I was completely stressed. Me and my husband were having ALOOOOOOT of problems. My baby came out 7 pounds 11 ounces. He was happy at first but due to teething so young he is difficult now. But the Drs. strongly agreed that it had nothing to do with the stress.
yes and yes, but still it’s not ideal and can indeed cause problems, maybe i was the exception. get that person some help.
well my sister has recently had a baby.. and me and her were going through hell.. (rough household)..crying every day.. and the only way she would stop crying and throwing stuff is when i said all this is hurting izaiah..her stress test was through the roof.. and the doctor told her to take it eaisy.. he was born and it had to be through a c-section.. but he came out perfectly healthy…
I had a very stressful pregnancy, not with the baby everything was fine there it was my environment I was in. My now ex would come home high on god knows what at 3 4 am start listening to music really loud, start swearing, ( we lived in a bach pad) throw stuff around just get really angry and start freaking out and yell at me…this would happen about every 3 nights. My son was fine when he was born was a week early and was perfectly healthy.. im sure they can tell your stressed and its prob not the best for them but like us there is no immediate effects.
Yeah, my friend had a baby. And she went through alot of stess. She actually got punched in the stomach a couple times, was put under pressure almost everyday, and every once in a while too. And she still had a happy, healthy baby
So dont worry, just relax!

i was stressed and depressed and nuts basically my whole last month of being pregnant, I couldn’t take it any more….3 days overdue I went to the Doc and he induced me when I told him, crying, that I couldn’t take it any more, I was crying all the time and so stressed out and felt like I could jump out a window (not literally) but he induced me and put me on prozac asap….but my daughter is now 10 and happy and healthy and smart and beautiful….I really believe the womb protects, so don’t worry, you and your baby will be fine. And tell your doc how you are feeling and he can suggest things for you and your personal situation! Good Luck!
Sometimes its the hormonal imbalance that causes a person to be stressed all the time. My friend went through this in all her pregnancies. She was very irritable, always stressed, and feeling down most of the time. Her baby boy and girl are very healthy!! Just advice the person not to take out the stress with anything that would interfere or affect the preg.
Good Luck!!!
I have a VERY stressful pregnancy .. and my daughter is the giggliest and happiest kid ever .. shes very healthy she’s been sick like 3 or 4 times … and that was only a cold ., ,
So yes you can have a real stressful pregnancy and have a happy healthy baby
My baby’s dad and i split up, i realized my original OB was a nut job, i moved to another county, the baby’s dad gave up on us, and my grand father died.
My daughter turned out Perfect.
I am pregnant again, i planned arranged and paid for an entire wedding all by myself. I am due in 2.5 weeks and my Dr. says the baby is absolutely healthy.
Sometimes stress and anxiety is completely unavoidable.
Good Luck!
I myself deal with depresson and anxiety, but I have a dear friend who had stress and anxiety during pregnancy and her baby was a beautiful happy and healthy baby girl.
I went through a time of extreme stress. I was a receptionist and a guy I worked with got fired. He started calling and harassing me everyday and threatening me. I’m not sure why he targeted me, but for the fact I was pregnant and vulernable. We called the cops but they couldn’t do anything. This went on for months (about 2.5 – three).
Then before I went on maternity leave we hired a horrible temp that couldn’t remember a thing I showed her 10 minutes after. That was a horrible week bc I was due any minute and didn’t think I could leave. We finnally let that temp go and got a new one that worked perfect. I went into labor a few days later.
I have a happy, healthy beautiful boy. So don’t add anymore stress than there needs to be.
Many women have dealt with stress and anxiety.
yes, my first pregnancy i delivered my daughter stillborn at 37 weeks, so when i got pregnant the second time with my son, i was having anxiety attacks daily because i was terrified it would happen again, and i was dealing with marital problems at the same time because of it. I did have to be induced a couple of weeks early though because my blood pressure ended up skyrocketing, but i delivered a completely healthy and extremely happy baby boy who is the light of my life
That was my case. I was pretty much stressed because I was almost 38 and was afraid for my baby but she was born very healthy and I turned to be the most proud mom in the world!
I have a 3 month old, this pregnancy compared to my first was awful and not in a physical way so much as mentally. I was severely depressed and actually suicidal. I worried that my baby would come out ‘depressed’ or unbalanced or something but from the minute he was born he was so beautiful to me. (and everyone else) I swear he is the happiest baby in the world, he never cries unless he is hungry, he has slept through the night for the most part and even when he wakes up he doesn’t cry he just kicks and plays until I wake up. He is happy and healthy and I cant believe I was unhappy while pregnant with him but he was totally worth the chemical imbalance. lol i think it helps that i’m nursing too, i feel so needed.
Thank you everyone for all of your inspiring posts! I am having a very stressful pregnancy and it is SO important to have some consolation. Of course, I’ve worried terribly that the baby will turn out like I feel—i.e. stressed, depressed and emotionally volatile. Thanks for the hope!!!
God bless everyone of yous strong women… im going through so much right now and with only the added stress that my son would have to go through something because of it. I now feel like weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Thank you ladies ..especialy for not being at all negative but tottaly real and helpfull unlike crazy , ignoret women that jump to talking sh** or judging ppl. Thanks again!
