I agree that you should talk with your doctor.  Your doctor probably has resources available - local ones, even - that could help you.  We could tell you all the troubling things about smoking while pregnant, but it sounds like you know them already and are really in need of support and encouragement.  How far along are you?

Hi, like rush i am a new non smoker of 18 days now and it has been fairly easy too!

You need to speak with your obgyn asap!!!  Most of my friends that were smokers and pregnant were instructed to gradually cut back on smoking until you quit....it will be to stressfull on the baby if you quit cold turkey like me!  That kind of stress could cause miscarrage.

Please talk to your doctor asap!!!!

hey,
Im on my 7th day and I stopped smoking CT...it so far has been worth it and relatively easy for me, to be honest.  I am 38 and smoked since my teens but never more than a pack a day...

I tell myself, when i crave, that smoking just isn't an option.  I am breathing better, already have more energy (even though sleeping a little less) and my body just feels all around better (many aches and pains seem to have left me).

Here's what I have been doing...first three days I drank much cranberry and pomegranate juice...also lots of water and I have been going to the gym and getting in an hour of cardio and a sauna almost every day (drink about four pints of water at the gym, sweat it all back out) I am convinced that the gym and sauna have done two things for me...kept me busy in off hours where i'd be smoking and helped me speed up the WD process by pushing toxins (nicotine too) out of my body...

Good luck,
