I would talk to your Dr. about it but even just cutting back slowly would work. I have read that going cold turkey isn’t the best way because 1, you and the baby are addicted to it and 2, it is stressful and a lot of stress isn’t good for the baby!
I have also heard that every time you want to smoke to brush your teeth with cinnamon tooth paste or chew cinnamon gum… It gives you something to do and if you do light up after that it is so gross tasting that you won’t finish the smoke
oh and don’t be dumb… once you quit don’t start back up after the baby is born… it is worse for your child to live in a home where a parent smokes then it is if you had smoked a pack a day your whole pregnancy

well,the physical addiction to nicotine (no matter how long you have smoked) is out of your system in 3 days. So everything after that is mental addiction,the best way to fix that is simple transferance (switch something for ciggz).I used exercise,when i found out i was pregnant and i’d get the urge for a cig i would start doing chest presses (also chest presses help prevent the breasts from sagging) and the urge goes away after a few min,especialy since my home gym is in front of the tv,lol.i still do it to this day and it works.

What seemed to help me when I was pregnant with my daughter was to just constantly keep in mind every time I went to light a cigarette that every cigarette you smoke is harming your baby. That helped me keep strong during the quitting process knowing that I was doing what was best for my baby.
Also, try some gum or lollipops do have handy for cravings. I wish you all the luck!! I know it’s hard, but I hope you quit soon!! =D Good luck!

wow, i completely apologize for my answer, but that is the stupidest question iv read all year, its your baby!!! you should have it in your head that your baby is more important then a peace of **** you put in your mouth!! you really wana quit? throw out your stupid cigarets, and buy baby clothes and items, like a crib, lil bootys, lil socks, lil onesys! a stroler! a baby moniter, some blankets, a lil baby seat for when you cant use the stroler, some lil fence doors, you knwo the kind you put on stairs so your baby doesnt die, or inbetween doors so it doesnt go to the kitchen or bathroom and drown in the toilet or drink cleaning protucts, also those locks for lil cabenet knobs, baby food, diapers, binkys, barney stuff or w.e. so it can learn if you want, a job to be able to support your baby if the dad is a loser, and a job even if the dad is perfect, so you can have a part in your babys life, health inssurance, i can keep going on, its an endless list!, so next time dont ask stupid questions and just use commen sence!! or ask your mom, cause remember you came out of her! and she would have an answer better then any1 elses! and again i completely apologize.

My Dr. told me not to quit. Quitting causes stress and will harm the
baby. So I cut back to 5-7 a day. The result. 3 pregnancies, 3 big
and healthy babies. Between 8.11 lbs and 7.9 lbs. All because I listened to my Dr. His advice benefited my children.

don’t buy anymore cigarettes or marijuana or whatever you smoke.
no more rock either. the best way to quit smoking is stopping smoking.
don’t take anything anyone offers you either. let people know, peer pressure shouldn’t be a factor when your talking about a baby’s health.

best way is cold turkey!
PS- if you JUST found out today that you are pregnant, depending on how far along you are, the baby is most likely not addicted yet.

well the fact that you could kill the baby and yourself by smoking should be enough motivation.

Get a sonogram and look at your baby,… I think that would do it.
congratulations
