I’m pregnant and really having a hard time with nicotine withdrawals. I’m so emotional and feel like I’m losing my mind. Does anyone have advice for getting through this?

I kept an unopened pack of my brand when I quit with my first. I wasn’t going to smoke but having them there made me feel better. I threw it away eventually.

You just ride it out. After about 5 days you’ll be over it.

Talk to your Dr. My daughter’s friend had to be weaned off so as to not hurt her baby. She smoked like a train. 1 or 2 pks a day.
But , a Dr can help you. It’s a drug and needs to be treated as such. God bless.

Find something to keep your mouth and hands busy like seeds or gum

You really should cut back slowly while pregnant. Your baby is going through withdrawal too

Please get help from the doctor. Why didn’t this get discussed with you? Every doctor ask if you smoke. This convo should have come out that you quit. Don’t ever go back. Quit for good.

One day at a time. Find things to keep you busy and before you know it you won’t even be thinking about it.

I smoked my whole pregnancy. But before I was pregnant I was doing like 1-2 packs a day. By then end of it I was only have 1 a day in increments. I know I’m horrible and weak. But my baby is/was perfectly healthy.
