Hey Mummatotow,

I know how hard the struggle to quit is, though I haven't smoked for 7 years I use to be a pack or two a day girl (good ole pj 16's) People who have never smoked don't realise there are more than one addiction with smoking - there is the physical, emotional and psychological addictions and none are easy to kick.
A friend of mine who was a relatively heavy smoker was told by her Dr NOT to give up because it would put more stress on her and her twins. My friends twins are perfectly strong and healthy boys and mum continued as a heavy smoker right up until they were born.

If you can cut down without getting stressed then thats great and brings you one step closer to being nicotine free, if not then don't beat yourself up over it that will never get you anywhere and will put added stress on you and bub as well.

Congrats on how you've gone so far best wishes for onwards.
