Hey babe! Congrats on your pregnancy ❤️ I was a heavy smoker when I was pregnant. Everyday I tried to cut down to about less than 7 sticks and not finish a cig. Everyday I was feeling the fear and guilt to baby. But at 6 weeks I suddenly developed nausea to the cig, as well as to the cig smell. Then, pregnancy nausea kicked in till 5th month of pregnancy. So from week 6 onwards, I quit smoking cause I couldn't stand the smell. I just gave birth last January. The urge to smoke is there, but due to breastfeeding I resist the temptation. All the best to you and I hope you will naturally quit too! ❤️
