I was using nicotine gum to quit smoking before i found out im pregnant. Now im really worried if its harmful for the baby. Planning to ask my gynac this week but wanted to know if anyone faced this.
I cant really advise on this one, its not a normal food or remedy thing. Honestly the best person is your gynac, they will tell you whats safe for quitting. Please do ask them directly.
Please dont start this on your own. Nicotine in any form, gum or cigarette, is something only your doctor should decide about during pregnancy. Talk to your gynac honestly, they wont judge, they will help you the safest way.
Nicotine is nicotine yaar, gum is not automatically safe. If you are trying to quit smoking that is a brilliant step, but the method should come from your doctor. They can guide you properly during pregnancy.
First, well done for thinking about quitting, thats a big caring step for your baby. But dont decide the gum yourself na, sit with your doctor and ask. They will support you, you are not alone in this.
