heartburn and quitting smoking

The crazy part about all this is that I never considered all these symptoms to be part of quitting smoking. I thought the stomach flu was somehow lingering and spreading around my body in other ways and kept blaming all the symptoms I was having on the stomach virus and started getting the bad anxiety because I kept thinking it was still the stomach virus but knowing that stomach viruses don't last that long but thinking I must have caught a new strain with changing symptoms lol.

So I've had acid reflux since I was about 8. I've had ulcers in my stomach and esophagus since I was 15. I've gone on bland diets for months at a time and took prilosex and zantac, nothing helped. Then I started smoking Marijuana and it's like I don't even have stomach issues. I'd get the occasional heartburn after certain foods but not horrible. I've been smoking for two years.

Even with prevacid, i still get heartburn some. I am a smoker and smoke about a pack a day. Can someone ease my mind a little about the stool thing? Or tell me some info?

re still smoking and are having trouble quitting, ask your caregiver for a referral to a smoking-cessation program.)An over-the-counter antacid that contains magnesium or calcium may ease discomfort, but check with your prenatal caregiver before taking one, because some brands contain aluminum oraspirin or are high in sodium.If these measures don't help, talk to your caregiver about prescriptions.

So i'm 12 weeks and after smoking roughly 10-15 cigarettes a day before I got pregnant, i'm down to one or two a day. I was told that quitting cold turky would be worse for my baby (especially dealing with depression and anxiety) so even though I've cut down and plan on quitting some time this week, could there be any significant damage done to my baby? I'm really worried and wish I just would have quit when I first found out..

Good for you for quitting. When you quit, i've heard the lungs go through an adjustment phase, more phelgm might be produced as the lungs heal. Even though you have a nicotine replacement, your body is detoxing from all the other chemicals in a cigarette, this slows you down. I wouldn't sweat 2 minutes, your body will bounce back soon.

m miserable and I think its all smoking related. The doctor thinks theres no relation between quitting smoking and constipation. I think he needs to go back to med school.

I'm 31 weeks and I just stopped smoking at 29weeks. Will my baby be ok? I need more info on smoking while pregnant.

i am trying my hardest i work in a call center doing tech support and that is a job that really tests my strength when it somes to quitting smoking, i have a craving now which is why i am writing hopefully to pass it

I am a shamed of myself. I've started smoking again, I just couldn't stand the mood it was putting me in and my family. I was really terrible with them. One min am happy and the next am ready to snap their heads off. They're still young so i couldn't explain to them what am going through. I will make an app with doc and get help. I can't do it cold turkey it's unfair on my kids and my partner.

I only smoke a max of 5 a day and today i had one this morning and nothing since. Its been over 12 hrs and the cravings have just become unbareable i am getting snappy with everyone and extremy emotional. And tips on helping with these cravings besides food.....

I've had different advice from different doctors. I had a high risk specialist at one point tell me cutting down was fine and to stop when I was ready. I was also going through a very messy breakup with my girls father so he said the stress of quitting plus that was more dangerous. But my OB/GYN said I can quit whenever and it wouldn't harm the baby. Eventually I listened to my body and natural instincts instead of other people and i quit cold turkey at around 15 weeks.

i just read how mother is in rehab because shes a heroin addict she found out at two months and decided rehab amd is trying to get better and u cant quit smoking!! u mam are ****** selfish.

) i feel so much better not smoking I got lucky that I didn't freak out and was able to quit literally that morning I found out and haven't looked back...never thought that would happen lol happy new year and again good luck:) you can do it!

I am trying to quit smoking now that I'm pregnant and was wondering if anyone has tried the patch or vaping as an alternative? I want to be sure that it's safe.

I'm sure everyone's different of course. I've smoked for 9 years now. And my doctor told me defiantly don't quit cold turkey. It can cause a miscarriage. As the previous person said. I cut back a lot but have continued smoking this whole pregnancy. I'm 37 weeks now. And my baby girl is healthy and a big baby! After smoking for 1 year, I quit as soon as I found out I was pregnant with my first at 6 weeks. She was born healthy at 39 weeks 6 days.

I feel healthier and can breath better. By quitting my baby has a better start and it will have more oxygen while in the womb. My husband quit this time too. I will be your support buddy. It took 1 week. I would smoke a Quater of a cigarette and come back in I finally got down to 1 a day and said the heck with it. And just didn't smoke the first 3 days I craved the most and would tell myself it's not my body anymore it's my little one I have to think of.

I was a big smokerrrrr before I got pregnant I slowed down a lot when I found out when I was about 3 months along I stopped buying them if I wanted one I would just take a drag off my husbands then I would be ok I also lived on carrots and celery I would back a Baggie before I got in the car to go anywhere and would munch on that because my biggest issue was smoking while I drive and now I'm 35 weeks and don't have the urge or want at all they actually disgust me!

I got pregnant in aug .. and quit smoking in January. .. I had no urges to smoke but for some reason now I dream about smoking .. almost every night. Idk ita weird ans a hard habbit to kick. But you can do it. !

So i found out i am pregant yesterday and today have quit smoking. Didnt no it would be this hard. Is anyone else going through the same or any advice to make it slighly easier?

I am six weeks and I am having the hardest time trying to quit smoking. Any tips?

I have a friend who recently found out she is pregnant. She is a heavy smoker. And is finding it impossible to quit. I was a smoker before i got pregnant, but didn't have a hard time quitting so i really don't know how to help her. Can anyone share some tips on how you quit smoking? And maybe some stories of babies who had a smoking mother, she seems to think it won't hurt the baby because so many people claim to have smoked the entire time and had healthy babies.

I decided to give it till the end of that pack and i was done. I was told if i felt like i needed it go ahead and take a few drags but i never needed to. That was back in April, I'm now due in 3 weeks and i still haven't touched one. When i was pregnant with my first baby i saw a poster that said "they can't say no" with a bunch of babies and alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. That poster made me cry do i had to quit almost the second i found out i was expecting. Good luck!

It will soon pass. Try not to worry and keep busy. Congratulations on quitting smoking.

I need help I'm 8 wks and am finding it more difficult to quit smoking than I thought it'd be. I smoked with my first pregnancy cause I was younger and dumber. But daughter was healthy weight, 3 days late and perfect. Any advice on how to quit would b appreciated but no judgement please..

Yeah weed gives me the "smokies" the way it gives people the munchies. I don't know if it actually makes me crave a cigarette because of the weed smoke creating an "itch" in my lungs, or if when I'm high I just get the screw-it sort of attitude and lose my willpower. Also when I quit smoking I got really anxious and that didn't mix well with weed as it made me really paranoid. I think drinking and smoking weed are pretty big triggers for a lot of people.

So I just found out this week that I am expecting. And I know I have to quit smoking and it is the hardest thing I am having to do. I usually smoke about a pack a day. I have not completely quit yet but I have extremely cut back and plan to completely quit. Is there anyone on here who has quit while pregnant that can give me advice on how to make it a little easier? I plan to talk to my Dr about it but I don't go until next month.

re pregnant but they also tell you not to quit cold turkey. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I quit smoking.. not everyone can do that, and seems like you are having a tough time.. so I would meet with that guy on Thursday and see what he suggests but you should def talk to you're Dr about it.. maybe they can give you some advice and maybe they can tell you if you can quit cold turkey at this point.
