Hi guys only found out pregnant few days ago and have been prescribed patches to apply daily in order to stop myself smoking i would love to just give them up cold turkey but what with being so stressed last few days I feel I can't , I'm going to start using but obviously ween myself off them in next few weeks has any one heard any bad reviews about using these patches so early into pregnancy ?
Thanks in advance :)

Since being pregnant the smell and even thought of them makes my tummy turn. Hopefully this happens for you too. Makes it easier to give up.

Sending good thoughts your way. I quit smoking after 20 years and I found the most helpful thing was to change your routine. Doing things as differently as possible changes your association with craving and helps distract you. It's hard, but once you get through the first few days, every day gets easier and easier.

Patches are safer than smoking. Still nicotine, but no carbon monoxide which is what makes smoking bad for you.

If you haven't talked to your Dr about useing them I highly recommend you do first.if they said its fine then it should be fine. You would be surprised how many thing are unsafe. Also they done usually recommend going cold turkey when your pregnant they recommend a weaning yourself of like you are.
