I have given up as of the New Year lol
and so far I'm not finding it to bad, don't wanna speak too soon though!
So far I'm finding the habit to give up, rather than the nicotine
But I have a good reason to give up which is motivating me atm!
Good luck with it hunni!

I use to smoke. I stopped in October when I found out I was pregnant. I smoked 2 packs a day. I stopped cold turkey. Whenever I get cravings(which I don't anymore) I eat sunflower seeds. It helped alot. Now I don't even have the urge to smoke.
when i had my first baby 6 years ago i smoked about 10 cigerettes per day and i found it very hard to give up even with the help of my GP, i managed to cut down to around 5 per day through my pregnancy and had the most guilty feeling everythime i lit one but no matter what i done or thought in my head i just couldnt kick it completely, when i feel pregnant this time round i was smoking about 15-20 per day, when i found out i was preggers i knew i couldnt continue with that amount and have cut it down to 5-8 per day which i know is still bad and it makes me cry that i cannot kick it out of my life, i dont like smoking and hate the fact that im carrying my beautiful daughter and that i still cant completly stop it for her sake iv tried everything, patches, chewing gum , will power NHS smoking helpline and GP but i just cant do it, im due to have my daughter on the 14th of this month (10 days from now) and would love some advise also from u ladies how i can still try and give up as i dont want to smoke anymore and i dont want both my kids influenced into doing it when they grow up, pls dont gudge me for still smoking during my pregancy as so many people have i really need support and advise from this site and feel so ASHAMED to even be addmittting this, pls help x
I smoked before i found out i was pregnant but have stopped now. I suppose in a way i'm lucky. I'm suffering quite badly with all day sickness and haven't smoked in about 2 weeks nor do i have any desire to the thought and the smell of it just turns me
I smoke, well im quitting but I stopped when I first found out i was preggo but then thought i miscarried so started again, now i found out yesterday that im still preggers, so no more fags. xx it'll be bloody hard though, but worth it!
i quit a week after i found out i was pregnant, i haven't smoked for two weeks now and i feel great, things that helped...
my boss told me i was being selfish, i knew i was.
my fiance doesn't smoke and he has asthma which i was worried would affect the baby,
morning sickness helped, feels horrible but everytime i see a fag i feel sick,
everyone stinks of fags, which makes me urge, i can smell it everywhere, knowing that i don't smell like that makes me feel great!
my nails aren't yellow and i know my baby is getting the oxygen that it needs to grow at the correct rate.
just keep telling yourself that you are harming your baby with every drag you take the first few days are the worst but once you stop the sickness will take over and you wont wanna smoke again! (during pregnancy)
you would never forgive yourself if ne thing bad happened, and there are plenty of women that want to be preggers and they cant, think of what they would do. that helped me. ALOT!
hope it helps you too x x x x x
