Hi - My husband are I are looking to TTC, but only after I stop smoking. I have tried the patch, acupuncture, etc but I cannot stop. Did anyone else have this problem, and if so, how did you quit. I have just signed up for a hypnosis class in 2 weeks and I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I know several who smoked & when they found out they were preggo, just stopped immediately. They say they couldn't even think of smoking, when thinking of a little one inside them!

Both of my cousins smoked ALOT before they TTC, and upon learning they were preggers, they both quit cold turkey. I believe they both are still smoke free, which is an added benefit! Good luck - I am sure it is not easy!

Years ago my best friend, and both her parents, had success with hypnotism. It was in Michigan, a long time ago, so unfortunately I can't recommend a specific hypnotist, but it did work for them.

Rob was a smoker, before I met him, but he successfully quit through hypnosis. Good luck to you ... you sound like you really want to quit!

Dee, I smoked until I found out I was pregnant and quit immediately. Even after I miscarried, I didn't go back to it and ended up preggo again and I'm proud to say, I still didn't go back and I don't miss it at all!!
You can do it!!! Once you realize you have a life inside of you, you'll be amazed how much you'll do to protect it!!!
