Women who smoked during pregnancies and are now quit....

So I'm reading all your responses and I can barely see the screen from all the tears in my eyes. You guys are great!! I am really finding this to be an emotional rollercoaster for me. What I find even harder I think is that my husband is also quit, 12 days now, and he's been fine. Not a craving, not a tear, and hardly an outburst of emotion or frustration. I'm so jealous of him. But, I am a hormonal woman I suppose, so there must be tears involved somewhere!!! I am proud of myself, my oldest daughter is so happy. My 5 year old was and is still clueless to the fact that I even smoked. I would only do it outside, and never let the children see me taking a drag or even holding a smoke, I'd keep the curtains closed. I'm sure she smelt it, but she's never said a word about it. She asked me the other night why I didn't go outside anymore, I asked her why I went out anyhow, and she replied, "to talk to Daddy out there silly" So I'm not sure if she knows or not. I will set an example for my girls now, and I'm sure these whacky emotions will subside soon enough, you think?? Thank you so much, to you all. Your words of wisdom have really helped me and will continue to do so. You are all my big foot, kicking me in the a** when I feel a bit weary of my journey. Again, thaks a bunch!! Hey, 2 weeks down, the rest of my life to go!!

Hi guys! I am a mother of 3 and am so ashamed to say it but yes, I smoked through all 3 of my pregnancies. I can honestly say that I barely even tried to quit, all I did was cut down to about 5 smokes a day. I'm not really sure "why" I chose to quit now, I had been thinking about it for a bit but never actively tried. Then one morning I literally woke up and said - that's it - I'm QUIT!! And haven't smoked since (January 3 '07) (yay!!!) So now I'm really going through some "things". I was able to quit, just like that, cold turkey almost 2 weeks ago. Why did I not do this for my babies? Why couldn't I have tried like I did this time? The guilt I am now feeling by this is so overwhelming. I know my emotions are a bit out of whack right now dealing with and maintaining my quit, but really, I hold my 5 month old or look at my other 2 girls doing school work (they are 11 and 5) and I just start to cry. I feel so selfish for not quitting while pregnant with them. I hope now I can make it up to all of them by succeeding in this quit. Have any other of you "quitters" smoked while pregnant and are quit now? Do you ever "get over" the guilt and remorse? Or atleast stop crying about it? Thanks in advance!!

I smoked during both of my pregnancies.. The worst thing was that when I was pregnant with my son my doctor told me he wasn't growing as fast as he should be and I had to go for tests to make sure he was ok.. I was a wreck for almost 3 weeks.. I had to wait 2 weeks before the test and then a few days after the test to get the results..Do you think I quit KNOWING that there was a possibility that it was effecting the health and well being of my unborn child? Nope, I did not.. I cut down to 3 cigarettes a day but couldn't quit.. Thankfully he was fine and so is my daughter.. I felt awful about smoking during my pregnancies but not bad enough to quit.. I do feel bad now but like the people have already said, that is the past.. Just think about all the things you and your kids can do now that they have a smoke free mom.. Your oldest daughter is probably SO proud of her Mom : ) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/9/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 8 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 128 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $60 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15

I smoked through my pregnancy, and like you, I cut back to less than 10 a day. This was 20 years ago. I wasn't ready to quit then. I simply didn't want to quit worse than I wanted to smoke, so I didn't quit. I knew I should quit, and I wished I didn't smoke then, but I just didn't have it in me to quit. You did the best you could, and so did I and anyone else who has smoked through pregnancies. Be thankful you quit now. Someone asked me how I quit, and I said: "It's as if a switch was turned on in my head, and I was just done smoking." I was ready to quit - I wanted to quit more than I wanted to smoke. Simple as that. Please don't beat yourself up for something you cannot change. You can change the future and you are doing that. You have quit, and continue to choose to quit each day... move forward and feel so very proud of yourself! My daughter is 20, and I'm sure she would have been glad if I had quit when she was younger as your girls are now. Be glad... enjoy your family!! Don't look back.

Hi All, Wanted to add just a little more input here for everyone in regard to nicotine and pregnancy (as I too...smoked with all three of my babies) Did you know that CHILDREN WITH THE ATTENTION DEFICT DISORDERS can be calmed down with a nicotine patch? or a drag off of a cigarett? I'm not encouraging anyone to give their child a cigarett, but warning any new "going to be MommY"...QUIT NOW ...SMOKING IS NOT AN OPTION [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 17 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 819 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $82.79 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 32 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

Well, I had 3 pregnancies. I stopped the second I even suspected I was pregnant the first time - and lost the baby. I continued with smoking with the other 2. That doesn't matter. You can't change it and I think this is just the post-quitting blues. (I have cried rivers of tears over things; not this particular one but similar things from the past. Probably because we've been masking our feelings for YEARS by lighting up instead.) The tears are part of the cleansing process I think. Though consider some supplements if they continue (St John's Wort, Vitamin D, or Omega 3 + 6 fish oils are ones to consider). Meantime, hug your kids. You are showing them strength and determination and are winning more time with them as a result. They love you - and they will never even THINK about whether or not you smoked back then. Hugs to you.

I know the feeling. I have one son and I didn't quit then. IT is hard to accept the fact but in time, it should get better. I know how you feel. You can't look back though!@= [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/15/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 246 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,934 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1107 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43
