Nicorette Gum vs. Smoking During Pregnancy: A Doctor's Perspective


Question
i know that smoking or any chemicals is bad for pregnancy but i don't think i can quit cold turkey so would using the nicorette gum be  worse bad or what else should i do?

Answer
You are right none of it is good.  So I am not sure which one I would put my money on for being better.
You should talk to your OBGYN for your needs on this one as they know you best.
Some would depend on how much you smoke etc.
It is good your notice that you need to do something.  Remember smoking around your baby increases the risk of sids alot!
My husband's neice just lost her six week old boy to sids last week.  She and her husband are smokers.  
I can not tell you that is what did it, no one could, but something to think about.
Good luck and Congrats.
