Smoking

[smokyjoan]

Feel ashamed and embarrassed so have name changed...

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and feel rough, constant sickness, nausea the works.

But I'm still smoking.
It seems to be the only thing the eases the nausea.

I was a heavy smoker before and am now smoking between 2 and 5 cigarettes a day, so I have cut down a lot. Some days I only have one, but I have at Keats one every day. I feel so guilty but I just can't seem to stop.
I'm hiding it from my partner and everyone else.
I was using an electric cigarette which was helping but now all the flavours make me vomit and I can't face it.

I always said I'd give up smoking the second I found out and I genuinely thought I could do it but it's so much harder than I thought it would be.

Please help, any advice will be amazing, I feel so awful about it

Good luck! Remember it is one cigarette at a time. If you have one, don't do what I was often tempted to do, and think Oh well, it's a bad day, I may as well have another one and start again tomorrow. Every cigarette you don't smoke is good for your baby.
