As excited and in happy as i am this pregnancy was unexpected and so my "stop smoking now" as well... I always thought i would quit if i ever got pregnant but here i am, sitting a finding a way to not smoke another one :/
My bf smokes and even though he doesn't smoke around me i feel like at leastbhe should be more understanding of how hard quitting is, i feel horrible hiding it from him i feel horrible that i cant stop...
I lost my job so im here looking at 4 walls everyday, i smoke more at night because in the mornings i walk my dog i do a lot, right not i found prenatal pilates but im hoping i can stop before im due or even before my third trimester.
I eat well i walk everyday for about 20 mins im pretty active i take my vitamins but the stress of quitting makes it harder and harder ( forgot to mention midwife dont know i smoke)
Worse its when i search for quitting smoking and all i read is people saying the placenta can tell i smoke and blah blah i get more stress knowing i can loose my bf for my stupid addiction and danger my baby as well..
Can someone talk to me please, i really need some help i want to quit..
How much do you smoke? I guess I'm not the best person to ask because I don't smoke enough to be really addicted and can quit when I want to...it was easy for me when I was pregnant. Good luck!
Today i had one cig which im happy and proud of since i could have smoke more. Im hoping this is my last my grandparents are coming to visit us so thats going to keep me busy and not thinking about smoking.

Does your bf know you smoke? You said he smokes too, so I don't understand when you say that you could " loose my bf for my stupid addiction".

I guess my advice would be to cut back when you can, but don't stress out over not being able to stop completely. Stress is definitely not good, especially from trying to quit when your hormones are already going crazy because of the pregnancy. It sounds like you've cut out a lot anyway, going from 20 a day to 7 or even 1.
Hopefully your bf doesn't smoke around you. That's always a trigger for me. If someone else around me is enjoying a smoke, then I have to light up too.

Hi tiffany, no he doesn't know and i think that has upset me alot as well, since it was really easy for him to tell me not to smoke but he never quit.

Im so sad and destroy i know many dont understand whats to lose a pet but i feel a very big part if me has died ...

I been smoking for 7 years and pretty heavy. I never though of quitting, until July when i sae the positive test. At first i did quit and then i started again. I feel bad because i was smoking a lot and although i know it shouldnt be an excuse my situation is very stressful.
My friend used to smoke when she was pregnant her son came healthy but since he was 2 he was showing some type of behavioral issues, now that he is in school he is behind and they think he has asperger syndrome, i dont know if that is related to her smoking while she was pregnant with him, but i get so scared.
Everytime i google stuff about pregnancy and smoking i read about the midiwfes being able to tell by the placenta, or if the baby is crying because of the withdrawl, although i took a long ass time lol to quit i was for 3 days without cigs until today that my cat died and sadly i had to see the horrific scene .. I feel i cant cope..
I just dont want my baby to go on withdrawl and stuff like that i feel weak for not stopping..
Quoting vikki420:Hey! First of all CONGRATS that youre preg... Im preg myself and in the same situation: Ive been smoking for quite a long time (since I was 10 actually) and I really love my cigs. To be honest, I know I wouldnt be able to quit, thats why I didnt even try... but Ive a friend who already has two kids, she smoked with both and they are 100% healthy. So maybe its way too stressful if you try to quit...!?
How many do you smoke?
Quoting vikki420:Oh sorry for your cat... And believe me I know what it means to have a stressful situation. Im living in foster care, just had to switch to another family half a year ago, so no "real" parents around... just those foster parents who wont care about anything except the money they get from CPS for hosting me.
i really need my smoking to relax and I can totally understand why you need your cigs too.
Ive no idea if theres a relation between asperger and smoking but i hardly believe. i think quitting smoking - esp if you are a heavy smoker too - is also not good for your baby because shes gonna feel that her mom is not happy.
and dont let people tell you that youre a bad mom because you smoke!
How many weeks are you? Do you know what you having?
Quoting vikki420:Well thats not fair - he smoking heavy and you trying to quit... I would freak out!
Thats another reason why I couldnt quit even if I was up to it myself... my foster parents smoke and the two other girls living here also smoke. so smoke everywhere and no cigs for me? noooo that wont work!
I smoke about 20 per day... sometimes less (if i dont have any), sometimes more (if i have good supply).
Quoting Tangie16:
Nobody knows i smoke, and that makes me feel worse. My boyfriend smoke heavy and it has upset me this whole time that he think its easy to tell me to quit because he doesnt have to you know. I feel bad because he sometimes brings the subject about me not smoking and how proud he is, and like you said its not like im a bad mom i just dont know how to cope, although i been doing really good today i just lost it i guess..

My grandparents are coming for the holidays today as excited as i am to see them i feel so sad about what happen today.
When i was 7 weeks i started to have morning sickness without vomiting which im thankful since im one of those who hates vomiting, i still have the ocassional nausea and now because she moves so much my heartburn its horribleee, some days im fine but others like yesterday i was crying i felt so sick to my stomach..
Im trying to not cry so much about my cat but i cant help it.. My bf doesnt come until 11pm and i have all these memories stuck in my head
Btw have you read about the placenta while smoking?
Quoting vikki420:I think its way too stressful for you to try quitting... rather be relaxed and have your smokes! Its not weak at all!
Dont know what im having, wanna keep this a surprise... my due date is Jun 1... so still a long way to go. But i like being pregnant, except the morning sickness..!
