how do i quit smoking

I haven’t quit smoking/edibles and I’m 28 weeks with a healthy baby and he’s a week ahead. I have talked to my dr and I quit smoking cigs, I actually quit before my positive test, like 3 days before. Cannabis helps with morning sickness and I’ve had it this whole time. She is not concerned at all actually. I’ve been smoking for the last 4 years to help with my endo so shes seen improvements over the years personally. All medications before didn’t work 🤷🏼‍♀️

I smoked while i was pregnant, my OB was aware and she's a spoiled 5yr old! It helped with my depression. Its your choice but if you do continue to smoke let your OB know.

Listen, I'm not trying to get any heat from anyone either for responding to your question but I'm on a similar boat as yourself. Im an active pot smoker & unfortunately a meth addict for about a year and a half now. I have been able to stop smoking weed less & less but meth is literally something I used to do daily for such a long time now. At first it was a breeze & walk in the park to keep it off my mind for my growing bump.. But as days & weeks are starting to turn into months without using I'm becoming irritable and starting to crave it EVEN if I know its horrible to have these thoughts. However, for my babies sake & for my own I decided to have an open heart to heart talk with my partner (he has always lived a sober lifestyle unlike myself) and he suggested a hobby to keep me busy. Try taking natural supplements like ive been doing. Exercise if you can. Read. Paint/draw. Stay away from the bad influences in your life (if any) & just remember its not for you its for the baby. Back to your dilemma, Although I heard weed has no clinically proven effects on babies I know the struggle is real. If this is your choice I suggest what I mentioned above, other then that get your medical card if you decide to continue to use. Getting your medical card can prevent CPS from getting involved the further you get towards giving birth, or so I heard, but laws might have changed depending where youre from so look into it just to be safe. Good luck & hang in there!

Where I'm from at least 50% of the people smoke (cigarettes). When a woman gets pregnant she is usually advised to keep smoking no more than 2-3 light cigarettes a day (depends on how much she smoke prior), since quitting cold-turkey may mess up your hormones and cause stress etc. I don't know about weed. However, make everyone you live with GET OUT! No smoking around pregnant woman or baby (they should go outside - balcony, yard or garage).The one thing that helps me with cravings tho (again for cigarettes, not weed) is sunflower! Roasted and salted sunflower seeds the kind with the shell. Try it. And they are harmless to the baby. Another advice would be to shower using hotter water and exercise, but the sunflower seeds are the best. Good luck.

The first week of quitting anything is the hardest. The thing that stops me is thinking of having an unhealthy baby... also, if your sig other loves you, he will support you. Just talk with him about you needing him to stop smoking

The day I found out I smoke like 10 blunts lol then the next day I didn’t smoke nothing been that way going on 7 months now I just take it day by day ☺️ what keeps me going is not being by my family because they all smoke 😫 It was a stress reliever for me as well but you can do it be strong, Go to the car or for a walk around the block.

Girl!!! This was my story. Okay so I replaced my habit with something else....it sounds strange, but I meditate now. Find something that'll keep you busy in your mind because wanting to smoke is all a mind set. I meditate and do pregnancy yoga. My husband smokes all the time and would bring his brothers over (before corona) and they'd all go and smoke. I'd go into my "safe place" (my closet lol) and just meditate for my baby. I've been clean for 7 months. It also helps if your boyfriend doesn't bring it around you or puts it in a different spot then you're used to. Find a support person, whether it be a friend or family member you can confide in. It's hard at first, but keep thinking of your little one and itll be easier along the way. Plus nothing is stopping you from a joint at the end of your pregnancy! You can do this girl!
