Question

About a year ago I picked up the worst habit. Smoking cigarettes. The day I found out I was pregnant (which was about 5 days ago) I completely quit but I'm craving them badly, I know the risk cigarettes have in pregnancy, I'm not going to smoke but it's so hard.

Answer

You can do it!! I'm on day 8 and it's getting a little easier.

Answer

Try doing something to replace the habit. I've heard of pregnant women buying a bag of ice from sonic and chewing it when they felt the need to smoke. My stepmother would keep a rubberband on her wrist and would pop it against her skin when she had a craving.

You can do this!

Answer

I'm a week in and it really does get easier - just think of all the bad things!!! Better yet - quit for a week then hang out with people that smoke. It will gross you out so much (me last night). I just kept thinking about the 2nd hand smoke and it felt like my baby was coughing along with me. Gosh it was awful. Next step is convincing hubby he needs to quit too. I keep telling him he can't touch me if he smells because it really makes me nauseous now. We will see how long it takes. A few more emotional outbursts (hormones) and I bet he quits 😁 good luck!! You can do it!! Gum/tooth picks. I like the rubber band idea too - punishment for wanting one.
