how long before u quit smoking?

Question

after you found out you were pregnant how far along were you when you finaly were able to quit smoking. And what was your thinking that first full day of not having a cig.

just so im very clear i did not say i smoked or what your advise for me would be i asked if you ever did and what you were thinking when you quit.

Answer 1

i smoked before i became pregnant with my son and luckily something about being pregnant made cigarettes repulsive to me, i was sure i would never smoke again but i did start again (not as much) after i finished breast feeding my son , this pregnancy i have not been so lucky, i get occasional cravings but ever since i saw the little pink line i just remember what is most important. But dont stress if you havent been able to go cold turkey just yet, the key is to cut down as much as possible (of course none at all would be ideal but that may not be as easy as it seems) . And dont listen to the people that like to jump down your throat about it, just do the best you can

Answer 2

I smoked TWO PACKs a day before I found out that I was pregnant...I smoked about 5 cigarettes right before (as I was thinking) I took the pregnancy test - never smoked another after I saw the positive result! (Obviously not a planned pregnancy)

Answer 3

I have never smoked I think its just the nastiest habit next to drug addiction. But I dont judge others. My friend was a smoker about 1-2 packs a day. She found out she was pregnant and that exact same day she quit cold turkey. I am truely proud of her. Just wanted to let you know that cold turkey is possible and good luck

Answer 4

Thank God I've never smoked, but I know 2 people who said that just knowing they were pregnant made them stop cold turkey. It's one of the worst things for your baby to have in his/her body so you really need to stop now and think of the baby. I know it's an addiction but you must get some immediate help so you can stop and care for the unborn child!

Answer 5

All of my girlfriends who became pregnant were smokers, but quit the very second they found out they were pregnant. I had one friend who had her last cig whilst waiting for her pregnancy test results. When it was positive, that was that, it was her last cig of her life-- and she was so happy for it. Another girlfriend quit the very day she found out she was preggers and said it was the happiest day of her life so quitting cigs was like the icing on the cake. When you think about the health of your baby, quitting cigs becomes a lot easier!

Some folks will stop at nothing to berate anyone for taking up such a 'nasty habit', but they don't know what it feels like to be addicted to cigarettes. It's harder to quite cigs than it is to quite heroin, crack, and alcohol combined. It's no wonder recovering alcoholics and drug addicts always hang on to their cig habit.

Answer 6

i almost quit smoking. i got to where i was only smoking 3 -4 cigarettes a day because everytime i'd light one id start pgagging and almost puking off the first hit. although that passed after about 9 months...lol. i never did quit although i though about it, i just wantever able to. my son is healthy.

Answer 7

do not worry the first trimaster if u did not know u were pregnant baby is fine but tell your doctor that you did,but if you doing that for nine months, this is the image i want to have in your mind every time you take a puff from that cig your baby turns blue inside that's a fact cuz it cuts the oxygen supply to them FYI i have 3 kids never smoked or took an aspirin

Answer 8

I smoked up until I went to the Dr office for the confirmation - then I did not have anymore. I am glad I haven't had anymore :)

Answer 9

i knew it wasnt just about me anymore, so that cig i was smoking when I was taking my pregnancy test went out as soon as i found out, never touched one again.

Answer 10

i stopped before i even knew and i knew before i was even 4 weeks being pregnant makes smoking gross (not that it isn;t already)
