Help,I am a smoker but now i am pregnant and need help qutiting

Hello, congratulatons on the pregnancy. I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant with my son. It took me the first trimester but after that not a single one. This is how I did it and it may sound silly but it worked for me. A craving only lasts about a minute or two so if you can get through that minute you're good til the next. Everytime I got a craving I would brush my teeth or get something to drink. Anything to get that taste out of my mouth ya know what I'm talking about. The first week was easier than the second week. But after that you should feel so proud of your self that the strenght and power that it will make you feel will push you on to finish. And remember it only takes 30 days to break a habit. After the thirty days you really won't think about them anymore. No after meal craving or anything.

I quit with both my pregnancies. I had to tell myself taht I wasn't doing it for me, but for my children. It did take me most of the first trimester, but I did quit. I would just have to keep myself occupied so I found other activities to do, I would walk around our apartment complex if I thought I needed a cig, would usually wind me enough that I did not want one. It was much harder to quit with the second though. With the first one I didn't smoke anymore the day I found out. The second one is so much harder. Good Luck

reduce the no of cigrattes you consume per day.

3 points really, 1. If you have strong enough feelings for wanting your unborn child to be as perfect as possible , then you will give up; 2. if you need help then the medics that are looking after you during your pregnancy should be able to advise and assist you; and 3. If your husband and daughter love you as their wife and mother then they will try to understand how hard it is for you and will give you all the support you need from them. My advice, just give up, I know its hard, I've been there AND done it without patches and gum, but had lots of positive support from my wife.

you should hae a self control over this matter. for this you can do meditation

if you talk to JESUS CHRIST your maker and seek help from the scriptures(Bible) you will be completely free,you and your unborn child.Talk to JESUS in prayers

you know very well that smoking is a health hazard. I really hate those people who smokes especially in public. I was thinking that if they want to kill themselves, don't try to kill the person beside you. If you are thinking the benefit of your child, you will not even think of smoking again. Try the internet and look for lung cancer and the pictures of the people who are chain smokers...they have black lungs! yuck

good for you to have thought of quitting because of your baby...i'm not a smoker, i hate smoking bigtime, but i know personally know some chronic smokers who tried quitting by eating candies when the urge to smoke comes up. eating, chewing gum, anything to keep the mouth busy. try it?

you can quit smoking right away by totally giving it up...just just have to do is change your phycological thinking regarding smoking. No need to smoke ..and whenever you think that u need a smoke just take some herbal remeady which is avilable in the herbal medical stores...remeady such as, Rx-Hale tablets - to prepare your body before beginning nicotine withdrawal. Crave-Rx Drops to reduce craving, control appetite and prevent weight gain during withdrawal. Triple Complex NicoTonic tablets to reduce side effects of nicotine withdrawal. Remember one thing, Each time you try to stop smoking and fail, it becomes more difficult. Physically your body builds up a resistance and psychologically you begin to see yourself as a failure - someone who cannot beat the addiction. Better quit smoking now

as you smoking it is quiet meas you do not love yourself but if you at least love your child and if you have respect to her/his future you must not usnig any more

you should quit even if its hard. you're just risking your babys health. and remember the first trimester is the stage were all the major organs are being develop. even if its hard, you should..

Well, it's not really good for the baby. smoking I mean.... When I realized as early as 2 weeks that I was pregnan with my angel. Right there and then, I stopped. You see, your baby is enough as a motivation for you to styop smoking. Smoking is not really good for the baby. It can give you baby physical defectls like cleft. And baby's lungs and other vital organs will be weak and worst comes to worst, it can cause miscarriage. For you, I suggest, you chew buble gum and blow like you are smoking something.

all u need 2 do is hold ur mind stronger n stay determined.. dont quit smoking all of a sudden.. jus make it gradual n as steady.. coz stopping it all of a sudden may lead to rew mental side effects..

heya, i know how you feel as i quit cold turkey with my first child. be positive, and what helped me the most is knowing i have done everything in my power to be the best mother i can be and not have any regrets. my cousin had her baby a few months after me and she was a pack a day smoker and did not quit and her baby was tiny at full term and had to go into ICU. the doctors said it was because the baby was not getting enough oxygen. the first thing she did after labour was go out for a smoke. she didnt even try to feed it. it was sooo sad... try to eliminate all temptations for a while even if it means not seeing certain unsupportive friends until you are over the worst of it. in the end it was all about having a healthy baby for me and i hope it will be for you..i hope this helps in some way..

its never too late, i was also a regular smoker, but from the time i knew that I was pregnant (1 month) i just quit coz i was sooooo scared that i may give birth to an abnormal baby or a retarded moron and such. its the scare that was stronger than the urge to smoke. give it a try.

You must quit smoking, for the good of the baby. You quit , whit very much self controll. Another way don t exist

all i can say is be strong and stay calm, support off family would be good, and when you know you have to quit because best for your baby you feel much better because of the support, so dont stress.

hi congracts! if u really want to quit that is good for u and for ur child, that child don't know anything it's going to be in earth by U only so u r the whole responsible for that child, the best idea is to take SUNFLOWER seed at time while u feel to smoke, it avoid that and it change ur mood and good for health. try it & say it to all

Seek your ob/gyn's advice on cessation programs.

hello, its a Gud thing that u r concern abt ur child...bieng a mother u can think that how much smoking is injirous for ur child..... if u r a regular smoker than i have a very gud idea for u.....when u will to smoke 1 cigrate....take smoke 2 cigrate rather than one then u will reallize urself and feel ashamed that u r not killing urself..u r killing ur own baby............ no body can help u inspite u........ so don't smoke..........
