Really craving!

I’ve just found out that I’m pregnant. I took the test last night, saw it was positive, had a cigarette and haven’t had one since. Brilliant you all may say? But it’s so hard!! All I can think about is having a cigarette! What things did you do in the first few days to stop yourself reaching for a cig?

Drink water and deep breathe through the crave, the first week is the hardest, you can do it

Congratulations been a mother is the best in the world .

I Smoked for 35 years but not while I was pregnant ... in about a week you will naturally reject cigarrets.

Suck on something icy ..like frozen strawberries .👌
