no judgement, i beg.

I'm 28 weeks, for the first time in 8 months I smoked one Newport. I've been so stressed,  and it's the only thing I could turn to. I know that's really not an excuse but I feel so horrible. planned on quiting for good, and gave in. I feel like a horrible, irresponsible mother and person. Has anyone else delt with breaking and and having a smoke. I DO NOT plan on smoking another one. I've tried so hard to steer clear.

I have never smoked but my husband did so o understand it isnt easy to quit. What he had to do was just tell him self that's im done and suck on hard candy or eat sunflower seeds. Something to keep his mouth busy so he wouldn't smoke.

There have been a few times where I almost broke down and smoked a couple. When stress builds up it is difficult to avoid a cigarette. And not a lot of people get that. When I was smoking I mainly smoked when I was stressed and so it makes it even harder. But good job for not smoking for 8 months and we all have a moment's where we break down and give in to our guilty pleasures both matter what it is.

(I meant for the days like you just had where you broke down and had one, not on a regular basis)

Like someone said above,  one sig is not going to harm the baby.  You are ok.  The only problem I see is now you had a taste for it and your will power might be weakened.  Try to day steong, possibly find an alternative.  I really don't know much about e-sigs, but it might not be a bad idea to have one of those instead of a regular sig.

Honestly w my 1st i smoked until i was 7mos not proud but i had m/c the preg before and i was so nervous and stressed all the time w stuff going on in my life in general that my dr actually told me smoking was better on the baby then me being super stressed out ... when i got pregnant this time i stopped smoking almost instantly iv gave in 3 times and im 22wks because i felt so worked up n like i was about to have a panic attack if i didnt smoke a cig .. no its not healthy but neither is stress and its not like u sat there and smoked a pack a day it was one cig .. keep ur head up and try to keep ur stress level down

I quit cold turkey as soon as I found out. My friend even bought me an electric cig and I just cant do it!!! Oh helllllll do I want it.. Yes! I was smoking a whole pack a day and about four marijuana blunts.... Quit both cold turkey hardest thing I've ever done... But don't want any oxygen big blocked for my lil ones sake..

Dont feel bad mama, one wont hurt you. :)

Thank you ladies for your advice, thank you for not judging. Knowing that I'm not the only one who went back, and I've tried so hard and just feel like I messed up one of my biggest accomplishments. I feel so bad, I hate the taste and it's giving me a headache and has made my stomach hurt.

One cig gie in 8 months will not hurt you.. I've never smoked I hate it and think it taste and smells gross but I do take hydrocodone for the pain which I was prescribed 10/325 for my serious back issues and pain and I told my skeg I was gonna stop taking them and deal with the pain a nd bam I stopped 2 months then gave in I felt bad but I just pray to God for the best and hope everything turns out fine... you will be fine just stay positive. .. maybe one chips from SONIC lol idk just try

[shanmariex3]

I am 20 weeks and quit cold turkey. At about 9 weeks. I couldn't stand the taste or smell anymore. But now I'm starting to crave them .. I have given in when extremely stressed and have smoked probably 5 since I quit. It tastes awful and makes me feel so guilty, I need to stop doing it. My hormones are causing me and my boyfriend to argue a lot and it calms me down. So I understand where you are coming from, but we definitely need to find a healthier release!

I smoke and am yet to give up finding it too hard. But my doctor advised not to give up only cut down as your putting you body through stress as it is. I plan on doing stoptober so hopefully as from then I'll be smoke free. My job is so darn stressful though feel like I need some sort of stress relief.

Try not to smoke for your babies health

[victoriamichelle1010]

Ive never smoked cigarettes, and as my bf likes to point out, i dont understand the process of quitting. And im not judging. I just want to tell you that you did a good thing quitting in the first place, going back is common when you have stress, just know that the stress wont go away. There will always be something there to make you stress out. I would try to find something that can relieve stress for you that wknt harm the baby in any way. But congrats on quitting and congrats on your little one!
