Smokers

[kayla3510]

What did y'all use to stop smoking? I was on Welburtin until I found out I was pregnant....I'm prone to miscarriages I had one 3 months ago....I have cut back tramendously down to about 5 a day but would love ideas & help

What o did to stop smoking was buy a pack. I wenthome and wrote down every reason I could think of  as to why I was quitting. I mean top bottom sides.. I left the back open so I can mark the days I've been quit. Then I taped it shut. Tons of tap. That way if I wanted one. I would have to read it while I fought the tape. I always carry them with me and my lighter never leaves my pocket. Sounds nuts,  bit it worked for me. My Dr saw the pack of smokes as I was digging for something and he started lecturing me until I pulled it out AMD showed him. He thought it was cool and want it when I'm done with them.

I quit cold turkey. It wasn't pretty the first month lol, but I thought of my baby as a motivation. I haven't smoked in 4 months. I'm 22 weeks now and some days are so stressful I want one still. You can do it! And limiting is a great way to start. Ask your doctor about patches or meds you can take for it while you're pregnant.

cold turkey for me, but that doesn't work for everyone

I still smoke, not proud but I've cut back a lot. I'm 24 weeks and all ultrasound have shown a perfectly healthy ahead of schedule boy. Just cut back as much as you can. Any type of stress on your body isn't good for you or baby.

Your off to a good start... you could try making a schedule and give yerself so many a day... say 5 fpr today so u can have one at 9, 12, 3, 6, 9 do that for a couple days and then do 4 cut out the first 9oclock smoke break and so on until yer not smoking anymore
