You mean the supplements? Haha well no. We actually check four times.
First two times via kit, negative. Third time, private clinic - positive.
Last time we went to poly clinic -positive. Then my hubby ask if I need to take anything
Like vitamins and all..
Going back to the original topic, its not easy to just quit, especially because I've always been a firm believer that you quit smoking for yourself and because you want to do it, not because someone else demands that of you or due to circumstances.
But having a baby... its one of those things that you know you have to do. I managed to pull through because of great supportive colleagues who constantly rejected my pleas to 'just have one stick'. Within 2 weeks, the craving was no longer there... weeks & months later, the urge still comes back, but perhaps mainly because it's something I absolutely can't have (unlike alcohol, where you can still sip a little and it's fine!).
All it takes is a little determination & willpower. And a little help from the people around you. And you'll get through it. After all, its just for 9 months, and its healthier (not to mention cheaper) to stop smoking! Wishing you ladies all the best in your pregnancy!

I totally stop now from few puffs a day to zero. But however when hanging out with friends for some chit chat session i tend to smoke few puffs or half stick. Temptation still there esp when you're with friends.

Hi Mummies,
I too tot it was impossible to quit when i found out i was pregnant at 4wks+..but promised hubby to quit within a 2week dateline.. Had to start from 3sticks (after every meal) to 2, 1 and even to half. Finally managed to totally quit after 1 wk+
Couldn't really take the smell.. and would always puke even after half a stick.
I think being pregnant finally gives u a reason to force urself to quit and lead a healthy life. Now that i look back, i'm really glad i am not addicted anymore..
Jiayou!

I just found out I'm pregnant and I also want to quit or rather stop for a while. :001_302: I don't crave for ciggy. It's like a bad, bad habit! At work, I don't even feel the need to smoke! I usually smoke before going to work and after work! Right now, I start by having only 5 ciggies a day. I think I'll slowly cut it down to one and then a few puffs and finally to none!
