Drop down down to 0 nicotine

You know how you feel going through nicotine withdrawal? You want to put your newborn through that? It’s recommended you get down to 0%nicotine as fast as possible.
If you can’t give it up for 9 months so your child can grow and be healthy then you shouldn’t be having a child.

It’s not that hard to stop. I smoked for 15 years and decided to stop and I just stopped… It’s for your babys health and you’ll feel much better once you stop
Smoking won’t harm your child. My mom smoked with all 3 of us and we are fine

It doesn’t harm baby quitting cold Turkey. I’m still struggling with stopping some days but I went from 50 nic to very rarely hitting my husbands 6…
So many unhelpful answers, if you’re only 5-6 weeks, right now the baby is fine. They have not started using mommy for nutrients just yet, but will be very soon. Nicotine is nicotine regardless of what form, cigarettes vape etc. if you can, work your way down to 0% but do it at a slower rate than “just quitting” your OB can maybe give you more insight on how to cope with nicotine withdrawals etc. better for you to power through it now, rather than watching your newborn scream and cry after not getting any nicotine once they’re born.

I stopped cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant. Picked it back up after I had my son - I also am not breast feeding. Definitely advice quitting.
Quitting cold turkey can be dangerous for you and baby as with any addiction withdraws cause stress. Talk to your OB about what they recommend most doctors will say not to quit cold turkey.

Listen to your doctor! NOT the women on here. Some of them are so miserable they have nothing better to do than to give Facebook advice in the nastiest way possible. Consult your doctor. Not everyone is educated in the effects that it can have on a fetus. I don’t understand why one asking for help gets answered so nasty??

I dropped to 0 nic for a few months after I found out I was pregnant with my son. Then probably around 16 to 20 weeks I stopped completely till he was born. Then about a month after I started vaping again but only 3 nic. He’s going to be 5 this November and living a happy kid life.
When I was pregnant with my 3 year old I got told I can use an ecig as long as the eliquid was made in the UK. So I am guessing it will be the same for every country
I smoked for 7 years (2nd time) and quit smoking as soon as I found out I was pregnant. No issues quitting.

Nicotine isn’t recommended
Talk to your doctor about getting help to quit.
Best to talk to your ob, myself I smoked through my pregnancy both times, kids were healthy and fine. What the doctor did tell me is it can cause a lower birth weight. Not saying I didn’t want to quit, but it was hard. Just do the best you can!

Some doctors now are actually telling pregnant women to not stop completely but cut back. One of my coworkers actually was told this and it’s because completely quitting cold turkey shocks not only your system but also the babies. Because she had already smoked and vaped, the dr recommended that she continue after finding out she was pregnant but to cut down the nic level slowly so as to not shock either of their systems or send either into withdrawal. But DEFINITELY consult your doctor!

The fact that you are allowing people that are not medical professionals to give medical advice that affects the future of an unborn child is sickening. Especially when people are literally commenting that ‘smoking while pregnant is fine because such-and-such person that they know did it and the baby turned out fine’.

I am currently 9 weeks myself, have vaped regularly since having my son 11/2017 with cigarettes during severely stressful moments here and there. I currently am not smoking nor vaping. I was vamping regularly when I found out and for a few weeks after until about 2 weeks ago I started getting sick just from the smell of my vape when my fiancé hits it within 20 feet of me. If it weren’t for that I’d still be using it but cutting back slowly. Quitting cold turkey can cause more harm than good from what I’ve been told by my dr both pregnancies. It’s best to slowly cut back. But it is absolutely best to talk to your dr.
When I found out I was pregnant, and I had smoked for 13 years, I stopped. I didn’t find it hard Because I had a reason to stop. Not saying everyone will find it easy. I did, however, start again as soon as he didn’t take to Brest feeding. Everyone is different xx

I personally say no to vaping all together after reading about the bubbles it can create in your lungs but each to their own
I vaped at the beginning of my last pregnancy but luckily my morning sickness made me HATE it and I quit It wasn’t too hard on me and I was vaping 12%. Maybe taper yourself off, lower it to 3% and then go to 0%

Best to stop ,think about your baby health ,which also means less suffering for baby & you.
If iussus than at least u wouldn’t regret .
Don’t take risk in this situation.
When I found out I was pregnant I was also vaping and smoking the ocasional cigarette. When I found out I stopped cold turkey. Mints helped. It’ll take like a week of hard cravings and then it’ll get easier. Just don’t do it. You’re baby will thank you.

