smoking
My husband & I were smokers when I got pregnant with my (almost) 3 yr old. We both decided to quit when we found out we were expecting. I smoked about 1/2 pack a day & quit by smoking one-two less every day until I was done. My hubs did the same & though it took him a little longer, he quit completely, too. He had lung issues & was probably the last person who should have been smoking. He commented to me one day, "I can take a deep breath without coughing.
I was a pack a day till i got pregnant this time. My dr has always told me that if i can not completely quit smoking cut back as much as possible and if that ends up making you quit then that much better. So take a deep breath and just keep cutting back as much as possible. There is no need to feel bad some women smoke their entire pregnancies and do not even try to cut back.
I'm almost 18wks I've been trying to quit since i was 3mnths i had a very hard time when i found out so it was the last thing on my mind!! Now I've cut dwn from 6 cigs to 4 a day n even 2-3!! I keep my pack with my neighbour cus if i hve them ill smoke them. But i did quit in the beginning 3 days n now its harder i don't know why. But i feel if I'm smoking 2-3 a day ill quit when i feel my baby move. I know sounds selfish but i know then it'll hit mee hardcore!
1year 4months ago I quit. I read Allen Carr book easy way to quit smoking...was easy for real!
I think the only way to really quit is to put them down, bite the bullet so to speak and replace the behaviors associated with smoking that has become second nature to us and imo is the hardest part of quitting. You simply quit, walk away and get something to bite on, like in the old movies! ha ha
I am 102 days off smoking today. And yes, I still want one occasionally and probably always will, but the trick is to not take that first puff, period. Problem solved.
I quit cold turkey and I use to chain smoke I'm 11 weeks now and feel better ^^^
I tried everything to quit smoking and finally did at 22 weeks. im now 26w3d and its so nice to say i quit. I tried everything to quit and i guess after my ultrasound it hit me that i really needed to try n quit once n fer all not just fer a day or two. I ended up quiting cold turkey and asked for my husbands help. He smokes. I wouldnt have any lighters cigs or money to buy em around the house and picked up a new habit. Going on walks....im here fer u if u need someone to talk to. Thatll help.
I smoked for 2 years. I know not a long time but this is how I quit. Ok I started just smoking half then I'd go down to a half of a half. I also chewed gum everytime id get an urge. And I wouldn't smoke that first one in the mornings. Id wait as long as I could then smoke. You could try eating sunflower seeds too. Hope that helps.
Good luck!

10 a day is kind of allot, either way it's good you cut down if you were smoking more!! Ugh i quit during my 5th month I'm not proud if how long it took me to quit, I'm pretty sure only way to do it us to quit cold turkey...
m not a smoker but, When my mom quit smoking she did what my grandpa always said to do If you have a sore throat. It sounds nasty but my mom says works! And I know it works for a sore throat. You drink a tablespoon of vinegar and then right after a tablespoon of honey then drink plenty of water. The vinegar kills bacteria in your throat while the honey soothes it. Hope this helps!!
I quit smoking 5 days ago and I am feeling like my breathing is somewhat shallow. Also, my lungs feel like they are being squeezed, I dont really know any other way to describe it. Also, in my upper back area, pretty much opposite my lungs, hurts as well. Is all of these symptoms normal for quitting smoking? I havent started the horrible coughing stage yet but my lungs do feel like stuff is loosening in them. Sort of like bronchitis. Does anyone know when that will start as well?
I started smoking when I was about 10, quit when I was 50. Got a carton for my 13th birthday. One of the 50 times I quit smoking I was sitting there wearing a patch on each arm, chewing a piece of Nicorette, puffing on a Marlboro all at the same time. It's rough!! It finally took. What bothered me the most at first was people smoking, but I made an oath that I would never be a reformed smoker that looks down their nose at smokers. One of the times I failed we went to the Casino.
Hi Nirban
I smoked when I was younger too. Here in the USA, we have a patch. That helps. Dr can prescribe zyban & that's supposed to help too.
When I quit, I did not use that stuff though. This is what I did. I bought some straws. Then I cut them to the length of a cigarette. I took them with me, so when I felt like smoking I'd hold a straw like a cigarette. I'd even puff or draw
a breath on the straw. Helped to relax me. I'd have something to do with my hand too.
I quit smoking the day after i found out too. I was a smoker for 5 years until september when i found out i having a baby. To me its all in the mind, and you have to be strong and know that you dont need it , its bad for you and your baby. My husband helped me get thru it , my baby my family is too important to me than a cigarette. Just remind yourself that your strong , you dont need it, its all in the mind. Whats in the heart is what matters.
I agree, quite smoking, then see a specialist, looks like you could be having some complications from your past sickness.
Okay. I'm 22 and I've been smoking daily since I was 13. I want to stop now that I'm pregnant but I can't seem to just put them down. Any helpful tips? I'm 5 months pregnant and really want my baby to be healthy. That and I want me and my baby's father to stop fighting about it so much.
Hi Pathp. I have the same symptoms, sore throat on the left, painful to swallow, numb tongue and pain behind my ears, also inside the ears. I have been smoking heavily for the past 5 years, but have now quit. There's a burning sensation where my sore throat is. I have had this for several weeks and given antibiotics, but the pain is still there. I will go and get checked by the doctor again, but just wanted to know if you managed to get results on checking for cancer?
