mommys that used to smoke or still do...

My ob told me not to quit cold Turkey that it could do more harm than good. I slowly cut down each day. By the time I was 8 months I quit. Of course I was a heavy 1 1/2 almost 2 pack a day smoke. My advice for u ask ur ob wuts good for u n baby. Gl.

I didn't quit smoking until now, preg with my 3rd baby. I quit for about 2months with my first b/c I couldn't stand the taste or the smell, but I started right back up again. I was able to cut back. I gradually quit smoking with this pregnancy. I took away one cig per week from my routine. Pretty soon I was at 1 a day, and then 1 every other day. Now I don't even crave it. You will crave it more if u try to quit cold turkey. It was impossible for me to quit cold turkey. I'm very glad I quit. I not only did it for my unborn child, I did it for myself and my kids. I was a smoker for 13yrs. My dh still smokes and I cant stand how he just reeks of it now.

I sadly have not quit, idk noone around me wants me to because im"a crazy bitch" without cigs :( im vary disappointed in myself for smoking but will try patches when i have my baby.

I quit the day I found out. I was already 4mo along. I wanted to quit though, and had been trying. I really just needed that extra push to help me out. The only time I smoked while I was pregnant was if I was so stressed that I knew my stress level would do more damage than the one cig. I am BFing now and I am trying SOOOO hard not to go back, but ugh it is hard!! I have been smoking 1 a night when I am at work and that is it. I refuse to buy a pack cuz I know its over if i do lol

I quit as soon as I found out I was pregnant (5 weeks). I quit cold turkey and it was hard but I told myself that I could and would do it bc it was best for my baby. I would never want to see my child in any situation that was dangerous to his health, and I couldn't imagine the thought of me being the one putting him in this unhealthy situation. My personal opinion is that if you set your mind to it, it can be done.

I quit when I was prego trying really hard not to start back up after

What are the side effects if you smoke while pregnant?

I don't smoke but I am curious to know if y'all smoke around ppl or do you do it in private? I wouldn't be able to take the judgemental stares of everyone.

I am not a smoker but I Thought it was so sad to see pregnant moms smoking. Again ,not passing judgement but I just think it looked "bad".

I cut down a lot. There are days that I don't even have one. But I haven't been able to quit completely.

I cut down to like 1-3 a day with my first DD. My second I quit completely because whee made me SO sick I really just couldn't stand them. Not doing so great this time around.
I have tried and tried but I've been smoking for 12 years now. Most days I can keep it down to a few a day but when I try to go without completely I get headaches, shaky, extremely bitchy, and I feel like something is crushing my chest. (Ironic, I know NOT smoking makes it hard to breathe.)
I will smoke in public, I don't give a shit what anyone thinks of me because they don't know me. I don't smoke in front of my mom...but I don't do that much really even when I'm not pregnant. Not worth the nagging.

I felt guilty smoking while preg and they tasted funny, i quit the day i found out i was preg w dd
