Thank you too @varduim...I'm so sorry i can't reply so quickly to everyone. But it really means everything to me to hear your support, it's really something I truly need.

Thank you @mommatoobee and @txkitten83

withdrawal symptoms that lasted like a month or a little more, but it is only temporary. Do whatever you can to quit or cut back during your pregnancy. You can have the rest of your life to smoke as much as you want. The risks to your baby are not worth it. I don't know about the effects of the patches, but you should talk to your Dr about it. Maybe a certain mg dosage is recommended. Good luck!

you can do its hard but just think about the baby and it gets easier after a couple days

I feel sometimes men don't understand the help we truly need from them..this is my fiancés second child, but my first. I know so many people that smoked, even my mother, through the entire pregnancy. Yet, he tells me how he made his first "baby mama" quit and he's going to make me too. But with me being bull headed and strong willed, he knows he can't, if he only tried to help instead of argue about it, I feel it might help me.

I have been smoking since I was 14 (except when I was pregnant in the past) This time around I found it so much harder to quit, especially since my husband smokes and I can smell it no matter where he goes to smoke. I have been smoking everyday and I really hated it, it bothered me that I couldn't just put it down like I have before. I talked to my Dr about it and she told me to cut a certain amount out everyday. I went from a pack a day to half a pack a day smoked it that way for about a month then I cut a few out of my half pack a day and did that for awhile. In the meantime I kept telling myself "these stink really bad!" or I would literally make myself gag every rime I smoked one. At this point I was willing to do anything to stop the smoking. Finally I had psyched myself out so much I would feel like I was going to get sick just by the smell. My last cigarette was on the 7th and now every time my husband smokes I have to keep reminding myself how bad they smell and I even make it known to him I think they stink and he smells like smoke all the time. Good luck Momma it's tough but you can do it

I smoked about a pack a day until I found out I was pregnant. I quit cold turkey. I had some

right my fiance is scared it's his first my second but I mean he doesn't understand how hard it is because he won't even try to quit to help me.

@mamaofangelbaby0610, that's exactly how I feel. But I'm also scared that if I don't stop, something horrible will happen to my little man. :(

@maliksmommie, that may be what I need to do. They are starting to become disgusting, but somehow I look past it.

yup that's what's happens to me too ugh it's a struggle really I honestly wish I would've never started smoking but now I depend on it and I'm trying so hard to quit but they don't understand it, my mother in law does she told me she smoked her whole pregnancy with my fiance and his brothers.

@mommatoobee, I wish I had the willpower you have

@mamaofangelbaby0610, that's exactly my problem, except they all yell at me for doing it. I tell everyone if they quit it will be easier on me. But even though my landlord had a heart attack, she hasn't stopped. My fiancé can't quit because he gets too stressed and my roommate smokes just as much. And every time they yell at me, I get so upset the only thing I can find comfort in is lighting a cigarette.

oh trust me i was horrible at smoking, at the beginning I cut back from a pack a day to 5 but went right back to half a pack, when I was first quitting at 25 weeks I had my bf smoke away from me and wash his hands when he was done. that seemed to help because now I'm disgusted by them and will probably never pick it back up

when I heard her heart beat I couldn't even think bout smoking anymore

I literally stopped when I took the test I smoked 2packs a day and smoked weed you can do it I have urges to since my fiance smokes but I wouldn't do it to my baby girl

honestly from time to time I still smoke it was so much easier to quit my first pregnancy because I didn't have anybody else smoking around me but this pregnancy there's my fiance our landlord and my fiance's mom smoking around and so its a lot harder this time around, I've been trying to cut back but they all smoke like chimneys around and every time they light one I want to light one. it sucksssss

@maliksmommie, I'm hoping something does. I cut back from smoke 2 packs a day to a half to a whole pack depending on if I'm delivering papers or not. And thank you.

@mamaofangelbaby0610, that's one of my big things too, he's a heavier smoker than I am. I've cut down to splitting my cigarettes with him but he's started doing the same with his, which tempts me more.

I smoked until 25 weeks, the thing that got me to stop was literally being in L&D for contractions. I wasn't in preterm labor, it was just because I had a horrible uti but before I found that out I thought it was my fault cause I literally smoked a cigarette then the contractions came. people still smoked around me but knowing it was best for my son made me realize I had to stop cause it wasn't for me. you may not have the same scare as I did, which I hope you don't, but something will come over you and it'll be more powerful than the urge to smoke. if you need anyone to talk to I'm always here

@hoppingkitty, I have tried but they make me cough up a storm and make me sick to my stomach

me and its super hard for me because my fiance smokes a lot and when he smokes it makes me want to smoke it sucks. but I know your pain.

have you tried switching to vape?

as long as your cutting down your trying . eventually the want to stop for your child will overcome the cigs. I used suckers for driving which was a big part of it. good luck you got this !
