I think simply talking to your Dr. About this may be your best bet

Def discuss this with ur doctor. In the meantime, go with what u think will work best. I was a pk/day smoker for 10yrs when I got pregnant. I can't slow down to a quit, I'm an all or nothing kinda gal. I found out I was pregnant on a Saturday, probably smoked more than ever that day. Sunday I cut down to half a pk, and Monday I never touched another cig again. It was hard...very hard! There were A LOT of tears for the first trimester, but I stuck with it. For me, it didn't have any negative impacts on baby or myself. To each their own.
It won't be easy no matter what route u take, but at least ur wanting to take the route! U can do it! Best advice, be stubborn when it comes to cravings, cuz u will have some very strong ones. Ur gonna cry and get bitchy, between quitting and the hormones, it'll all seem impossible, but know that it will pass!
U got this, girl!!
Congrats, and good for u for wanting the best start for ur baby!! =))

Congrats on the baby news and congrats for taking a huge leap toward making yourself and your baby healthier. My sisters who both smoked were told by their dr. to ween off. one sister did and quit for good. The other didn't and here baby was a premie and was in the NICU for a month and it was all due to her smoking. I myself am a mom and couldn't imagine the pain she went through because of it. If you ween off just make sure you quit for good. You will be so glad you did!
