26-10-2009 - i need advice

My mood while writing this blog:

ive been trying to give up smoking since the day i found out i was pregnant. I am now 24 weeks and i just worry im harming my baby every time i smoke. I have tried to give up but i cant do it. Does any women out there smoke in their pregnancies or have done? please help me.

well i dont smoke but i can imagine how hard it must be to quit. if the doctor says the pregnancy is ok, then dont stress too much ,but try to smoke less and less ever day or wk, because even though the pregnancy might be ok now, doesnt mean that the baby might not have problems later from the smoke intake your doing now..good luck

It was realllly hard for me to stop smoking and didn't do so until I was about 12 or 13 weeks ( about a month after I found out I was pregnant)...when you're ready to quit you will quit, has the doctor said anything about the baby being underweight? I started off quittin by cutting down the number of ciggs I had...I used to smoke about 10-15 a day then I cut down to about 5..then one weekend I was broke and I couldnt buy any and that was the weekend that helped me stop, after that weekend i never touched another ciggg! lol

Also on your blog I know it wasnt the best thing in the world but I smoked my whole frist pregancy and this one I went out and bought a green smoke, you should check it out at greensmoke.com it works great and it is safe.

I smoked until 12 weeks and after the constant battle, I threw the patch on and made up my mind I would not smoke I haven't since. I smoked with my 1st and he was born 3 weeks early with ashma. I think it's really important to quit. Not to say your baby won't be perfectly healthy at birth but you have that risk that you need to be aware of. Get the patch.

well first off, thank for the congrats!! congrats to you also=)you should really give up smoking. it is extremely harmful to the growing baby. its definately NOT easy so try not to beat yourself up too much over it.my sister in law smoked alot during her first pregnancy. she looked up the same question on yahoo answers i think and found some things to help. im not sure which method she used to stop but she definately did shortly after! good luck hope i helped some!
