No I'm not pregnant! I was just wondering why with each of my children I was able to quit smoking without any problems as soon as I found out I was pregnant, but now I can't for the life of me do it without being a miserable bitch.

Anyone else? On the other hand my little sister just found out she is pregnant for the first time and she is still smoking! She said that she is trying but can't do it! And advice so I can help her out here?

My cousins all continued smoking as well
I have to say, I thought I was being clever and would allow myself one cigarette a month in my first pregnancy . BUT it did help me get rid of my 10 a day habit for the 9 months... Oh the horrible horrible justifications of a smoker. Makes me so sad now.

I quit smoking this summer because my oldest said he wanted to be a smoker when he grew up. I have always been an apologetic smoker, standing out of the way, making excuses, so this made me feel even more ashamed.
So my children did have to do with my quitting, eventhough I started right up after their pregnancies again.

I never smoked another cigarette once I learned that I was pregnant. I'm not sure how I was able to quit so easily, but I do remember that the smell/taste of them made me stomach turn. I'm sure that helped a lot.

I was to sick. Throwing up all the time made it easy for me. When I saw a ashtray or smelled smoked I would get sick.

Smoking made me sick when pg. I did occasionally light up, but can count on one hand how many times I did while pg.

You have to quit for yourself. It always seems easier when there is someone else that you are responisble for. Once that burden is relieved (no longer pg) you don't have that one issue keeping you from smoking anymore.
