i am a heavy smoker whereby i can smoked 1.5pack in 24 hours( midnight wakeup toilet break 1 stick, before slp1 stick, after meals 1stick, chit chatting and watching shows 20 to 30min 1 stick.)one day, i told my husband and my sisters that if im really pregnant i sure quit smoking. yes that day came, i quitted smoking immediately after when i found out i was pregnant on a test kit at home (april2021) unfortunately, that pregnancy became a miss miscarriage when i was about 5weeks. it was devastated as my husband and i were trying for years, we even went to kkh for fertility check. everything was okay. it's hard to resist when your husband is smoking at home and at this point i keep psycho myself that i need a healthy body to allow my baby to stay although i do have to urge to smoke back. and yes, 1 year later (late april 2022) im pregnant again with a smoke-free body and just gave birth to my bbg last dec! never regret when you still can change it! try eating fruits(apple, orange, blueberries, strawberry, kiwi) instead of sweet. dont keep stay home. try to go out often. like for a stroll downstairs or to the shopping mall(enjoy free aircon since sg so hot)
