Answer

I quit cold turkey with #1 and doc congratulated me and said it was the best thing for baby

Answer

I quit cold turkey and didn't have any problems, I was a 1-2 packs a day for 9 years, the withdrawals weren't horrible either. But everyone reacts differently to quitting, if you start feeling edgy or having horrible withdrawals then you should start weaning yourself off. Good luck!! My advice is to keep yourself distracted as much as possible.

Answer

It’s not as much of a stress as people once said it was. You should really quit for the health of your baby and cold turkey is just the best way to do it. I did it and I know other people who did. I won’t lie, some days, I still struggle and it’s been six months. Mostly, after he first two weeks, it’s a breeze.

Answer

it is fine if the cravings don't drive you too crazy. in a few days the nicotine will have left your body.

Answer

My friend was told by her doctor to ease out of it. He said going cold turkey could cause stress on you which could stress the baby. I'd consult with your doctor!

Answer

With my first I was smoking when I got pregnant.  I had so many people telling me to ease up to not "shock" the baby.  My midwife told me that is completely NOT true.  She said the absolute best thing for your baby is to quit cold turkey ASAP.  She said the difference in the placenta of a woman who smoked during pregnancy vs. didn't smoke or quit was crazy.  Hopefully cigarettes just start making you puke like they did for me, it made it easy to quit.  Good luck.

Answer

Alcohol and cigarettes can be cut cold turkey - and should be. Other prescription meds you should discuss with your doctor.
