So I went to a pregnancy center to get my proof of pregnancy. Finally. I went Thursday so as of today I'm 11 weeks. Even though this is my third child, I'm still nervous. And I can't seem to quit smoking. With my other two it was SO easy for me to quit cold turkey but not so much this time around. I've cut back a lot, but just can't fully quit. Any advice or tips?
@savannahapagiebridges, yeah, my mother smoked through out her pregnancy with my brother. The doctor told her not to stop completely but cut back a lot. It just bothers me that it was so easy with my two girls.
Lollipops seem to help. And trust me I know. My fiancee doesn't smoke! But everybody that I know are big time smokers and everytime they light one up, I'm like gimme gimme gimme. Lol
@naveyah4765, a lollipop! I'll have to try that! It's definitely a lot harder with my fiancé and my sister smoking around me. I mean they go outside, but it's like I know what they're going out there to do lmao.
I've had the same problem! And today has been my 5th day without a cigerette! It's not easy, and this is my first so I can only imagine with the third! But the way I'm handling it is finding other things to occupy my time. There's times where I want a cigerette but I fight the craving and I do something else like look at the baby's ultrasound pics, cloths, etc. or I'll just drink something cold, eat chocolate, suck on a lollipop, or eat a carrot. Everybody is different and everybody has different strategies
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I've cut way back, on most days at least. there are some days I just fail completely. but my doctor said to try to cut back, even if I can't quit and that if I'm stressed too much trying to quit it will be just as harmful to baby so not to stress myself out.. I wish I could do better than I am though
