How do you quit smoking when you're pregnant?

Cigarette addiction and pregnancy don't mix, but you're not alone in fighting the urge to smoke!

We can help you with some advice on how to quit smoking completely.

  • Ask your doctor, your gynecologist or your midwife for advice. They will listen to you and advise you.
  • Call a tobaccologist or the Tabac info service platform who can guide you in your approach.
  • You can also meet with a hypnotherapist or an acupuncturist who will work on the sources of the desire to smoke.

Opinions on smoking marijuana during pregnancy? I smoke a joint a day to deal with my depression, anxiety, nausea, and to gain appetite. I'm 14,weeks, and am lost in trying to giving it up for the baby. anybody had a baby while smoking, or have any issues of having a healthy baby? I'd be lying if i said we'd be healthier and more stable if I quit. Help?

I think you should talk to your dr to help with alternatives for nausea, anxiety & appetite but personally i don’t think smoking should be continued especially when it comes down to what you’re rolling it with as some papers contain nicotine and thats no good, I know plenty of people who smoked throughout pregnancy and everything was okay, but theres no studies for or against it during pregnancy either. it may become a bigger issue further along depending on what state you live in when you do give birth they might drug test you.. i work in foster care currently and have seen babies taken from home simply because mom had marijuana in her system/babies system at birth.. i would recommend other alternatives to smoking and eventually quitting all together

Hey try to reach out to your OB Gyn about this, this is a serious thing you’re dealing with, no judgment, but I work closely with babies and special needs children, I’ve seen first hand what can happen long term to babies exposed to continued long term smoking and or drug use, Please seek help 💕 to have a child with severe medical complications or special needs is NOT FOR THE WEAK, most times these same kids end up in therapeutic foster homes 🏡 because the mom/parents can’t handle it.

Any mommas give me tips to help quit smoking? My son is 12 so it's been awhile since I've been pregnant thankfully I was able to quit cold turkey with him but with this one I'm struggling so bad. At my first prenatal appointment I forgot to ask the doctor if there is something that would help. I'm 8 weeks pregnant today and don't wanna harm my little one but it really is such a mental war on trying to quit 😪

Does anyone have any advice for how to quit smoking weed and vaping? Now that I’m pregnant I obviously want the absolute best for my baby’s health but I also don’t wanna quit cold turkey because I have a feeling it’ll affect the baby in a negative way since I’ll be going through withdrawal if I do it cold turkey. Please no judgement as I’m new to pregnancy and this whole first time mom thing🥹 I’m trying my best #tryingtoquitsmoking #pleasegiveadvice #anythinghelps #firsttimemom #almost5weekspregnant

Hey everyone I'm new on this app. I just been stressed and I don't want to feel judged in any way please. This is my 2nd pregnancy. My first pregnancy I quit smoking and everything. I'm 24 weeks pregnant right now and Its really hard to stop smoking cigarettes. I've tried, and I just keep going back 🤦‍♀️. I cut back but I'm really scared of sids and other health problems . I'm just really upset with myself and I feel like a huge failure.
