I'm feeling very accomplished with myself today despite my issues with my boyfriend. ive…

No judgement. My mom smoked with me and I turned out fine(: but the fact that you're cutting down is what counts. It isn't easy to go cold turkey.

same! I smoke 3-5 a day and I've cut back sooooo much. I have an ultrasound every Tuesday and Friday and the baby Is perfectly fine!!❤

I never smoked but I know it isn't easy to just quit! But you're trying which a lot of mothers don't do! Keep it up! & it'll be 0 a day☺️😬

@mllj_alvarado, thank you :). I was a 2 1/2 pack day smoker when I first got pregnant. this month Ive managed to make a pack last me 4 days. today I've only touched 2 1/2. it's so hard. but it's a work in progress and i feel like I'm definitely getting somewhere with being close to quitting.

@mybabyboytimmy020516 my ob was concerned when we told him I'd miscarried everytime I quit cold turkey so that's why he said keep smoking but cut back as much as I can. baby looks good as ever everytime we see him. which helps influence me even more to get closer to not touching anymore this pregnancy

@hottamalee, and yes ma'am! that's the goal to be touching 0 very soon!

Good job! It's a really hard habit to quit but you are doing it 😊

Good job girl! It's not easy. My husband smoke and it just makes me want one but I just keep telling myself it's for the baby and I try to tell myself when I think it "smells good" I say no way and make myself gag it has helped. It's a rough way but the only way I could actually quit. My Dr advised against quitting cold turkey so like you I cut down each week and finally was able to quit. You can do it! If not don't worry if your only smoking 2-3 a day that is amazing in itself.

@katrinacurry, thank you!

@txkitten83 my boyfriend smokes too. and his mom does so our house is always filled with the smell. but I try very hard to make my packs last by having a daily goal. going from as much as I used to smoke to where I am now. in a week or so I should be fully done smoking until im done nursing! which after that I plan on vaping as well as my boyfriend is planning on it too. Id rather vape and it smell 100 times better than a cigarette with my baby around than my baby having to smell a cigarette

I agree!

I stopped cold turkey when I found out I was preg but I know not everyone can do that. I am so proud of you good job... keep up the great work

I'm proud of you!

Don't taint your achievement by inviting people to judge you.

congrats!!! may I ask how you're going about quitting? I need to quit and even tried to cut back, but stress from work and life just killed that dream. I still want to quit and I know it's not too late to do so.

good job =) so proud of you.. i used to smoke.. like buying packs.. =) havent had one since the early summer =) so proud

@dragonlynn, I smoke. but I set a limit as to many on a day to day basis. x amount a day. have them pulled out the pack and have my boyfriend hide the pack until the next day. it was a little hard at first but once you get in the Grove of it all, it becomes much easier and you don't think about it as much!

I think I might start doing that. I've gone from half a pack a day to about 12-14 cigs a day and I'm mentally killing myself for it. I'm gonna have to cut down a lot this week anyway because money went to 2 months rent. thankfully it saved us from getting kicked out. but with me not working, it killed us with needing food and things like that... at least it should help with me cutting back! :)

definitely give it a shot! if you ever need moral support for quitting, I got your back! @dragonlynn

thanks! I appreciate it! @misskaebby
