Tina: Smoking because of the stresses of having young children.
Tina – 28 weeks pregnant on:
Smoking because of the stresses of having young children.
Tina said: “I smoke most first thing in a morning. I am really bad first thing and I think its cos I’ve got a little devil for a daughter!”
Midwife Hull said: "We know smoking can be used as a way to get rid of your stress, try having 5 minutes time out, a few deep breaths of fresh air can help as it’s the deep breathing that you do when you have a cigarette that reduces that stress."

Tina: Being emotionally low when trying to stop smoking during pregnancy.
Tina – 28 weeks pregnant on:
Being emotionally low when trying to stop smoking during pregnancy.
Tina said: “I didn’t like the idea of going in a group. I had a one-to-one and I found that a lot better.
It was nearly breaking my heart, cos I was like “oh God, I’m being deprived of my cigarettes!”
Now I didn’t even think I was struggling just because of my hormones and everything I was feeling deprived anyway. I felt like I needed somebody just for me to talk to, or cry to, do you know what I mean? Just to sit and cry, but I couldn’t cry in the room because there was so many people and I would have felt a bit silly sort of sat there crying just because I’m giving up smoking.”
Midwife Hull said: "Being emotional is very normal in pregnancy lots of changes are happening to your body.
Usually the smoke free team see you one to one and they understand how you will be feeling, so having a cry on someone’s shoulder is totally normal!
Having nicotine replacement therapy can help with those strong withdrawal feelings."

Kelly: How shocking truths about smoking in pregnancy can have a big effect.
Kelly – 21 weeks pregnant on:
How shocking truths about smoking in pregnancy can have a big effect.
Kelly said: “Like my friend was smoking while she was pregnant and I think it was a leaflet or somet’ she had just randomly posted through her door. I can’t remember what it said but it put her right off and she stopped. Before that she was a really heavy smoker.”
Midwife Hull said: "Sometimes shock tactics can work but we try to provide hard facts rather than scaring people. We know that if you smoke babies tiny heart has to beat much harder and faster due to the reduced oxygen it is receiving. For some people this can be a scary fact for others it might be acceptable."

Kelly: Stopping smoking during pregnancy and staying stopped after baby is born.
Kelly – 21 weeks pregnant on:
Stopping smoking during pregnancy and staying stopped after baby is born.
Kelly said: “Like most people, if you’re on 100 a week you’re addicted and I’m lucky really.
Maybe I’ve just got will power or whatever, but I just stopped like that. But then I find it hard to keep off it once I’ve had the baby, because its like when I’m pregnant its like ‘oh well I don’t want to hurt the baby’ and I wouldn’t smoke in my house around my child cause I don’t want him to see me smoking cause then he’ll think its right. Erm, so I’ll go outside if I really want one but it does become rarer.”
Midwife Hull said: "Staying stopped after you’ve had your baby can sometimes be harder than when you are pregnant. Feeling tired and stressed is usually the time you would reach for the cigarettes. Try going outside for a bit of fresh air or calling someone when you feel stressed. Putting baby in the pram and walk round the block or pop baby in their cot and have 5 minutes time out.
The smoke free family’s advisers can offer a personalised plan which will give you ideas to cope better and help to tide you over the hard parts.
You should be feeling fitter and more healthier since stopping this will really help you when looking after your new baby imagine getting a chest infection and having to get up to your new baby.!
As new parents you are your children’s role models, not smoking is one of the best ways to be good model."
