Any other mommy's having a hard time quitting ? As much as I tell myself I need to stop, I just can't do it.

I dont smoke. Never have. Never will. Not judging just saying.. be careful how you try to stop. Certian things you do will put stress on your baby.. and will be harder on the baby then to just keep smoking. But i personally dont like smoking..because the smell.. and effects. So id take that into concideration..  for you and the baby before you continue.. i think that would help me(: good luck!

Ok i think you need to not be like that! Its so much harder for some people to quit and its not beig selfish. Also quiting cold turkey is worse for the baby so if you are gonna be rude and call her selfish you should just leave her alone. She needs support not judgment

I've been a serious smoker for years but now it makes me sick and I hate the smell so it was easy for me.

Words of advice! I quit cold turkey when i found out, i dont reccommend this as it could cause stress to your baby.
It only takes 3 weeks of no smoking for cravings to subside (;
Stay positive, i never thought i could do it

I have tried just about everything to help me quit and still haven't. It's tough with my family and how certain members are and pregnancy just seems to make it worse now. I'm down to a couple a day and the only thing that actually keeps me from smoking is not having any on me or having the money to be able to buy a pack.