It has nicotine so yes, it can cause some of the same issues tobacco can.
If it is going to be more stressful on you and your baby to quit, dont. Move down to a 0%nicotine juice and carry on.
I didnt quit until later in my pregnancy for stress reasons, then let em go at about 6m and started vaping 0% nicotine juice.

Of course it’s harmful! It effects the development of your baby. Lower birthweight, their lung and brain development and function, etc. Is vaping really that important to you?

Very little harm can be done to baby before 8 weeks. At least that is what my doc told me. I had similar concerns. I have heard some docs saying to ween yourself off of the nicotine but I also have heard people quiting cold turkey. Babies were fine for both! Just take the right precautions now that you know and always talk to your doctor!

I’m going to be honest and don’t want any of you coming for me.
I was not a smoker with my first 2 pregnancies. 12 years later I became pregnant with my now youngest that is 6 mts old. I was smoking when I found out. Quit for a few weeks and picked it back up around my 20th week. I felt bad with every cigarette but I had bi weekly ultrasounds due to a previous high risk pregnancy so for extra precautions they had me monitored closely. Baby always measured 2 weeks ahead and had a healthy strong heartbeat. She was delivered at almost 42 weeks and was a little heifer weighing over 9 lbs. Considering how early you are I would not be concerned. Talk to your OB and see if they can get you a script for nicorette or wean yourself back a little at a time. I know a lot of women that once pregnant the smell and taste of cigarettes absolutely made them sick so they kicked it fast and easy. Good luck!

I started vaping 5% when I started and gradually lowered it, I went to 3.5% then 1.2 and now I vape .06%. But I didn’t want to quit or need to. You could wean yourself down to .03 and then 0 and after you’ve eliminated the nicotine it wouldn’t be as hard to quit.
It even says not to use while pregnant or breast feeding 🤷🏻

I smoked with both my kids, my OB recommended to slowly stop myself or to cut back because just up & quitting can stress you out & if you stress out the baby stresses out. I chose the option to cut back with both my babies. Both of them were healthy & had no issues. I now have a wild almost 3 year old and a wild one year old! Do what you feel is best, if quitting is to stressful just cut back.

I smoked cigarettes my whole 5th pregnancy sparingly. A few hits a day. Shes healthy and happy I don’t recommend that you continue to vape. My experience was completely my own and cigarettes were a horrible craving I had with that baby. With all my other kiddos the smell of smoke sent me into a gagging fit!
I smoked when I was pregnant until morning/evening sickness hit me hard and I couldn’t even stand the smell of it. Got to 20 weeks and was smoking again I had cut down alot but was still smoking. I was induced because they thought she was going to be big but she was super healthy and a lovely normal weight and she is stupidly intelligent and always keeping me on my toes. Obviously I don’t think smoking is good full stop but I still smoke now and it’s down the the individual

switchto a non nicotine vape juice for sure and try not to vape as much as possible
The first thing I’m gonna say is talk to your on and your doctor and ask them to help. The second things is, I have had a long line of miscarriages and then giving birth when I was fifteen and she died 3 months later… I was a heavy smoker, I mean heavy smoker from the ages of 13 up until last year when I got pregnant again in July… during previous times I was pregant I stopped, but I still miscarried, the most recent before my son who was born two weeks ago, I was raped into 2019 and I was pregnant… I was a heavy weed smoker and cigarettes smoker plus a huge drinker but I wouldn’t say addicted because I could quit anytime without any urges or weak moments , when I was pregnant from raped, I smoked and I drank literally every day for drinking and smoking maybe twice a week or three times a week , I miscarried that baby November 24th 2019 at 8-9 week pregnant . And I cried for maybe ten minutes and then I was okay… I was soo used to the idea that maybe t body isn’t meant to carry children that I couldn’t cry anymore… I have two previous miscarriages and my daughter died at 3 months when I was 15, I didn’t smoke either of those pregnancies, I quit. And didn’t smoke until I wasn’t pregnant anymore. I smoked weed twice with my son who I just gave birth too and I drunk wine three times during the whole pregnancy, Just 3 times drinking and 2 times for smoking. My son was born at 6lbs and 10 oz at 39 weeks and 3 days. I would highly recommend not smoking and just being healthy… that baby is using you to stay alive and get nutrients. Don’t put alcohol and smoking into your body, your baby should be more than enough to stop this madness completely

