losing weight after quitting cigarettes

I was a big smoker also when I found out I was pregnant I stopped at 10 weeks after I stopped a gained alotta weight tho smh I'm not sure what u can do because I went cold turkey but there are support groups u can call and they will help u

Well, hormones are wacky so never say never but it is more likely a rapid weight gain. 20 pounds in 90 days is a lot very quickly. I would up the exercise and try to soothe yourself some way orally so you don't eat (gum, chew on straws, etc.). Congrats on being smoke free! AWESOME!!! That's not easy to do so good for you!

i've answered a similar question before, and everyone ganged up on me, so i'll say that you should quit completely.. i've smoked about 1 to 10 ciggarettes a day with my baby, and he turned out perfectly healthy and normal weight... i read from a book that there's only 40% chance of something being wrong with a baby if the mother smokes like 2 packs a day..so in my opinion, smoking half a pack has a little % of something being wrong...

They say that quitting cigarettes is harder than quiting dope. Not sure about that one. I started smoking again late in 2/09 after quitting in 8/08.Smoked for 24 yrs. Stress. triggers etc lead me back to smoking. Sometimes, I could take or leave them. Depends on what is going on. Tried everything out there 2 quit...just have 2 b ready and want it. My motto... one addiction @ a time. Never let outside triggers give u an excuse to start to light up again. It is a nasty habit.....

I smoke cigarettes and feel that it messes with my weight but I've noticed other can smoke and maintain theirs...how can I gain a massive amount of weight in a short period of time without quitting??

my question is that maybe theres a possibility that if i put the weed down while i try to quit cigarettes, it may possibly make it easier to stop the cigarettes? are there any known cases of weed causing a stronger nicotine craving in the mind?

I quit smoking by switching to electronic cigarettes. They only have nicotine in them - no toxins and they emit water vapor when you exhale. They are less expensive than regular cigarettes too. It takes a little time to get used to it, but I can't stand regular cigarettes now.

I have always heard that folks usually gain weight after quitting. Is it because we tend to replace cigarettes with food? Does anyone know why. I am an active person; a requirement being in the military, and want to maintain if not lose more weight. Any advice?

Quitting smoking is one of the best things that you can do for your health and your baby’s health during development in the womb and after it is born. By quitting smoking, you will be protecting your infant from the dangers of secondhand smoke and reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Myth #6: Smoking fewer cigarettes during pregnancy is good enough. Fact: There is no safe level of smoking.

However, if you can deal with the side effects, I would give them a go, as I stopped for about 3 months and while you are still allowed to smoke for a week when you first start the tablets, you get to a point where having a smoke makes you feel very sick, and after you stop, I didn't even think about cigarettes at all!!!!! And I have been smoking for about 20 years, about 20 a day. I did put on weight, even though I was going to the gym, but that is one downfall to stopping smoking anyway..

I smoke cigarettes but recently found out I was pregnant. I have seen many smoking those vapor cigs and you can buy them with no nicotine in it. I was wnting your opinions if that would be dangerous or not. Or if you know people that smoke these while pregnant.

No Rude Comments Please ! I'm having a hard time quitting and I was wondering if theirs other moms that feel the same ?

t been able to quit, not with any pregnancy. Have cut down to one sometimes 2 real cigarettes a day and and e-cigarette here and there throughout the day. Both my primary and ob agree that since I can't quit quit, and I was a pack or more depending on the day smoker that it's ok to do what I'm doing. All of my baby's were born full term, healthy, and healthy weight. Good luck, I hear cold turkeys the way to go...but causes me way to much stress when I have tried cold turkey...

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure those are just for quitting cigarettes. And you really shouldn't rely on pills like that for weight loss. Try SlimQuick pills instead, they're in a little white bottle. They're much safer for your health.

my anxiety was a little better after awhile, meaning after the withdrawal. i would say to cut down and see how you feel. in my opinion, i don't think quiting smoking will (cure) your anxiety and panic attacks. alot of people with anxiety disorders don't smoke. take care.

Smoking can really effect your baby, lots of woman in my family smoked while pg and all had something wrong from really low birth weight , temp dropping , and lung problems. Please look up info online maybe it will scare you to quit..

HEY im 8weeks pregnant and i smoke cigarettes and I need help quiting any suggestions

I have however, just recently went down to a level 5 nicotine from my original level of 18. Have any of you mommies used e-cigarettes throughout any of your previous pregnancies or are using one currently? I feel SOOO guilty that I haven't quit completely but I feel like I have already made great progress by quitting smoking in the guest place and now going down to only a level 5 of nicotine! Thoughts, opinions?

Cigarettes can cause misscairage low birth weight and and premature labour. Dont panic though just work really hard on quitting. Weed has no proven effect on baby and is prescibed to women with really bad morning in alot of places. So if you want to truely know my opinion...

I know:) oh I do plan on quitting i def am I quit for my first this is my second. (Wish i never started smoking again!) I'm high risk and I had to decrease and then quit the first time he wanted me to do it again in about a months time and I shall be done when I see him next in march but I was just wondering if it were better to do it with an e-steam I heard good things but then I heard bad things..

That being said, here is my problem On many occasions after I smoke several cigarettes, mentally I start feeling anxiety and the thoughts in my head become faster and louder.. ( I do not have a mental illness) This only happens after smoking..I know the easy fix is quit but the addiction currently has a hold of me...I seriosly feel like I am losing my mind in those moments..completely and am wondering what is happening...it doesnt usually happen after one cigarette but after a couple...

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..

Hi I am 6 months pregnant and I can't quit cigarettes I have cut down a lot but I'm scared something will happen to my baby . What do u think I should do ? Do u think it will harm my baby ? And what.do u suggest ?

Aww that ***** your having trouble quitting. People say cigarettes are one of the hardest things to quit. just think of all the chemicals in smokes and the carbon monoxide that your breathing in Everytime you do have a smoke.. Maybe that will help you quit. Good luck.
