I quit when I found out I was a 15-20prr day for nearly ten years ... I drank water and sucked mints I didn't chew gum or get patches as bby still gets nicotine then... it was tough. But just thinking of the bby made me do it... guilt more so lol..

if I eat a big meal I'm like dyin for a smoke..
the other day I went to get one till I remembered I'm pregnant.  I haven't had one in almost three weeks and I'm proud of myself :)

You should all be proud of yourselves x

I'm 22wks and I quit smoking around my 8th week I still crave smoking. I don't know if it's because my husband still smokes and chews the nicotine gum and I'm getting some of the nicotine threw him so it is not totally leaving my system but every day it's a struggle to not go and buy a pack. Hubby keeps saying that he quit and I keep catching him doing it!  :( my grandmother passed away on Thursday and he pulls this crap on me I broke down sobbing this morning cause I want one so bad. Sorry for the book.... but you are doing well its just really hard keep trying :)

just think about the day you deliver the baby and they put the baby in your arms and he or she is nice and healthy ibaby surround yourself with positive people to help you stop smoking and take up a new hobby to get your mind off of smoking... that's what I did good luck and be blessed

Everyone around me tells me I'm doing so good, and most of the time I want to tell them to shut up, lol!! I try and remember all the good things about not smoking and that I want a healthy baby.

How is the stress though? It's really hard for me, especially at work. I'm an emotional person to begin with but throw in pregnancy and nicotine cravings I sometimes go crazy.

I often think that I will go back too but I don't know if it's the nicotine cravings or if I really will. My BD hates that I smoke but it helps me cope and deal with the stress of my job.

I practically fall asleep by 8pm now!! Ever since my 2nd trimester started I'm always ready for bed early. And I eat almost every 2 hours, but I make sure its healthy. A banana, nuts, applesauce, or carrots usually. I have been losing weight though. Down 6lbs since the 13th! My doctor isn't worried though because my boy is growing right where he should be. I'm 23 +1.

I quit almost 9 days ago, the first 2 hours after I was angry and crying and just flat out scary. Every now and then I get cravings after I do things that I would normally smoke after but it's gotten easier.
