FINALLY SMOKE FREE!!!

[FruitLoop123]

Please do not judge me or put me down, I know that it wasnt smart and it was selfish of me to be smoking in the first place but now that I havent had a smoke in 4 days I am so proud of myself! I am 28 weeks and 1 day and today is my 4th day of not smoking! I had cut down drastically(1/2-1 or 1 1/2 butts a day) but for some reason dropping that last smoke a day was so hard for me... my SO smokes like a chimney(outside) so it made it that much harder for me to stop but I finally put our daughter first and my wants second and I am so glad I did! I know it was the best thing I could do for her at this point. For anyone out there who is still struggling I know you can do it! I thought I was going to be one of those moms who smoked her whole pregnancy and I still found the strength to quit! I suggest cutting back as much as possible, it made stopping that much easier(I was already used to not smoking during the day, after meals and so on). The hardest part for me was to not smoke in the car because my man does but somehow I kicked that habit and I know if I can, anyone can!! If you're still reading this THANK YOU!! If you are someone who is trying to quit, feel free to message me for support, I know you can do it and you know it will be best for your sweet little baby you are carrying!! Thank you and good luck!!!! :)

Congrats!  That's one of the hardest things I ever had to do and its so rewarding one your activity level gets back to normal and your baby will want to cuddle with you as you won't be smelling like smoke.   My oldest didn't want anything to do with me after I would smoke because of the smell but I've I stopped the cuddles were so worth it.

I quit a few months before I found out I was prego. If you still struggle with the habit, not the nicotine, I suggest you buy an E-Cigarette and buy 0 mg liquid. You'll get the sensation of a cigarette without ANY of the side effects. My OB said it doesn't harm my baby PR myself. I rarely ever use it. I quit Dec 2 of 2013 and found out I was prego April 17. If I have a craving I just take a puff of the e-cig, using it has helped curb a lot of the effects you suffer from quitting and if you use 0 mg liquid you're doing absolutely no harm. Even though I rarely touch it, it's nice to know it's there if I get the urge, which I haven't had in a long time. But if you've gone 4 days already, you're definitely strong enough to go without anything. Congrats! Your baby is thanking you, trust me.

Thank you for the support guys!! I expected a lot more negativatity tbh but you all are amazing!!! And congrats to everyone else who had to give up something for something better!!! Its incredidble what our bodies do for our babies, so its only fair we do something for our bodies!! Keep up the good work and good luck on your pregnancies!!

I know EXACTLY how you feel!!! I was 5 wks when I found out I was prego and I smoked 1/2 a pack a day and when I found out I was prego I smoked more! By wks 7 I couldn't stand the smell of a cigarette and everybody around me smoked! I thought it would be hard to quite but it really wasn't don't get me wrong to this day I still get a craving for 1 but it's been 4 months since I've had 1!!!! So BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND IT'LL GET EASIER!!!! Jolly rancher gummies candy got me thru the ruff days lmbo!!!

[strongmomma14]

I quit a week b4 i found out I was pregnant.  Just wasn't appealing to me anymore. I did have a few times this winter where I wanted one but knew it was best just not to.

[elvendork]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a suggestion for your SO, my husband switched to an electronic cig 3 years ago and has never looked back. He actually likes it more than he liked cigs and he smoked for 16 years.

@Lizzie - quitting soda is no easy task! new studies say sugar is just as physically addictive as cocaine

[chisaac]

I quit smoking before I got pregnant but I do know how damn hard it is. I was a complete *****! So I say good for you chick. If any one judges you screw them you did it and you accomplished it and I for one can say I'm very proud of you!

[ftm502]

[Candy_T]

Congrats FruitLoop and good luck to the rest of you ladies that are trying to quit. I know how hard quitting in general can be, I've seen my parents battle with it. I'm very proud of you all. :)

[westonsmommy66]

Congrats! I'm about 9w and have cut down drastically and hopefully I'll be done completely by next week!!! Super hard!

[Lizzie_Campos]

Quitting something your so addicted to takes a lot momma.  I'm still having a hard time saying no to soda and crave it horribly and that doesn't even compare. That's awesome keep up the good work!
