pregnant I couldn't do it anymore. I just gave up that day. I don't even remember even craving a cigarette after that really. I knew I wouldn't let myself smoke so I think I just accepted that.
After I had my daughter I smoked a little bit when we went out with friends but never when I knew I was going to hold her soon afterwards.
Then I got pregnant with my little boy and stopped again. I never really went back to smoking after I had him, maybe one or two but no where's near the amount I was having before. So it's been easy to stop this time. I really don't think I'll start again after this pregnancy. I obviously don't need them so I'm not going to even think about it.
I smoked before Alex, but when I was pregnant I tried my hardest to stop, eventually when i was about 4 months stopping completley. I've only had a handful since having him, which im quite happy about as I used to smoke between 15 and 20 a day.
Congratulations on stopping! I stopped at around 3 - 3 1/2 months pregnant. Glad I did, too! Wobbles is right, some people can stop right away others can't, good luck with quitting though!
