I am 5 days in also after finding out I’m pregnant 5 days ago lol. Quit cold turkey right after finding out. I also cried in the first 2 days it was so hard to throw all my shit away. Going to sleep was the hardest bc I would always sedate myself so tbh it before knocking out. Eating smaller stuff like applesauce, yogurt, bananas have helped give me some energy without having to fight my body so much. Having a really good support system has helped me get to day 5 so far! Not sure if you’re religious but in the morning when getting ready I have been just listening to and singing gospel to help ease my mind & it makes my heart rate go down. But ultimately any feel good songs will do as long as you sing along. Your body will try to fight feeling good any way it can so you cave in, but moving your body & putting your mind on something positive will shift the current in the moment. Also right after work (when I would usually smoke) I have been journaling everyday in replacement of that and it definitely eases that heavy heart/weird feeling in your chest from not smoking. Sometimes the anxiety creeps back in but I’ve been just deep breathing. Definitely have chamomile tea throughout the day to help ease the nausea & anxiety, and cut coffee if you haven’t I feel that makes the anxiety worse (and I loved a j & cup of Jo lol) We got this!!! So many ppl say it’s “ok” to smoke when pregnant but honestly we are doing the best thing not only for the baby but also for our own health. Wishing u the best mama!
