Smoking

Alright I have to fess up here. Well , I
know how terrible smoking is during ur
pregnancy and all but I stopped today for
a whole day fromthe time I woke up I did
not smoke and I will not either!!! I am
probably close to 3 months but not sure I
see the doc for the 1st time on jan 27th.
I feel real guilty. I am only 20 but
started smoking at like 12. I know this
baby is a blessing. I want to have a
healthy baby. And now I need to stop
being so selfish. I read on many websites
that if u stop before ur 4th month, ur
chances of having a low birth weight baby
ect.... Drop dramatically. I really need
all of your support so please stay on my a
s s lol! I wont give up either. 2morrow
is day 2 . They say after 3 days the
cravings are all gone and that its all in
ur head from there. Talk to u all soon.

When I got pregnant I hated the smell,
even the look of cig's. They made me
sick. I did smoke but like after I
started having morning sickness and stuff
I just couldnt stand the smell. Even now
I can't, and i'm all done with sickness
like that and stuff. Unfortunatly my
boyfriend and his family smokes...

I quit smoking when I found out I was
pregnant. I smoked one right after I
found out the test was positive but threw
the rest out and havent picked one up
since. It was unbearably hard seeing that
I live with smokers, so I resulted in
locking myself up in my room all day and
bringing everything edible from the
kitchen with me lol. But food and sleep
and your growing belly will keep your mind
off picking up another one of those
things! Just dont think about it and try
to keep distance from people when they
smoke. The cravings dont last that long!!

Couldn't you just ask everyone that smokes
to do it outside. There is a thing you
could buy that sucks the smkoe out of a
room like a purifier or something. You
could put one in a room and make them
smoke in there...

What about suckers? Ive tried gum but I
still find it hard. Is it better to cut
down so the cravings arent so bad or
better to just quit cold turkey??

Babyrae, yes cutting down is best
normally. But since your pregnant cold
turkey is the best way. The first 3
months are crucial to your baby's
development!
