also... have any mamas quit smoking? I want to quit smoking but am finding it impossible... any pointers?
@Mrs.palmer1994, I wanted a baby with my new husband more than I wanted to smoke. I had all he motivation in the world that I needed. Besides, I am very strong-willed. I thought of all the uptight corporate jerks making money off of something that would eventually kill me. Nope. Not doing it. LOL
how did you manage to quit cold turkey? I've tried and failed many times. ugh
Hey @mrs.palmer1994 I'm a mom of 4 too! 13, 11, 18 months, and 12 weeks! I quit smoking in 2012. My husband quit with me. It was a requirement for IVF and I had to take a blood test 3 months later to prove I'd quit. I just went cold turkey after 22 years. My husband used chantix.
I quit almost as soon as I found out I was pregnant. it took maybe a week to just be done. but, after researching all the side affects it can have on baby, I don't miss it. it's so worth it, you feel so much healthier and like you can actually breathe. plus it's nice not having to run to the gas station all the time lmao
