Smoking.

[B1128]

My boyfriend quit when we found out we were pregnant. He quit with me. Now he's smoking again, has been for about two months. Honestly, I feel like ripping my hair out some days because I want one so badly. It takes everything in me to not grab one an hide it for a day when he is working. It was different when we quit together. But I just don't feel strong enough most days lately. And I want one so badly, it's a lot harder then it should be. I feel like I'm going to snap.

I feel less and less strong almost every day. I have no outlet anymore.

I thought my fiance was going to quit with me too but he wouldnt slow down or anything so i gave up thinking he was going to and i decided i could be stronger thn tht i quit at 14 weeks i smoked lights for a month with tar bars and it made it so much easier to quit

The smell still bothers me, and I really don't want to smell like that again. Going in and out of stores bothers me because they're inconsiderate about where they put their ashtrays, and people who smoke generally don't care. I was that way when I smoked, I didn't think about others as much as I should of. As a nonsmoker the smell of cigarettes bothers me. But it doesn't stop me from wanting one. I don't know that mine will quit, I doubt it really. But he will be washing his hands and changing his shirt before holding the baby. I don't want her smelling like that and wish she wouldn't even have to smell it at all. It honestly pisses me off that he will spend five-ten dollars a week on cigarettes but God for bid something is needed around the house that he can't buy without fixing it temporarily until we actually have to replace or buy something and it's worse then before.

Im having the same issue, my an my other half both quit at when i got pregnant. He did good for about 3 months but then started again an it drives me insane, at first the smell made me sick so it didn't bother me cause i didn't want one at all. But now i crave them an the smell doesn't mess with me anymore so ill catch myself fantasizing about having one when I've had a rough day. He swears hes going to quit before the baby comes, i hope he does cause i don't wanna start smoking again after i have her.

I put the cigarette between my lips but never light it! It works so great! It sounds funny but I just pretend to light it and bam the cravings gone. I'm going through the same thing hehe hope this helps

Try something to help with it. I suffer from depression, anxiety, add and as much as I want to go back on my meds I dont! I think of my baby. It's no longer about us anymore. Goodluck

I am actually 35 weeks today. And once we found out, which I was almost two months along at the time, we quit instantly. We too, were pot smokers as well as cigarettes. He can't smoke pot because of his job, but I know he would be if he could. It's extremely hard for me to not do it, only some days. I couldn't imagine how I would feel if he were smoking pot, that was my enjoyment, my release from everything, it helped with my anxiety and put things into perspective for me.

I don't know, I'm just thankful I'm not the only one out there that feels this way. It was a lot easier for me when we were both not smoking, but because he is it is very difficult for me. I've come this far without anything, and my baby is most important to me, which is why I haven't given in.. Even when sometimes I think I could, but the paranoia and the guilt I would feel if I were to give in, would not be worth it. And it would be a whole lot worse then the feeling I feel occasionally, and my.. I guess disappointment? I feel when he is smoking or buying a pack. I don't know, I feel like a lot of the feelings come from not being able too. Actually, for choosing not too.

I just don't always feel strong enough to say no. But I guess I am sense I have continued to choose not too.

I know how you feel! I was just like 1sttimemommy23, before I got pregnant me and my boyfriend smoked pot all day every day. I quit the second I found out but my boyfriend still smokes. It's been about 5 months and I still crave it so bad. I also had to quit cigarettes cold turkey but I didn't smoke cigs that much. Just hang in there you can do it. You'll probably never stop wanting to smoke but it does get better over time. Just keep thinking this is what's best for your baby. Being a good mother starts the second you find out your pregnant, not just after the baby is born.

I'm not the only one! I also quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant but my fiance still does. He never smokes around me, which is fine but I always think about taking one of his cigs while he's sleeping after I've had a rough day. I always talk myself out of it though thank God. It's not worth it.

[1stTimeMommy23]

Damn I know how you feel. My hubby and I were daily pot smokers, all day everyday, except work hours but even then I would take smoke breaks at work. I quit because I got pregnant. He never stopped so imagine how hard that is :( just think of your baby every time to get the urge. Its what I do. I know its really hard but I don't want to loose my baby to cps so I find the strength to get through it one day at a time. :D good luck, u can do it! Its been two months already, why set yourself back!

Talk to him and tell him how you feel and i suggest chewing some gum or having some hard candy or something in your mouth to have you not wanna smoke.

Ask him not to smoke around and when at home to go outside and carry some mints on him so you dont smell the smoke off his breath,i know how hard it is to give up but stay strong and best of luck with it