I had vaped during my pregnancy, I was at 3mg of nicotine. My baby is 2 years and is perfectly fine. She was a healthy 7 pound 6.9 ounces. I was in the middle of quitting cigarettes and a month before I found out I was pregnant I started vaping. There isn’t a lot of studies on vaping while pregnant either but it is classified in the same category as smoking. Talk to your doctor for help and do what is right and best for you and the baby

I was smoking a pack a day when i found out i was 6 weeks. My midwife recommended i ween myself off as my body could go into shock if i just stopped cold turkey. By 7 months pregnant i was only smoking 1 cigarette every 2-3weeks. Talk to your doctor to see what they recommend

Got to 3% and then just vape with the 0 nic. Just flavor.
I’m 41 and my mom smoked her entire pregnancy with me so I’m sure your baby will be fine for the times you were vaping, but I urge you to try stop while you are pregnant. I’ve never vaped or smoked but maybe trying to chew gum when you get the urge to vape
Definitely talk to your OB they can help. Also obviously vaping is bad for your baby. I mean it’s bad for you. Babies have to develop lungs and organs and vaping/smoking/drinking/drugs can all hinder growth and development. I’m sorry at 2 you may not know anything is wrong. My nephew was about 10 when we noticed his development was different than other kids.
It’s less harmful that cigarettes.

Smoking & in hailing smoke (even vapor with glycerine) into your lungs is bad for you. Nicotine is bad for unborn babies. Regardless on how you get it.
If its bad for you, its bad for your baby.
Consult your Doctor before changing your vaping or smoking habit. It might be healthier to limit vs stop. Sounds crazy but its true. They maybe rather you decrease then cold turkey it.

I’m 35 weeks and my doctor said it was fine… Of course I don’t vape a high level of nicotine… He’s already 5lbs with 5 weeks left to go…
Honestly I smoked cigarettes before I found out I was pregnant and literally quit a couple days after finding out because all I could think about was my child and how it was hurting her. 
Think about your child and seek help from your doctor. Its really not that hard once you start thinking about the safety of your child 247.

Wean now that you know. The good thing about vape is that you can control the dose of nicotine and that 0% is an option. Smoking while pregnant has some serious consequences that you need to research tho.

I’ve had 3 children and I’ve smoked cigarettes for 16 years. I’ve never been able to quit. My ob always knew and just asked that I did my best to cut back as much as possible. All of my kids are healthy and have no issues. I’m not sure about vaping, there isn’t much research. If you are able to quit that would be best. Slowly cut back on the amount of nicotine and then cut back on the vaping all together to eventually quit if you can. Always talk to your doctor and be honest they need to know what’s going on to give you the best care.

I weaned down to 0 mg nicotine by mixing less and less of the juice I was used to with a nice free juice. I quit completely within a couple weeks of finding out I was expecting. Nausea definetly helped speed up the process.
Should be fine if you stop now but if you continue Yes it will harm your baby … that in its self should be motivating enough to stop .

My midwife said in theory it’s better to stop but if its going to cause you alot a stress just cut down as stress isn’t good for the baby its better then smoking cigarettes but was still advised to stop I mangaged to stop through my pregnancy
I woulnt smoke can cause low birth weight.not good for eithetlr of youm
I was smoking 48mg when I found out I was pregnant as soon as I found out at 6 weeks I stopped the first week was rough but just keep anything to do with vaping out of site and keep ur hands busy as often as possible it gets easier
I had to stop twice with both pregnancies and both times it was only the first couple days to a week that are hard
Gum and hard candy can help some people quit. If you can take 3 days off to just sleep, wake up long enough to eat, use the bathroom, drink water, and go back to sleep. The first 72 hours are the hardest with physical withdrawals, so if you can sleep through that part, it should be easier after that.
U can go down over a few weeks to 0 nic and that way u can trick your brain and if u decide to stop after you get down to 0, 5% isn’t bad. Don’t stop cold turkey , good luck 
All I can say is, there is alooooot of scientific research on the subject. Do your own studying.
Any nicotine can harm your baby. Time to quit. And stay quit.

I vaped cannabis until I found out I was pregnant (about 5 weeks). I went from 3 grams a day to nothing. Need to keep your hands busy but it’s worth it for baby’s health. The hard part for me was I used cannabis for pain and ptsd. Dealing with that was harder than quitting.
