Tina: The need to clear up the guidelines on NRT in pregnancy.
Tina – 28 weeks pregnant on:
The need to clear up the guidelines on NRT in pregnancy.
Tina said: “That’s another thing that I couldn’t find when I wanted to give up smoking. Every time you went on to the internet I typed in smoking in pregnancy or giving up smoking in pregnancy, for instance every site said you shouldn’t really use anything. When you go to the smoking clinics you can actually use what you want as long as you don’t use a 24 hour patch.”
Midwife Hull said: "Nicotine replacement Therapy needs prescribing which is why I would advice you to go to the smoke free team. It is also free through this service."

Tina: Being emotionally low when trying to stop smoking during pregnancy.

Being emotionally low when trying to stop smoking during pregnancy.
Tina said: “I didn’t like the idea of going in a group. I had a one-to-one and I found that a lot better.
It was nearly breaking my heart, cos I was like “oh God, I’m being deprived of my cigarettes!”
Now I didn’t even think I was struggling just because of my hormones and everything I was feeling deprived anyway. I felt like I needed somebody just for me to talk to, or cry to, do you know what I mean? Just to sit and cry, but I couldn’t cry in the room because there was so many people and I would have felt a bit silly sort of sat there crying just because I’m giving up smoking.”
Midwife Hull said: "Being emotional is very normal in pregnancy lots of changes are happening to your body.
Usually the smoke free team see you one to one and they understand how you will be feeling, so having a cry on someone’s shoulder is totally normal!
Having nicotine replacement therapy can help with those strong withdrawal feelings."

Kelly: Being unsure whether NRT is safe during pregnancy.
Kelly – 21 weeks pregnant on:
Being unsure whether NRT is safe during pregnancy.
Kelly said: “I quit completely on my own. I didn’t use nicotine patches or anything cos I was scared the nicotine would hurt the developing brain and things like that. There wasn’t enough information for me to say having the nicotine patches is not gonna hurt your baby so I didn’t use them.
I think that’s where most people fail because I still wanted cigarettes. I craved them every day especially at first, it was really difficult.
I think that if there was more information about patches, gum, and things like that then it would be really good.”
Midwife Hull said: "Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) i.e. gum, patches or inhalers can double your chances of quitting.
They need to be prescribed by your stop smoking specialist."
