Are there any other moms having a hard time totally giving up smoking?

Question

I just wanted to know if there was any other moms having a hard time totally giving up the occasional cigarettes. I'm one who has tried to give it up even when not pregnant and it was really hard to do, but sense being pregnant I've really cut back alot and try to just have an occasional cigarette to help get me through. I know many people are like that's the worst thing ever u should be damned. But its a struggle. 
I just ask no negative comments, mainly want this for those who are still struggling, and postive comments what helped you for those whom accomplished quitting.

Answer

Girl, I'm not a smoker but I've seen first hand how stinkin hard it is to quit! I think the fact that you've cut down a lot needs applauded! I hope you can continue cutting back until you're a non smoker! You can do it! It's so hard but you've done so much good already!

Answer

The first pregnancy I had a hard time (prior I was smoking like a carton a week, it was awful) and I never really stopped, I calmed down a lot but didn't stop. When I miscarried at 13 weeks i decided I wouldn't smoke next time. Mind you, doctor said it wasn't that and nothing I did caused the miscarriage but still. So I slowly cut down after the miscarriage and during when we were ttc, once I found out (at 3w3d) the first week of take one or two hits a day from my husbands cigarette, but the nausea kicked in too which probably helped. And since like 4w6d I haven't had even a hit. I'm now 17w3d! It helped me to think every time I had/have a craving that baby can't get away from the smoke, that he's trapped. Just slowly cut back. Don't quit cold turkey as the withdrawal can cause MC my obgyn told me. And don't feel bad, so long as your aim is to quit you're doing great! Good luck mama!

Answer

I personally didn't have a problem quitting, but just do what these other ladies are saying and take it day by day. Maybe try getting one of those vapes without any nicotine in it and trick your mind into thinking you're smoking and slowly fade off of that as well.best of luck to you!!

Answer

I haven't been at to give them up completely I'm trying though! 😩 I'm 25 weeks and I've cut back a lot . I always talk to my doctor about it. How far are you?

Answer

My friend did is if you smoke 2 boxes in one week cut it down to 1 1/2 then keep breaking it down little by little.

Answer

I don't smoke and never have but everyone in my family does. Get some dried pineapple. Pineapple has been proven to cure nicotine cravings. Good luck! And after your pregnancy if you still want to work on still quitting get the chantix patch. (Idk if it is safe during breastfeeding and have no idea if your going to breastfeed but ask your doctor if you are going to breastfeed) that made my mom quit but she started again because she got around big time smokers again and said that is one of her biggest mistakes is starting again when she could have easily said no since she had no cravings for them anymore.
