Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!! Wonderful time for you and your husband but sometimes it gets a little bit hard because of all the changes you need to make. I found out I was pregnant with my DS when he was 7 weeks already. I have been smoking a pack of cigarettes and drinking a glass of wine per day while going out until that day. I gave up my wine imediatelly but it was hard with the cigarettes. My DH( who is still a smoker) just took my pack of cigarettes away. What I did first few days was to take my DH cigarette when I was getting desperate and have a puff but without breathing in. Just the habit of holding it and the taste of it made it a little bit better. The moment we went for a scan and I saw the little bub and heard the heart beat I knew it I can not do anything that can harm him. It wasn't about me anymore and was about another life now. With smokers it's a bit funny. They don't listen to anyone so I think YOU need to decide and just give up Completely! One. two, three or a pack per day it's the same. Now my DS is 7 months old healthy child. Didn't smoke a cigarette since 1 year and 4 months. Still feel like having one with a glass of wine but really happy I cut it out of my life for my son. I coudn't have done it just for myself. Sorry I didn't read what stage of pregnancy you are but it's never too late to give up when you decide. Nobody else can do it for you. During the pregnancy the reality of another life doesn't sink in for a while. Maybe if you hear a heart beat, see the bub, read about the harm smoking can do may help you decide to give up. Pregnancy it's just the first chapter of learning that you need to first think about your baby and than about yourself. It's all worth in the end. Good luck with giving up. Positive vibes coming your way.

Did my DH/ DS matching T-shirts in Dubai Mall - ground floor. On the DH's I wrote 'Pint' and DS's 'Half Pint'. They were so cute... Since it's a little early for this message and strange if it's a girl :) maybe somthing saying 'World's best dad' or 'Dad/ father in training' <em>edited by pancakemum on 10/01/2011</em>
