Are any of you ladies smokers? How did you quit when you found out you were pregnant? I want to quit…

Try chewing gum when you feel like smoking

I smoked for 12 years!!! When I got my morning sickness I didn't have the urge to smoke anymore. And I still don't. I've been 4 months smoke free!!

I use to do dip before I found out I was pregnant

I know I'm capable of quitting, because I seriously want to. It's just early pregnancy is extremely stressful to me and it makes me want to smoke. I hate smoking knowing there's a little bean going in there, but every time I try to quit I buy another pack.

I know I'll be judged for saying this; I used to be a heavy smoker & I cut back as well but I never stopped. I smoke a cigarette maybe once a week. Other then that I don't intake and toxins. I'm healthy and my baby is as well. I just didn't want to cut back immediately and put extra stress km my baby. By no mean am Im condoning the habit. I just know how difficult it is.

I was and still do but whatever you do don't quit cold turkey.... I'm down to a half a cigarette a day.. the easiest way to cutback is start with 5 a day or 4 and cut back slowly

don't care who judges me because of the fact I didn't hurt Nathan by stopping instantly I've cut myself and him back...

That's not something to be judged about. I've spoken to a lot of women who continued at a pack a day throughout their pregnancy. I don't see smoking one a week to be the worst thing.

Just keep cutting back and dont stop cold turkey they say that could be worse. I stopped completely by the time I was 3 months. Its not easy but just stay strong.

People who know how strong tobacco addiction is wouldn't judge about this. Quitting is hard and stressful. Adding stress to a pregnancy is probably nearly as toxic as a cigarette here and there.

i dropped it right when i saw the word pregnant on the test, i couldnt stand thinking about harming my innocent baby

I couldn't quit immediately. because I was a 3 pack a day smoker, and my baby was already used to the amounts of nicotine before I even found out he was there . so my ob reccomended I cut back tremendously. I'm 36 weeks now and I don't smoke anymore, unless it's one of those days then I may have one or two hugely spaced apart. I quit fully when I hit 32 weeks. best way to quit is cutting down like you have been. each week give yourself a number of cigarettes to smoke on a day. then have the pack taken. after that, Make it a number or cigarettes in a week. soon enough you'll be able to quit and not need one at all. even if it's late in the pregnancy. sometimes quitting cold turkey does more damage to some babies and mommy than it would to continue smoking. depends on how much nicotine you take in in a day. quitting is very hard. Just because one person can do It. doesn't mean the next CAN. so don't let anyone make you feel bad. as long as you're trying and you're sticking with it. that's ALL That truly matters. my son is still very healthy, and I went all the way through up until a few weeks ago with a cigarette. some women even smoke til the day they go into labor with baby and still have a perfect healthy little baby. if you want to quit. you find a way to help quit. it doesn't always have to be cold turkey! good luck!

When I still had my morning sickness I couldn't smoke. I tried because I still had the strong urge but it just tasted bad to me and always made me feel worse. I've been quit a while now. I tried hitting a cig once about a month ago and it was TERRIBLE

I haven't hit morning sickness yet so maybe that'll do the trick.
