quit smoking?

[junebaby25]

I found out I was pregnant on October 17th with a home test, I went to the dr on October 20th and had a blood test done just to be sure that the home test was right. I smoked my last cigarette on October 21st after the dr called and said yes I'm definitely pregnant. I haven't had another cigarette since but my bf smokes and i eyeball his pack almost every day thinking about taking          one out and being sneaky...but so far I've resisted. I don't want to go back to smoking after the baby, what is the success rate of staying a quitter? Everyone I've known, either have a few smokes during their pregnancy to calm stress or quit just long enough to have the baby and picked up right where they left off.

Also great job for everyone that stayed a quitter :-)

Thank you everyone! I just remind myself that I don't want my baby girl to smell like cigarettes or smell them on my breath when I give her kisses. It's hard though with my bf still smoking, I keep on him about quitting for our daughter but I don't think he wants to because he hasn't even made any effort  to quit, it's really sickening and annoying!

I quit smoking the day after i found out too. I was a smoker for 5 years until september when i found out i having a baby. To me its all in the mind, and you have to be strong and know that you dont need it , its bad for you and your baby. My husband helped me get thru it , my baby my family is too important to me than a cigarette. Just remind yourself that your strong , you dont need it, its all in the mind. Whats in the heart is what matters.

I quit with my last pregnancy and never started back up. During my last pregnancy it literally made me sick to smoke one so it was easier for me but once I had the baby...and I mean seriously like an hour after delivery I was craving a cigarette like I never even quit! But by the time I left the hospital that was over with...it is possible if you put your mind to it! Just stay strong and think of those little baby lungs!

The women I know went right back to it after the baby. I think if you WANT to stay a quitter, you can do it. Stay determined and remember, just because you're no longer pregnant, doesn't mean your baby won't benefit from having a healthier mommy! Stay strong, girl!
