There is no other way
If you cherish the life of you child, you HAVE to stop and stop now! I am sure you want a healthy child with all limbs attached and one head. Any drugs and ciggerettes can effect an unborn child. Think of your child now instead of selfishly thinking of yourself.

Sorry for the rant. I believe in healthy pregancies.

Well, you've just got to manage the cravings somehow. Once they're over, it's a mental battle. What happens right before you take a cigarette?

Yeah, you really need to stop. It's not healthy for your unborn baby! Go and talk to a doctor about it and see what they suggest if you can't do it alone. We have a new drug in Australia that people can take which stops you craving ciggarettes but i am unsure if you can take it while pregnant. Also discuss taking nicorette with your doctor. see if it's safe while pregnant as nicorette is a lot healthier than ciggarettes.

I am so sorry for you baby just think about him every cigarette you smoke he swallow it with you, something you can do its do yoga and relax if you really want to give your child a good live please listen to your conscience and try to eat something instead of having a cigarette like a cookie or something sweet.
