Tell your boyfriend to at least do it around you. You’re not even old enough to buy them so simply stay away from them. Addiction is hard but having a baby with something wrong with it you could have prevented is harder.
Good
Google it! You are going to be shocked at how much nicotine that you actually pass on to the baby. I think that they actually receive more of the nicotine than what you do because of how your body processes it. Not sure about that though. It’s been a while since I looked it up. My sister couldn’t quit either. Your baby will be pre-destined to be a smoker unless you kick the habit. Do you want her to be addicted like you? I would really put some effort into quitting.
well just keep trying!!you can do it!! god bless!!
i smoke two and i know what u mean becuase when i was preagent it was hard but its just a choice of can u live with yourself if when ur baby is born their is something wrong with it i lost my baby but u just have to really try to stay away from people who are smoking and just not buy anythiing to smoke. my sister helped me stop she told me everytime i had the urge to just call her.
i am 16 years old and 26 weeks pregnant and i smoke also. i have cut down but cant seem to stop. i also feel very very bad, but i also have stress and people that smoke around me. my doctor knows that i smoke and she said it makes it better if you cut down even though its best to quit all together. just keep trying to quit and if you cant at least cut back on it. when you get bigger its even harder to breathe bc the baby pushes on your diaphram and smoking doesnt help with that.
God, that sucks. Take the gum or chews or something.
Your baby is going to have a defect for sure now. Tell your boyfriend that it is critical he and you quit.. I mean, stuck with a baby that has brain damage or can’t walk or with a whole in their heart is hard to deal with.
Plus, you are underage. o_O
its hard for every smoker to quit but its something you just have to do, it took me a week to stop but luckily i had my partner scowling at me for smoking so that really helped, you just have to suck it up and be responsable
babies raising babies and on top of that you smoke. Come on your 16! You cant be that addicted. I was a smoker 15 years plus and put them down the minute i found out i was pregnant. Its called will power and i can see you dont have much of that.
You should worry about your husband. If you cant even make the sacrifice to quit smoking to save your baby’s health. You DEFINITELY can’t make the sacrifices of raising a child until he or she is 18. Do it to prove to yourself that you can be a good mother.
I smoked for 9 years and was able to quit on my first attempt at it. So you just need to keep on trying. Stay away from temptaions.
obviously you don’t feel that bad. honestly you need to look up pictures of what happens to babies when their parents do things like this. not trying to be mean but really think about how selfish you are being. this baby can’t do anything for itself and here you are taking away it’s chances to have a normal healthy life. go find someone who had a baby that was badly effected by their mothers smoking habit. You can’t just stop because you want to. you have to stop because this is a living person inside of you who is depending on you for it’s food, breath and everything else and you are poisoning it. Do you want to have a baby who will be scarred for the rest of it’s life because you didn’t take the effort to break your habit. Smoking is not worth it. keep a picture of a baby effected by this and put it on your box of cigarettes so you will have to look at what you are doing to it every time you take one.
Tell you doctor. They will assist you with quitting.
The also will advise not to quit cold turkey because it puts added stress on you and baby.
Cut down as much as you can.
Try sharing a cigarette with your bf when you first wake up,
at around evening time, and maybe at night.
That is 3 a day.. But since they are shared it is considered 1.5 for you and your bf.
If he is not willing to help quit with you then it isn’t worth your time of helping him out. Do it for you and your baby
Good luck
I’ve quit smoking twice in my life. It was SO much easier to quit when I was pregnant. Of course I craved it and I still do, but the need to take care of my baby and her health was more important to me than giving in to my nicotine craving. As for your boyfriend, put him in line! Tell him he needs to quit smoking for the health of your baby too, because if he smokes around you, you get the second hand smoke, and even if he keeps smoking but not when around you, you can still inhale the nicotine particles from his skin and clothing.
A lot of people say they have a sibling or a child who was born perfectly healthy and the parent smoked during pregnancy. I just use my own personal experience. My mom smoked the whole time she was pregnant with me. I was born 4 weeks early, only weighed 2 pounds 4 ounces, the next day dropped down to 1 pound 6 ounces, was jaundiced, lived in an incubator the first 6 weeks of my life, when I was born my heart had stopped beating, and the last several weeks I was in my mother’s womb the umbilical cord didn’t work so I didn’t get the nutrients I needed. However, my mother quit smoking when she was pregnant with my sister. She was born 2 weeks late, was a healthy 8 pounds and there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.
I’d rather not take my chances. ;o) Stand up for yourself, tell your boyfriend he needs to support you so you both can quit for the health of your baby.
Good luck!
go see a doctor
u want ur baby to be born with defects
ashtma etc?
Please trust on this= you have to get professional help= call a crisis center= or A local ER= I have a good friend who i love dearly who has a blind retarded son FROM SMOKING never the less he’s a real trooper= please think about the risks, and then when your really thinking= think about stopping, don’t be selfish= work it out with family or the pros= but work it out, your hurting “Michael Angelo revisited”
Cut back as much as you can. To the point were your only smoking a couple of drags before bed or something. Once you get to that point you will be able to eventually quit alot easier. It is very hard to just downright quit cold turkey, especially when you are not prepared for it!
