quitting smoking in the first trimester

[hipsterhousewife]

Im 20 years old, ive been smoking since i was 8 years old, i smoked threw out my whole first pregnancy. Now im trying to quit ive been doing good but, i have really bad anxiety and if i take a few drags off of a cigarette it makes me feel better... any suggestions on what i can do to help, ive heard e cigarettes but its kinda the same thing. Any advice?

I know 8 is a little ruff, but i grew up horribly. But thats the truth.

Any time you give up something-
You Have to Replace it with something Else other wise you will always go back to it...
try chewing ice, eating Popsicles, (cinnamon - stated above) ..painting your nails! Lol idk just find something else to do in replace of smoking
Try smelling essential oils? They all have different uses, maybe look up one that helps w cravings. .
It's tough I know... BE strong You Can Do It!!♡♡

You can try substituting a cinnamon stick when you get a craving it helped me.

I am 21 smoked since 12 and I quit by switching to a vapor for two weeks and then that made me so sick I didn't even want to look at the vapor so I just stopped the vaping two days ago and don't want to smell cigarettes or anything because I get sick from the smell now. You just have to tell yourself you are done and let that be that. Cigarettes are not worth our babies health hope you stop smoking soon! " :)

E cigs arnt any good when pregnant either as i looked into this.  I know ots not good but to stop myself stressing i will still have the odd one during the days just if i feel like im getting really aggy!!! X

I found that just holding something that feels like a cigg in my hand helps, it makes me feel like im going to smoke a cigg. I depend on ciggs usually for stress and anxiety but i want to brratsfeed this time so im trying everything i can to quit! I wish you luck cause i know how hard it is
