I'm an avid smoker. what to do?

[zzpop]

Hi, I just found out I was pregnant on Saturday, and have been trying to quit. I'm down to just 1 cigarette a day already. How did you guys stop smoking and how did it make it easier to stay done smoking? Minus the fact it's harmful to the baby.

Thank you ladies, I really appreciate the advice. I'm stopping rite now and buying a pack of gum, well a couple packs. I've already quit drinking and smoking weed, this was just the last thing I had to do.  Wish me luck. And I hope everyones babies turn out perfectly like the little angels they are. :)

When I quit it was really tough but I started keeping like dum dum suckers on me all the time...it helped ease the oral fixation. I know you probably dont want to load up on candy but I munch maybe 2 or 3 suckers a day and it did the trick for me

Its no different then  pot smoker stopping for the health of their baby. That should be enough to quit right there.

Im finding it hard to quit. For some its simple for others its quite hard. It doesnt mean we love our babies any less x

I quit cold turkey and gave everything away the second I found out. it was hard because I quit energy drinks at the same time and people hated me for like 3 weeks, but then I was fine. I do miss it, but this is how I see it: I have the choice to kill my lungs, my baby does not, so until my baby isn't constantly close to me I can't no matter how much I want to.

Thats all the fact you need.
Plus more.
Think about the importance and what your actually doing to help your baby get a healthy first start. Just because they cant tell you they cant breathe doesnt mean you should ignore it.

Now there is no miracle out there, unless your a hobby person but nothing will ever feel the same again.
I smoked about half a pack a day and i quit when i found out i was pregnant, i made this vow long ago, and at first it was hard. It only takes 3 weeks for cravings to subside.
I just didnt want to tell my baby she had respiratory problems because of me (if she were to have them)
Everytime i wanted to light one up i felt like an awful person.
Please take what i say seriously, you chose to bear a life, and you choose whether or not she smokes with you.
