energy drinks?

Hello. I dont know if I'm pregnant or not yet, I took a pregnancy test when I was 8 days late around 7pm & it was negative.
However, I have so many symptoms. Backache, headache, increased urination, sleeplessness, weird dreams, fatique, nausea etc. I'm 12 days late now, still no sign of monthly.
I feel guilty continuing to smoke cigarettes & drink my energy drinks. I cut back by a lot but I haven't stopped completely.
If it turns out I am pregnant, I'd be about 6 weeks. Could these things hurt the baby?

Side note: yes I know, smoking is bad, but its hard to quit, & I've cut back by a ton. So please dont reprimand me.

Cutting back slowly shouldn't cause a miscarriage...cold turkey maybe BC it would be a huge shock yo your system . continue to smoke a lot can also cause miscarriage. I'm not doctor,so if you're still thinking you may be pregnant call your doc and have a blood test and express your concerns to a professional. Hope everything turns out OK!

I'm not looking for reassurance that they're okay, by any means. I just didn't know if being that early if me cutting back slowly leading up to quitting could make me miscarriage.

Yes.
Also, I'm not stressed or anything. Everything in my life is pretty good. & if I am pregnant, its planned, so I'm not stresses.

Obviously you're aware both things aren't the best,other wise you wouldn't be asking looking for some kind of assurance that its ok. I am not a smoker, never have been, so that being said idk what quitting feels like...I will say this though...it would be less of a shock to slowly quit... Meaning continue to cu back every day until you're bit smoking at all. Energy  drinks..there are better things for you... Those aren't even good for you when you're not pregnant. Obviously there are worse things but I'd oesonally trade those out for water,herbal tea, or even soda even though the high amounts of caffine in soda isn't good for baby either . good luck!
