This is what my wife did, she rolled some paper in the shape of a cig, and pretended to smoke it. As soon as you leave the hospital after having the baby, buy a large pack (50) as a reward.

Cold turkey is always the best way to go about it but if it is getting too hard for you or you don’t think that you can do it just talk to your doctor. I’m not sure if the gum or patch is even safe so please go ask your doctor, they might have a lower dose so you can start off with.

And just because all of your friend’s babies came out O.K. do you really want to chance it? It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Good luck on quitting! And just remember that even though it won’t be easy please don’t give up.

You can’t take anything to help you quit smoking. None of those products have been actually tested to determine safety. My recommendation is to cut back as much as you can. Stay with that for a couple of weeks and see how you are doing. Then decide if you can go cold turkey or not. Some women who quit cold turkey smoke lots more if they start again. You have to just fight this. It’s hard to quit, but realize that the average smoker quits 7-9 times before complete success. Took me 7 really effort-filled tries (I eliminated a lot of places where I allowed myself to smoke, so that is what ultimately helped).

i stopped as soon as i found out i was pregnant for my baby. the thought of smoking with my little baby in there i could never smoke ever. why would you want to make your baby smoke? i no its hard but what would you rather a cigarette or a healthy baby? i no what i would rather my baby!
9 months out of your life without a cigarette come on you can do it! good luck.

I knew someone who carried a pack like they smoked and did all the actions as well, but just didn’t ever light it.

Need to talk to your family doctor first…some doctors wont allow you to quit, because of stress to the fetus

There is nothing you can take. I was a smoker to and it took me untill I was 21 weeks to quite completely, Yes my son is healthy! You need to just slowly stop so if you smoke 10 a day then tomorrow try to do 9 and so on and so forth. Even if you dont quite completely cutting down is better than not. Yes it is hard but you can do it. Congrats and good luck with the little one.
