Cigarette smoke contains more than 3,000 different chemicals that can potentially harm humans, and one of the main components of cigarette smoke is carbon monoxide, a known fetal toxin. If you want to quit and can't stop cold turkey, pls go for nicotine replacement therapies - nicotine gum, nicotine spray, and nicotine inhaler
This depends on you. I am a heavy smoker before. Once I know I am pregnant, I try cut down. I even volunteer to go for boring Counselling in kkh to push myself to stop smoking. I totally quit when I reach 3 months pregnant. Hope u can too!
Am a smoker too. First kid I smoke till around 7th month then stopped. Now I'm 7week preg, the moment I went to gynae check up, confirm my pregnancy, I stopped le. I know it's hard.. Jus try to snack away the thoughts. Standby lotsa sweets or nuts or prune etc.
The strongest tool you have is your conscience and love for the baby in your tummy. Smoking will not do any good for the child so maybe you can use that as a motivation to quit. You can try to chew on mints or snack when you have the urge to smoke.
Go cold turkey. I was once a heavy smoker. But I keep it in my mind always that ciggarette is a very bad thing and I dont want any bad thing to happen to my child. I just keep on thinking about my child only. It works.
When i get to know that i was pregnant last year April,I stop smoking on that day bcoz of my baby. Actually, i been smoking for 14yrs before i got pregnant.Till now I don't smoke, my baby is going to 11months already
