Smoking (vent)
I admit I know it was horrible for me to smoke before I was pregnant ,but I stopped the second I found out I was pregnant ( and i feel guilty about smoking for the first 4 weeks ) .But do people have to ask me EVERY DAY if I miss it .Do people constantly have to say they cant beleive I was able to quit ? I dont want to hear about it anymore ! And I really dont wanna hear "You know your gonna start smoking again when the baby is born right " .NO I WONT LEAVE ME ALONE !!!! vent over !

Re: Smoking (vent)
It never ceases to amaze me how indirectly insensitive people can be.
Well I think its amazing that you did quit and I believe that you will not start up again after LO gets here
I hate hearing this, too. I smoked until I found out I was pregnant, but the moment I did, I had no trouble quitting, and haven't looked back. I have actually grown to really, really dislike smoking and I KNOW I won't go back to it after LO is born.
These people should be happy that you quit and be encouraging you to keep it up. If not, they're jerks. That being said, WAY TO GO for quitting and you can and will keep it up after LO is here.
Way to be supportive! Ugh. My father was just diagnosed with lung cancer, and he quit cold turkey. He's done it in the past, but he said he can't even stand to be near anyone who smoked hours before(the smell makes him sick).
You will do what is best for you and your family. Don't let the naysayers get you down. You will prove them wrong!
Same here!! A girl I used to be friends with would try to push me to smoke WHILE I am pregnant because her friend had a baby that is perfectly healthy and she smoked almost a pack a day. We are no longer friends.
But yeah, my family won't let up about it, either. At the beginning they questioned if I even stopped and it was easy for me to do so because I had better things to do like take care of my body, so it it really frustrated me and it was annoying. Now they keep on telling me to not start up again. What am I? A meth head? Good lord.
Best of luck to you and your baby though and congrats on making the choice to quit
Congrats on quitting, I know it isnt easy to do, but you did- great job!! Tell the people who ask you to mind their own business...im sure them bringing it up makes it worse!!
If you do decide to start again after baby is born- your choice!!
tell them to BUTT OUT...lol (pardon the pun)
This exactly. I have told people to stop asking me. I hardly think about it at all anymore unless I smell it (which is rarely) or someone asks me if I still have cravings. They are being counterproductive to us quitting and I make sure that is clear. People have stopped asking me.
I will never smoke again. If I have one, I know I will be right back at a pack a day and I would never put LO in harm's way or let her have the possibility of losing me at a young age. My Gpa dies when my mom was 17 due to lung cancer from smoking. I won't put my daughter through that if I can do something to maybe prevent it.
GL to you and good job for making the great choice to quit!

Ugh I get this too and it is so annoying!I quit when I found out at about 5 weeks.
I had one friend who told me there was no way I would be able to quit,and bragged about how she smoked 2 packs a day through all of her pregnancies,and how her kids are "fine".Well,she never went to full term with any of her pregnancies.Her youngest was born at 30 weeks,and has asthma pretty bad,as well as crohn's disease(not sure if there's a connection with that one).She constantly tells me I will be smoking immediately after I have the baby.
I also constantly get asked if I miss it.Um,I was a smoker for 12 years-of course I miss it!STFU and be supportive!
