Smoking

I was smoking about a half a pack a day when I found out that i was pregnant. DH would give me 4 smokes a day then we would share one at night after dinner. Then every week it would get dropped down by one then they were gone.It only took a month to quit and it wasnt hard when its dropped that slowley. Good luck and hope you find something that helps you quit.

for me it was easy, i would think about exactly what i was doing to the baby every time i was outside smoking, and it litterally made me sick. i was able to quit in like a week. good luck, it is such a hard thing to do.

When I found out I cut down a lot and then after a month I had quit completely!

i found out that i am 5 weeks pregnant a few days ago. i am about a pack and a half a day smoker my body is naturally weening me off cigarattes by making me naseaous or by making me cough till i gag. i am just trying to pay attention to the signs my body is giving me and letting it quit on its own.

Make yourself a goal of being done within 1-2 weeks and reduce every day. however much you are smoking now, smoke two less...tomorrow smoke 1 or 2 less than that and so on.

If you want to, you will. Have something small (an amethyst worry stone is EXCELLENT for this) to hold onto in your hand and play with that when you "want" for a smoke. Think about the reasons you want to quit and how much better off you and your baby will be.

Because you are making this positive choice for yourself and your life, you are not only protecting their heatlh, you are also reducing the chances that your child will smoke, too. It's great!
