I know it's hard for you to try to quit smoking and it doesn't help that if your man is still smoking around. Makes you want one so bad. Unless your husband is not a smoker, getting angry every time you smoke will help you want to quit more.
Here are few ideas for you:
One mom said she kept an article on what smoking does to unborn baby in her purse and every time it seemed like she was going to lose her mind for a cigarette, she read it and remembered why she needed to quit. Something about a helpless baby was more powerful than her own life. All she could think about was the baby. You too couldn't bring yourself to do anything that had any possibility of harming the baby. Do you?
Have you done any research or known anyone that has any of the possible side effects to the baby while she smoking pregnant? This is not meant to sound controversial. Some people just don't know, don't care, don't bother or have never known anyone. It's so awful. I strongly believe that the more you know, the easier it is to make the right decisions.
Whenever you want a cigarette close your eyes and try to envision your little bean in your tummy surrounded by smoke and coughing really hard. That's what a mom did with her first pregnancy. It worked like a charm. She didn't have to cut down or anything.
Do you have morning sickness yet? If your morning sickness was so bad, smoking may not impossible for you. If you are down to one, go down to a half and then try to stop. Focus on your morning sickness... and just focus on your body temperature you 'll feel like you are burning in a furnace right after your smoke.. your baby will sure detest your smoking. and try and puke right after you smoke... that sick feeling with the horrible smell of cigarettes will help you hate it. If you have to quit it you'll have to hate it not love it.
You all can quit smoking, you just have to want it bad enough. Fortunately, if you get a little guidance in the matter, you can go through this accordingly. I highly recommend the guide Quitting Smoking While Pregnant as a source for this.
