i was a smoker before i got pregnant. I would smoke almost a pack a day. When I found out i was pg at almost 4 weeks, i quit cold turkey. It was extremely hard, but i did it. If you cant do that, then talk to your doctor about safe options when you go for your appt.
Honestly, just think of that tiny helpless little baby inside you. That should be enough.
I am not a smoker, but I can’t imagine anything being more important to you than your baby’s health, including taking a drag from a cigarette.
Good luck! You can do it
I found out at 3 weeks i was pregnant and was able to stop around 7 weeks. Just start to cut back then stop. It takes willpower and the want to stop. The taste of cigs just started to taste awful so it made it easier.
I don’t think it would be mean to tell you that you’re being selfish. I quit smoking WAY before I ever got pregnant, and it was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. If you care about the health of your unborn child, you’ll put them down and walk away without any problems.
Just quit cold turkey! The first trimester is the most critical time in your baby’s development, their organs, and nervous system and bones are fusing. Smoking interferes with the much needed oxygen that infuses from your lungs to the placenta so your baby can breathe. Every time you smoke your baby is inhaling the smoke as well, and the nicotine is crossing the placenta. Please just think of your child and quit for them! You owe it to your baby.
Dip all of your cigs in lighter fuild, then put them back in the package. Next time you light up, I guarantee it will be your last.
You got to want to quit. It’s very possible to quit cold turkey! Don’t do it alone get someone to help you and just think about the baby. I think it’s great that your at least trying to stop!! Be strong you can do it and Congrats!!!
hi every time you smoke it makes the baby’s heart beat faster i don’t know maybe if you think of that all the time it may put you off sorry i am at a bit of a loss of what to say because i know it is so hard but so important to give up for the baby’s sake take care and good luck xx
Try getting a “fake cigarette” to puff on in between smoke breaks. Try to wean yourself. If you smoke a pack a day, cut down to 3/4 of a pack, then 1/2 a pack, then 1/4 of a pack, next thing you know, your desire to smoke will slowly fade away. They do have a lot of options for quitting though, best to talk to your doctor about what you can and can’t do while pregnant. If you’re having trouble cutting back, try to push having a cigarette for a little while. When you get the urge say “Hmm, I’ll go out in 10mins.” and do something else. You’ll forget about the cigarette for a little while at least. Enough to realize you’ve cut back without notice. Best of luck!
Just start cutting back..make a pack with yourself that today you will only smoke 5 then tomorrow 4 and so on until you have stopped…You can do it..
Talk to your doctor about safe options. I have to say you need to “pat yourself on the back” because you are thinking of quiting. I have friends, and aquainted with few whom smoked throughout their pregancys. They all faced consequences of all diiferent kinds, and you here trying to stop. That’s such a big step, and you should be proud of yourself. I’m not a smoker, so therefore I suggest you definitely speak with a health care provider…. Good Luck, and I hope you will find the help, and stay necotine free or weed free “whatever you be smooking…
I found out that I was pregnant at 5 weeks and stopped the day I found out. I just wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if my baby was born with something wrong with them because I smoked while pregnant. Thing of it this way, if you quite now by the time the baby is born you won’t even want one and that way your child will be more likely a non smoker. Its a better way of life for you and your baby. Good luck, i know it is hard just hang in there!!!
I quit cold turkey at about 8 weeks. I was very cranky and gained 15 pounds.. but I quit. “Out of sight, out of mind” Get rid of all your ash trays, lighters, old cases, and dont buy anymore! Cutting down never worked for me. If your husband, partner smokes, I would encourage you two to quit together..I can’t imagine living with a smoker during that first smokeless week.
Best of luck, feel free to email me if you need support!
Yay for you!
If you don’t have the will power to quit cold turkey, not everyone does, then just cut back every day until you are cigarette free. If you have to get a cheap planner and keep track of when you smoke. Monitor yourself if you’ve had 5 cigarettes today, aim for only four tomorrow, DO NOT let yourself have more than you did the day before.
Stay away from other smokers. Don’t go outside with them when they are smoking, even if you have no intention of smoking and are just doing it to chat. When other people are around you, ask that they not smoke or move to another area when they smoke. With any luck once the morning sickness really sets in cigarettes will disgust you so much you will be happy to leave them behind.
Good luck and congrats!
The way I stopped was that I loved the feeling of the cigarette in my hand so I would lite it up then just keep it between my fingers and not smoke it. Just the feeling of it there made me feel better, but over a few weeks I cut down more and more and then eventually I stopped. Also it helps when you do smoke don’t smoke all of it, only smoke half then less and less. People that don’t smoke don’t understand that it is hard to stop, smokers depend on cigarettes, and it become a routine for us and its hard to break the habit. Good luck! And I wish you the best!
