alright ladies I need some help!! Help is the key word. Dont need anyone's judgement or opinions. But im having trouble cutting back even more on smoking than I have. & i really want to progress further to be down to none. & quit by 3rd trimester.
** I need some tips & pointers from people who have been through this. ways that helped you fight that urge & keep ur mind occupied.
I was a heavy smoker before finding out I was pregnant a pack to 1 1/2 a day!Am down to 8 -10 on days I'm home. If im working it can be as little as 4-6 total in a day. I do use the filters but it still doesn't easy my mind at all of the guilt.
** Please anyone with tips would be greatly appreiciated. & if u got something negitive to say keep it to urself bc I put myself down enough & doesn't do anything to help.

@raquely Patches & gum or any replacements I ran by my doc & she said I'd rather u just cut back 1 or 2 at a time. Because they disperse more nicotine to the bloodstream thru ur mucus membranes. & are more harmful & addicting to the baby.. been trying hard candies but those just are helping me for all the in betweens.

Best thing for me was the gym and staying as busy as possible. Try to not stress at all (that is when my cravings would come back the worst!) try to keep your emotions under control and stay calm at all costs.
Quitting cold turkey was the only way I could make sure to stop.

@mommy.to.sterling I thought that might be the case to be honest I wanted to wait till I was out of the risk point bc i am a high risk with reoccurring MCs so once I made it as far as 9 weeks ((never made it past 7 prior)) I started my cut back & no problems. but now I feel like I'm stuck at this number having a harder time getting the # down. It's been a thought in my mind, & a some aniexty will i be strong enough. Wish it made me sick so it just mentally was not a feeling I wanted : /

At this point & time mama I'd say you are!! you were able to. Not saying I'm not strong enough I know it's a mind over matter aspect. I just gotta get my mind there..

@kitcatmeow8383 thank you your kind words & encouragement puts more drive back into my mind set rather than doubt! & thats what I'm starting now if finding things to keep busy while home. starting to see my burst of energy back which is helping me fight the urge longer. I know its all about keeping busy. I even will set a time frame on thing. like I know i had half when at woke up say at 930 I can't finish that till anytime be4 11:30 noon. urges hit but i will normally then grab something to munch on or keep my mind busy while that passes. Again thank you, & greatly appreciate your advice & tips!
