Avoiding coffee/tea and coke help me. Coz omg a ciggy with that combination was like omg. Lolz . This helped me. Venting, chewing gum,walks,e-cig, sleeping. I had lots of tantrums and tears and my man faced all my woes and his support was amazing lol.the bad thing is. Because i could taste food better from quiting and i had the pregnancy super nose and cravings i gaind 20kg.im now 39+2 i cant wait to hit the gym .

@MINNA1996  - telling people not to quit cold turkey is bs! .. thousands of women quit cold turkey and as they say "each cigarette does more damage" ...
I don't see how quitting cigarettes could make anyone loose their unborn when smoking causes miscarriage prem labour etc.  
But whatever makes you feel better about yourself.  

Octavia I think its brilliant you want to quit and I wish you every sucess - ask your dr for advice because all opinions here are just that opinions.

However I'd recommend when you do crave a cig take five mins break to breath relax and drink something.  Because we all still need our chill out :) best of luck ! :)

My dr reccommended against e cigs.  Vapes.  And even disposables. Just because its more than water vapor in there. Be careful with those!

Thank you ladies so much..
Funny some of u should mention I should try gum n candies cause I've been travelling with packs and packs of those in my handbag
But il limit myself on the cigs per day and try those candies and gum

Im 36 weeka and still smoke. I feel absolutely horrible and so afraid that something will be wrong with my baby. I am now down to 2 iggarettes a day. I worked very hard to get here. I quit cold turkey at 28 weeks for 5 days and noticed a severe decrease in movement and visited my doctor for an emergency ultra sound. My baby boys heart rate and slowed amd I had to stay on a monitor for 6 hours. It was the scariest thing that I have ever been through. Anyways, my doctor help make me a schedule to quit SLOWLY! my little man was traumatized by me quitting all at once. It was to much for him. My advice is to talk to ur doctor he/she can help you.

It's all mind over matter !  U have to be prepared and done mentally! Try the vaporizer cigs. Works great ! Or just put it down and tell yourself NO!!! It's hard but the thaught of my child's health was enough for me. Goodluck
