smoking during pregnancy

I was a pack a day smoker until I found out I was pregnant, I've slowed down A LOT. Five-seven cigarettes a day. I want to just quit "cold turkey" because everytime I smoke I feel so guilty and hurt. But my OB said stopping so sudden can cause a miscarriage.. I just don't know how I can handle to guilt and sadness I feel when I smoke

Try to cut down a lot more, or insted of smoking the full cigarette just hit it a few times. Try to keep yourself busy with other things & keep your mind off of it. Goodluck mama, you can do it!

Why don't you smoke every other day for a week then quit completely. So its not cold Turkey but its not every day either
