What are some ideas to give up smoking i am pregnant?

i want to hear how others gave up smoking and i can't have patches or gum or any of that as i am pregnant

Well I just asked my self what it was that I wanted...........I asked how smoking was helping me in what I wanted for myself and my health....Then I stopped...you'll only quit if you WANT to or you're tired of it....

Think of your unborn child. Would you ever dream of rubbing the face of a baby just born in an ashtray? I don't think so, but in a way that's what your smoking is doing to the baby.
Having said that, you need to break out of your 'smoking routine' - for example, if you have a cigarette after breakfast, try changing your breakfast time and what you eat. Stay away from friends who smoke. Smoking is a bad habit and it can be broken. You can break it, come on, you can do it.

Since you can't have patches or gum, you might have to try cold turkey. I don't know if you could take something like Chantix because you are pregnant. When I was pregnant that was the one and only time I quit. I just kept telling myself that it's not fair to my unborn child to suck in this nasty stuff. Plus with all the problems you hear with babies with low birth weight, birth defects, future lung diseases, ADHD is also blamed on mothers who smoke as well. I know it's hard, I'm a smoker, but just put it in your mind that your giving your baby everything you possibly can to start a good life. Best of luck to you and your family.

No offense, but smoking is more harmful to your BABY than the gum or patch.
The fact that you are pregnant should be enough to want to quit smoking.
I used to be a smoker, I tried both the patch and the gum. The gum worked the best, but then I became addicted to the gum. The only true way I quit was to pray and give It to God. Along with wanting to quit and through prayer I have succeeded. Its been 9 months.

your pregnancy is the main reason to give up smoking!!! it can cause health problems to your child! quit it its really dangerous! try to think of your child than of another cigarette. I gave up smoking myself abot a month ago and I feel free and happy about it. good luck!!!

Let's see... If you're smoking while pregnant, there's a high chance that your baby will have a downs syndome, heart desease, lungs problems and you might miscarry. Or the baby will be born too soon and might be mentally and/or physically retarted.
There are alot of other things that can happen to your child due to smoking.

So is smoking worth it?

smoking can cause major health problems in your baby.

anyway, i stopped smoking because i didn't want dental problems. i'm quite worried about losing my teeth. coughing up blood every morning was more than a good enough reason to quit.

Well if you can't have patches or gum, you will have to try to keep busy doing lots of things to take your mind of smoking. Don't go out where people smoke actually staying at home most of the time will help, go for walks instead of going out with friends that smoke, drink water whenever you get an urge to smoke or snack on veggies but most of all think of the baby and what harm you are doing it is not worth the risk as I'm sure you will have bigger problems if you continue to smoke!
