Pregnancy and smoking – is there a worse combination of words in the English language? If you visit hospitals, you will notice that many of pregnant woman are smokers. Why is this bad? Smoking during pregnancy causes low birth weight, miscarriage and even damage to the brain. But now you can quit easily and safely thanks to these innovative ideas.
Smoking is harmful to you as well! Smoking just like drinking a few beers or taking shots of whiskey will get you drunk. Abusing alcohol and smoking can present dangers especially during those first 9 months. For example, the mother may not be able to recognize when her baby needs her most due to being intoxicated or the baby may be so sick that it cannot feed properly or sleep at night resulting in serious emotional and intellectual issues.
Most of the chemicals or toxins you take into your body with each breath when smoking is passed on to your baby through their blood stream because they are fed by it. This means that all the dangerous toxins and chemicals you may be ingesting in cigarettes affect your baby directly which makes it so extremely harmful! The primary effects of this include premature birth and low birth weight, but trust us when we say that there are other extremely harmful side-effects caused by these toxins as well.
An important way to protect you and your baby is by quitting smoking as soon as possible. Women who are pregnant cannot stop smoking with medications or nicotine replacement therapies (like the patch) because they do not receive safe amounts of nicotine.
Pregnancy is the most marvellous time in the life of a woman and one of the most significant events for both partners. Strong will and good support can help a couple become even stronger. Help yourself quit smoking during childbirth with hypnosis as it is natural, safe and effective. Many techniques of hypnosis have improved over time from swinging pendants, entering a state of deep relaxation to using methods based on scientific knowledge.
Cigarette addiction is more mental than physical. Hypnotism works by breaking the mental addiction to smoking. Look at all the people who go back to smoking after years of being smoke-free. This was not due to the physical addiction to nicotine; in these cases, the psychological addiction was never addressed.
But hypnotherapy has a way of making smokers forget they really want to smoke. And if you use the right procedure per session, your chances of quitting smoking will be high. That’s because some new methods of hypnotherapy actually involve you listening to prerecorded messages that help improve your concentration – meaning that you’ll be able to ignore the mental desires associated with wanting a cigarette.
While pregnancy and smoking may seem contradictory, hypnotherapy offers a unique opportunity for pregnant women who want to quit smoking. Combining modern techniques with traditional methods, hypnotherapy can help keep a healthy bond intact to ensure the health of your baby. Hypnosis should be your first choice when it comes to safely breaking free from the smoking habit during pregnancy.
