Also, i quit at around 7 weeks fully, and i am now 37 weeks and m extreamly proud of myself. Its a really good feeling to know that you were strong enough in the end. This last stretch has been a challenge but i keep telling myself that i dont have much longer before i can start smoking again.

Been a smoker myself for years, a long time ago though i made a vow that if i ever found out i was pregnant i would quit. I kept telling myself it wasnt fair to the baby, and if i can smoke while baby is in the womb then when theyre born its pretty much as if i were to sit there and blow smoke in their face. It was hard, ive read it takes around a month of no smoking for cravings to subside,  also meditation is also very good. Very healthy for your mind too. Just find a quiet spot, it helps a lot with stress and just focus on your breathing and just get lost in it. Good luck i hope this helps!

I managed to convince myself i would get physically sick if I smoked alsp try mint gum and chew a new piece when the current piece completely loses flavor.

Drink ice cold water when you crave and still take your five mins... sit were u usually smoke and drink your water..

Also each time you crave Google "effects of smoking to fetus'

I quit immediately because the guilt was too much lol . You can do it...
I'm off them since 5weeks wen I found out. . I'm 19weeks today and I can't stand the smell of cigs lol..
I smoked 15/20 a day for 10 yrs!
