Smoking while pregnant

Why is it that I cant stop smoking and im already 26 weeks pregnant

Because it has you by the balls, harder to quit then heroin or Meth. IMHO

Quoting Nicole Nikielski:" Why is it that I cant stop smoking and im already 26 weeks pregnant"

Because its a smurffy addiction. I'm sorry hun.

because theyre evil  

I had a hard time quitting too.

It's hard to quit.

Have you tried cutting down?

is there smoking cessation support available to u? My midwife referred me and my SO when I was 13 Weeks and seeing her every week was a real help! Today marks one whole year smoke free   I won't lie its been damn hard and I still have my moments but if my SO can stay strong after being a smoker for 31 years then I'm sure I can x good luck x x x

Agreed! I've been smoking since I was 15   I'm 18 weeks and I've cut down to 2 or 3 cigarettes a day, whereas before I got pregnant I was smoking a pack a day..... bleh

Quitting is not easy. The best advice I can offer is try smoking half of one at a time, and put it out of sight to try and cut back. You could try putting the pack in the car, or outside in a baggie so you have to make a point to get up and go get them. But the best advice I got, was whenever you want one, stop what you're doing and do something else, because whatever you're doing when you want one is what is making you want to smoke.

I smoked for about 9 years started after my youngest was born, quit while pregnant now. It took about 20 weeks for me to quit. for me I felt guilty everytime I lit up, my SO quit smoking years ago he was making me feel guilty, and I was sneaking them here and there but got caught a few times and figured if I was sneaking around then it must be wrong so I finally just quit, I still want one once in a while, it's not easy but it can be done

I am 22 weeks pregnant and i still havent been able to quit smoking, I just had an ultrasound 2 weeks away found out i am going to be having a baby girl and that she is healthy and right where she should be as far as weight and everything goes. So one would think that knowing shes healthy would give me more incentive to quit so she stays healthy but i still cant kick it. Before i found out i was pregnant i was smoking a pack a day and now i have maybe 3 or 4 a day but i feel guilty, but at the same time i cant kick the urge. I have tried everything i can think of. I just get such back cravings i actually snap at people and get moody, and i am sure some of that is the pregnancy as well but i hate being moody. I have a 4 year old and somedays are just too much and i cave with a cig. Anyone have any advice on how the hell i can do this once and for all.
