Craving a cigarette!!

[Queenbee95]

Anyone else an ex smoker? I’ve been craving a cigarette for days now. I can literally taste the nicotine in the back of my throat and it’s making me feel sick!

Anyone got any tips on how to curb the craving?

I’m 30 weeks and quit when I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks, so it’s not like I’ve only just quit 😰

I can’t deal!!!

Count how much you've saved by not smoking these few months, maybe splash some of the money to treat yourself.

I’m 30 weeks also and quite the day I found out. Sometimes though I really could go one(not that I would) just sometimes for instance a night like tonight(Saturday) I’d sit with a glass of Prosecco and nip outside for wee cig.
I miss those days lol.

I’ve stopped every pregnancy (always managed to go back to it - terrible I know!) I know I would never actually have one, I’d feel too guilty for baby, but the craving is awful

i gave up smoking almost a decade ago and have been craving a ciggie this whole pregnancy – I feel your pain!

@Queenbee95 I gave up as soon as I found out also , luckily I was sickened by the smell
But one factor that helped ( even tho the craving was sometimes there ) was the amount of money I saved
I think it was almost £300+ a month cos I was a heavy smoker
I gave birth on Tuesday & had a cig yesterday cos I'm so sleep deprived & I vomited from the taste

Just think of how far you've come

I am EXACTLY the same!
I found out at 4 weeks I was pregnant, I stopped smoking the same day.

I would usually smoke between 10-14 a day?
Every single day has been a struggle! I'm 28 weeks now and I STILL crave one!
I don't think the craving will ever go xx

I vape and was advised by my midwife it's fine to continue vaping as it doesn't contain the tar and carbon monoxide like cigarettes do. However I have dropped right down from 12mg to 3mg now so barely any nicotine. I'll probably drop to zero and then hopefully just break the hand to mouth habit especially when baby here and I'm occupied. It's even more difficult in current circumstances being locked in the house bored so I understand you craving!

I am 12 weeks and vaped for years before finding out I was pregnant - weirdly have started craving cigarettes and seem to have smoking dreams most nights, where I'm sitting outside with a wine or a coffee and smoking!!!

Was the same when I was pregnant, also craved larger and I hate it!! Obviously didn’t have either, when baby comes you wouldn’t be interested in a cig really!! Seriously, weird!!

It’s crazy isn’t it? One of the reasons I knew I was pregnant was the smell of smoke was making me physically sick! I hate this craving though.

I could never get into vaping, my sister vapes but every time I’ve had a try I literally feel like my lungs/throat is closing up 😂 it’s weird.

Well done to all of you though! It’s great to hear we all have that control, I know many women who continue to heavily smoke all the way through their pregnancies

I know, I don’t understand how they could do it!! The guilt would eat me up every time I lit up!!
I used to crave mcds, had to be Big Mac, large fries smothered in bbq sauce- only had one on a Saturday but oh my I counted the days down for it! Better than craving soil or coal though 😂
