I just didn't realise, in my previous pregnancy that em smoking would effect the baby at all. Now I realise that a lot of the carbon monoxide I'm inhaling also goes into my baby.

Although I wanted to quit, it was difficult and I was worried that people would maybe think badly of me, because I wasn't able to do that, just like that.

It is hard still, because you kind of think "OK the childs not in me anymore, so its not passing through me" but even when they are by you, it's still... it's still on your clothes.

If you feel its going to be too difficult to give up smoking when you are pregnant, if you could just pick up the phone... its as simple as picking up the phone.

They just talk with you, its a friendly conversation, they don't try to push you at all. They speak to you and find out your faults and your feelings about the situation first.

They let you know what's available, what helps out there and its up to you then if you decide to take it.

Rather than telling me how bad it was that I was smoking, they focused on how good it was that I wanted to stop up smoking.

Its been really amazing having Aisla, love her to bits, and I do look at her and just think "I'm so glad that I did that"

I think I've done brilliantly and I think that because I'm always being told how brilliantly I've done,. it makes you feel really good about yourself
