I think the "nicotine patches" are because she quit smoking because of the baby -- and now all she's got are the nicotine patches. She's addicted to them because they remind her of being pregnant.
Similarly, I have a very straightforward interpretation of "are you sure where my spark is?" The "spark" is the baby, the mysterious and miraculous spark of life. And there's nothing like the sensation of lying there while someone tries to find it (with an ultrasound)...
Of course, I recently miscarried, so all I can hear in this song is pregnancy.
