I have the same problem. My nurse practitioner toldme there is nothing they can give you not patches nothing. So she told me to just cut back and gradually quit.

Just remember that quiting cold turkey is just as hard on the baby as it is on you. Slowly seen yourself off and be sure to increase your vitamin C because your body gets depleted and it is so important for the cellular regeneration that happens quickly in your body. It can be done you just have to feel the importance of it in you. Do some meditation and try to stay out of drama while quiting. I wish you the best of luck and know that you can do it. I did it.

Yeah talk to your doctors ecigs are not safer for pregnant women as they still contain nicotine. If you try ones that dont have any nicotine maybe that'll help
