Tips on quitting smoking???

Question

I just found out a couple days ago that I'm pregnant. I'm 6 weeks today and I am in the process of quitting smoking. I've heard going cold turkey can put a lot of stress on your body and I'm not quite sure what the safest way to go about quitting would be. Any suggestions?

Answer

Just go cold turkey! Think about the baby and it will be easier. Drink a lot of water and eat a lot of veggies and fruits. Try to do long walks.

Answer

Sooo reassuring to know I'm not alone trying to accomplish the same thing, they told me I actually had to step down due to the amount I've smoked for years and the fact that I already have a heart problem and because my heart normally beats fast and is even faster with little bit on board it could actually increase risk of a heart attack for me but gosh I just want to stop completely and immediately so down to four a day now on ultra lights they said by next week I should be ok to stop but the headaches are definitely a nightmare right now!! Good luck my loves sending lots of quitting POSITIVE energy y'alls way as well!!

Answer

Talk to your doctor! They're used to this question and can help you do what's right for you. Good luck!

Answer

I'm cutting back and trying to avoid my triggers. Gives me headaches now so less desire. I'm down to 3 a day at 6 weeks so I feel pretty good about stopping all together pretty soon here. Goodluck and definitely talk to your doctor!

Answer

I quit smoking the moment I knew I was pregnant at 4w4d. I think it's the will power that will help you to stop smoking i.e. How important the baby? Are you at high risk (age, health condition, history of miscarriage)? I had some withdrawal symptoms like flushes, waking up at night, moody for a week. It's now all good! I hope you are able to quit soon and enjoy your pregnancy journey! 😊

Answer

If you are a heavy smoker (over 2 pack per day) then it is recommended to stop over time rather than all at once. Usually they recommend cutting down my 2 cigarettes a day and then cut down by 1 a day when you get to 1/2 pack.

Answer

Google cleft lip babies. It is proved that smoking does it to babies. After that I bet you won't smoke any more. It worked for me. Moreover everyone knows smoking is super bad for baby. You won't harm that little creature right?:) I'm not smoking more than 2 years and super happy about it

Answer

I am in the same boat! I am so happy to read about someone who is struggling with this as well ( not that it's a good thing, I'm just happy to know I'm not alone) Thank you for asking the question!

Answer

Honestly I did 11 days ago and I'm shocked at how easy it was for me. 13 days ago o only smoked one. 12 days ago just a half. I got an email from my baby apps that said at 5 weeks your babies growth is very important and what not and the thought of hurting my baby and on the long run myself just made me feel guilty.

Answer

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I quit cold turkey with my first and didn't smoke again for 6 years. Now I've been smoking for 6 years. I quit with my first missed miscarriage, but then started back up. I wasn't able to completely quit with my last missed miscarriage. My goal right now is no more starting tomorrow. I've been doing a lot of praying!!!!
