I'm 5-6 weeks pregnant, unplanned. stopped smoking (2 days) had smoked 20 a day for 15 years. stopped taking cilift 40mg. (4 days). experiencing withdrawal from smokes and pills and experiencing bad anxiety, moodswings. will my baby be okay?

Better without : smoking for sure, withdrawal, is tougher on you than baby. Discussion of best plan of care for medications, as risk/benefits are best sorted out with your doctor.
