Smokers?

Question

So curiosity is getting to me. How many of you are smokers and having a hard time quitting? Or if any of you have had a hard time and finally found a way to help you stop completely in a safe way, what was it? I'm a stress smoker and have been doing really good cutting back but having a hard time stopping completely. Think it's harder when you live with 2 other people who smoke like chimneys...

Answer

I just stopped. As soon as I got that positive, for myself there is nothing more important than the health of my baby. I guess I have strong will power. Good luck. X

Answer

I had a hard time with my first pregnancy & it's been easier with this one. I've gradually cut down - I chew a lot of gum. Now, soda on the other hand, I didn't stop drinking it with my first pregnancy and haven't stopped  with this one yet. Good luck girl. Chew gum & hard candies when you get the urge to smoke. It helps.

Answer

I have always had a hard time quitting. With my son I smoked a lot my whole pregnancy. This time I have had just a few here and there but now I haven't smoked one in 3 days. I've started eating better and working out and drinking tons of water and it has made me feel so good that I don't even want to smoke anymore! Just try to keep busy but also if you relapse don't stress, just try again! Good luck !!!!

Answer

Me! I am a stress and social smoker. Literally everyone I work with smokes as well. So I did okay cutting back but I was still craving. But once I found out I was pregnant it took me 1 week to quit and gum became my best friend

Answer

I had a very very hard time quitting but a 0% nicotine vape replaced the smokes and calms the urge.

Answer

I was just a social smoker, so it was quite a bit easier for me to give it up. I would really only smoke when I was drinking and I quit that too, of course, when I got my positive test. But if I can offer some tips... see if your employer offers any kind of quit smoking programs through your health provider or EAP. Try deep breathing instead, or maybe a low- or zero-nicotine vape option. And, if possible, I'd recommend not living smokers - that makes it so much harder! Mostly, just keep telling yourself it's for the baby's health. Good luck! You can quit!

Answer

Oh and cinnamon gum usually helps my cravings like big red and cinnamon Altoids

Answer

I am a smoker especially a stress smoker....I am meeting my OB this afternoon and I will be asking him what's my best option......

Answer

I've cut down from half a pack to 5 a day to 2 a day. I'm trying to quit but its really hard. I feel guilty. I also had to change the type of cigs I smoke to menthol which I know aren't good for baby.

Answer

Just think about the health benefits to your child if you quit! You don't want to be pumping your unborn baby full of that harshness. Every time you feel the urge, just think of your baby. If that doesn't help you quit, I don't know what will. Gum, mints, and suckers can help too!
