How to stop myself from crying easily?

this is my first pregnancy, an unplanned one. I get mood swings every now and then but this time round, it is so bad that I cry so easily for the past 2 - 3 days. basically I started feeling that it is so unfair that my lifestyle had to be changed so much. this includes stopping on smoking, drinking, eating raw food, & that big cut on drinking coffee tea coke, bbt and cold stuff. all these while my partner can just go on with his usual lifestyle. he tried, to not smoke with me. but everytime we go out with friends, it will be his cheat day. Well, we go out often. now I just want to isolate myself at home instead of watching everyone do everything that I wanted. how do I accept all these and stop crying? I'm really worried that my mood affects my baby.

I feel you. We didn't plan to have the baby either. While I do not smoke, I cannot get through the day without coffee! I also enjoy drinking alcohol and cold drinks but now I can't. It's a torture. Meanwhile my husband continues with his coffee and beer 😢 it is tough but I will do what I can. And I stay home as much as possible so I don't get to smell the coffee at cafes or walk pass people drinking bbt. Sometimes when I get upset I ask my husband to buy me mcdonalds nugget. Lol. It's not healthy but it's not forbidden either so I will take what I can. I told myself its only gonna be 7 more months and we will have a baby. BTW being emotional is also part of the symptoms due to the hormonal change so it's not entirely your fault. Don't get too stress and upset. We are strong and we can overcome this.
