Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
Are you having a hard time with it?
I feel like a crazy person. I feel more moody than a normal pregnant woman. It doesn't help that I had to cut my 6-cups-of-coffee-a-day habit down to one cup. Between the two it makes each day draaaaaag.
Has anyone found anything that helps take your mind off it?

Re: Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
With DD1 we were trying, so I had quit prior to getting pregnant. This time, it was a bit of a surprise so quit as soon as we found out, but I've been craving one the ENTIRE time! It doesn't help that DH smokes! It's been so hard!!

Re: Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
I quit smoking the day I found out I was pregnant with DD in 2006 and haven't smoked since, strange thing is that I didn't have any cravings at all and got over it like it was nothing. Maybe it was bc I only smoked 1 maybe 2 cigarettes a day and I was a smoker for maybe 2 years.

Re: Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
Oh and DH -even though he was never a big smoker, maybe 1-5 cigarettes a week - quit smoking with me , so that helped a lot.
He hasn't smoked since .

Re: Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
I wish it was that easy, you're lucky!
I stopped when I was pregnant with DD in 2006 but I started again once I wasn't pumping for her anymore.
I smoked a pack a day since I was 17 (13 years), so it's really hard.
I wish there was a way to keep my mind off it

Re: Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
I don't smoke but I just wanted to say good for you guys!! DH used to smoke a pack a day, stopped for a year and a half and now has a cigarette or two a week. Its SUCH a hard habit to break.
I totally commend you guys for stopping and dealing with the hormones!

Re: Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
I feel your pain! My husband still smokes and it makes it very hard. People tell me I should just use pregnancy as my reason to quit, but I enjoy smoking. I will quit eventually but the first few years of motherhood is not the time for me.

Re: Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
I hate to say it but the only thing that made it easier was when my morning sickness kicked in! lol
Good luck - I know how tough it is.

Re: Those Who Gave Up Smoking...
I quit when I got my BFP- Sept 11 and I hate to say it, but all these months later and I still get cravings. What worked for me was chewing a lot of minty gum. And like Bear said- when I got morning sickness- I couldn't even think about cigarette smoke without gagging. I know how hard it is...
