quit smoking get sick

Im feeling so discouraged and just cant take being sick. Is it possible to get sick back to back? Im not going back to smoking, i guess this is my punishment for waiting so long to quit. I swear i dont get more than a few good days inbetween all my problems this whole pregnancy. And the hormones just make me wana cry... Ugh!

I've been trying so hard to quit without much success until tonight. Its makes me soo sick! Bummer that im vomitting but yay! No more nicotine for baby!! Anybody else who was as smoker when the found out about theyre LO?

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.

s more harm to the baby. I quit smoking when I found out, but my doctor did tell me that if you want to quit you should slowly get yourself off of them.

I'm 10 weeks and smoke sometimes but it makes me throw up. I've smoked for 9 years as well. It's hard as hell but the baby will make u stop. You'll get sick from the smell. At least I did. If you can't stop speak to ur doctor.

I am 18 weeks pregnant & an everyday cigarette smoker . I have tried to quit numerous times however when I do I get stressed and get headaches almost like I'm sick. Can this put my baby uder stress? I simply just don't have the willpower to quit. Is there any pregnancy-safe medication to help quit smoking???

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'll be 26wks Friday and I have a big problem smoking cigarettes. I actually quit my entire 1st trimester. And then I started craving them...and now it physically makes me sick not to have one. I wanna quit so bad!!!

Did any of you have to quit smoking when you got pregnant? How did you do it? With my first or was easy because it made me sick but now I'm craving one all the time!

I actually started getting sick the first couple weeks and had to quit. Same thing happened with my first child. And now just the smell makes me sick. I do miss menthol!

I had a hard time at first. But I had to quit. It made me so sick. Now I can't even stand it.. Just try to think of how nasty it is & just how icky the smoke is. Lol, just try to make cigarettes seem completely disgusting.

i wish u luck if ur trying to quit as it is better if u quit pregnant or not smoking isnt good and im also trying to quit=)

I was the same way, my doc said to wein myself off because if you quit it can shock the baby but I slowly weaned myself off till about 8 wks and started feeling sick now every time I smell or even think about smoking I feel sick to my stomach and I haven't smoked for almost 5 months, she said the same for caffeine and working out too

I would definitely not have quit smoking if I had known it would have caused this level of illness with my thyroid, it's the worst.

I made a 10hr car trip, and ended up going back to smoking. Will try again July 1. Having surgery (sinus) in Aug, and need to quit 6 weeks before. Wishing you the best. Please give us updates!

I'm 6 weeks and I've had to quit smoking as well. What works for me is out of sight (smell) out of mind! I've done research on it and they say when you're craving, it will last 5 mins. So during those 5mins go take a walk, eat a healthy snack (my choice of fat snack lol), etc. My SO smokes too but is trying to quit as well but he's not as successful. Hope this helps some. Good luck!

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.

t care to even try to quit. I quit three years ago and it was hard. It took me a year to fully quit. Good luck and God bless!

If your wondering why there can be such problems an on nurse explained to me that smoking causes the placenta to harden such as your lungs will if your a smoker and it can cause your baby to not get enough oxygen and nourishment no matter how much you eat or try to be healthy otherwise. Personally I'm not a smoker but my sister in law is and luckily she got 4 healthy babies but I wonder if her smoking has caused them to be sick more frequently, seems like every couple weeks they are sick.

I'm a smoker as well. I have gone from a pack a day to about 4 or 5 a day in a week, and it is very hard especially since my bf smokes too.

t liking them. Made me super sick after smoking a half a cig this morning. I believe my baby will play a big part in quitting when I can feel them way more. Know your not the only mom that's having a hard time quitting.

i quit the moment i found out....but i know a lot of people that couldnt quit....but...quitting ciggs is tough. so.

There is no better reason to quit and all i kept thinking was if i dont quit and something happens to my baby i would never forgive myself. It's hard but it just becomes like everything else you can't have while pregnant and gets easier i promise.

I'm 7 months an I'mstill ssmoking have not been able to quit an wen I do quot I get sooo sick

At least try to quit. But my nephew was born perfectly healthy. Her drs even told her smoking was good for baby.

Not just that but smoke clings to your hair, clothes, skin, hands. .. I can't even count the number of sick infants and toddlers I've cared for in the hospital with bad respiratory infections, asthma or croup with parents who smoke. Even though they go out side the hospital to smoke while their child is admitted they come back smelling awful and their small hospital room is so full of that stench that it's hard for a healthy person to breathe.

How do you encourage a person to quit smoking that has been smoking since the age of 16?

I was a smoker before I got pregnant and the day I found out and looked at that pregnancy test I never smoked again. Yes, you will always have cravings, but I'm sorry I think its wrong for people to smoke while they are pregnant and even breastfeeding. I don't judge anyone, I understand what its like to want and need to have a cigarette. But honestly its not hard to quit, all you gotta do is think about your beautiful baby being healthy and that's all that you need.

It was easy for me to stop, because here I was, lying in bed gasping for breath. I was sick of being sick. I do smoke a little here and there, I just bum off my hubby. I smoke when I'm upset. Better than picking up pills, I say. My husband is having a very hard time with the cigs, even with today's crazy prices, so I understand how you feel because I see his struggle. He can quit for a couple of days then he caves in.
