26-6-2009 - smoking is bad!!!

My mood while writing this blog: ashamed

---

so before i became pregnant i used to smoke a pack a day ( i know its gross!!)
when i found out i was pregnant i quit smoking right way
i was soo proud of myself i ddint smoke a cigarette for about 6 mnths
and then in april i got frustrated one day and i smoked a cigg
i felt horrible because i know its really bad for me and the baby
so i quit again for about another month
i guess you could say since then i have probably smoked about 5 ciggs
which isnt as horrible as smoking a pack a day but i still feel really guilty
so anyway i havent smoke a cigg since june 1st
and then today i just got the urge and i smoked half a cigg
i couldnt finish it cuz i felt really guilty and i still do
im gonna commit to not smoking any more ciggs till after i have the baby which i know i should just quit all together but honestly i really enjoyed smoking but i would rather do it when im not carrying an innocent child its not fair to jacob
so go ahead ladies give it to me good
becaue i need all the guilt and encouragement i can get to not smoke for the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy i know for non -smokers its seems so easy but its not and i feel ashamed and im sorry

I believe you can do it if you went 6months. I know you can go 3wks. If not then just think that a half a cig a day is way better on his lungs than a whole pack. Good Luck girl I know you can do it.

ya ive had a couple here and there my damn self, i stoped for the first like 6 months but ive known sooo many people that smoked thru out their whole pregnancy (including my own mama!) and never known any problems. i think its only an issue if you smoke like a regular smoker, but being as stressed out as i know i get, a cigarette is the lesser of two evils next to stress, But good for you mama, keep it up, the less the better, but dont punish yourself if you need a half a one every now and then, we're only human :)

oh girl im proud of u for stopping the way that you have. u only have 3 weeks left. this is the homestretch u can make it!!! i was a lighty smoker with blacks at first and i have taken two hits off during the whole pregnancy and i felt guilty so i can only imagine ur guilt. but just know u are alomost there and u have done great so far. im sure Jacob will be a healthy bouncin baby boy!

I know EXACTLY how you feel!!! I smoked a pack a day up until I found out I was pregnant. I didn't quit until Feb. completely but since then I haven't had one at all. I honestly don't know how I did it. I think about it everyday though. It is so hard!!!

Girl you can do it....just think about the health of the baby and that should help you quit.

i keep smoking on and off, i dont really think about it till i feel a kick, and i feel bad, but at least im not on 10 a day.

as long as you keep thinking you can do it, im sure you will do

good for you trying not to, while u are pregnant. i dont know what your going thru because im not addicted to smoking. but i am addicted to greaters mint chocolate chip ice cream. its not the same thro is it?? if u can quit altogether that would be best for your family, if not as long as u can wait till your little one is born, an dont smoke around him, thats up to u. so stay strong and good luck with your decision.

I smoked 10 a day before i fell pregnant with Ashton and this baby. With Ashton i quit and had 1 here and there, so your looking at 7 or 8 throughtout my whole pregnancy which is nothing. He was born a healthy 8lb 8oz. This time around i smoked 1 a day for about 2 weeks near the start and i felt so guilty i quit. Yesterday and today i craved one so bad i had one. I no its so hard but just think, your 37 weeks gone and you have 3 weeks until your due, so not long. I still have 7 weeks and im finding it hard now, and its worse when im stressed. Be strong, and i will try and be strong too. x

hey hunny i went through the same thing as you while i was pregnant..with all that you go through while pregnant the cravings for cigs are intense!!!! i smoked a few here and there while i was pregnant and Jude was a 9 lb healthy baby boy. But i will tell you if you plan to breast feed then you should not smoke at all because it will make your milk go away. good luck babe!!!

Girl when I lost my daughter I tried to smoke. I didn't get it. I tried reg/lights/menthols/and cloves. I only like the outside tAste of the cloves (picture me just licking my lips and licking the clove). I couldn't do it. I tried everything! Well not everything cause of my job lol. But you know my husbands mom smoked while she was prego with him. I think he turned out ok! My husband use to chew (dip) but took up smoking. He smokes I think a pack a week. He promised he wouldn't smoke when Ryder gets here. So just make a promise with Jacob! Tell him you won't smoke. It might work. I know you won't want to break a promise with your son! Right?

I used to smoke about a pack a day before I got pregnant the first time. I quit because it made me sick. Started again and then quit again. Then got pregnant and it made me sick again to be around it. I made my BF quit LOL I try to think of it as more of a hassle to smoke to take away some of the enjoyable pleasure and maybe do it socially in the future. Or I thought of it as a car payment I was smoking away. It is not recommended to smoke while pregnant and technically not good, but I have known many women who smoked the entire pregnancy. Good for you though for quitting and doing your best to stay off them. If you smoke again you smoke again that will be up to you but I wouldn't recommend picking up the habit again only cause ciggys cost so damn much!
