I go through terrible stress at times. My hubby is great,but I get stressed no matter what.I am home all day and brood on some thoughts.
I want to know if anyone had such or more stress,emotional,not work stress or physical stress while pregnant and you had a happy healthy baby and you were healthy during pregnancy.
I had my 20 week ultrasound last week and all seems well so far.

Yes I had a great deal of stress trying to figure out how I was going to handle being a single mom. What I did was find a community councilor to express my stress so that the baby wouldn’t be hurt. Yes, that kind of stress can harm the baby, but don’t worry, you just really should seek some help so that you can avoid post partum depression; you don’t want that!
Stress can affect the baby but, it’s mostly just going into labor early that it causes. You should try to firgure out a way to deal with it before you get to far into your pregnancy..
I used to stress all the time about everything! It was horrible.
It puts stress on the fetus but I had a perfectly healthy baby girl (After they revived her..She wasn’t breathing due to complications during labor and delivery)
Just calm down, Start breathing when you get stressed or take a nice Warm bath. Get your nails done or Get a Prenatal Massage. You should enjoy pregnancy (Okay..So that’s really hard to enjoy it for some It was for me) But try! Lol.
Yes with my fourth baby I had horrible anxiety and emotional stress. At first they told us we would lose him. We went for 3 ultrasounds and we couldn’t find him. They told me I had a blighted ovum (where the baby stops developing) and to expect a miscarriage. We were devastated. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep. Nothing happened, so I insisted on one more ultrasound. And there he was!! They were wrong! So after that every pain or twinge I felt, I thought something was wrong and I was scared I was going to lose him. I was having panic attacks for no apparent reason. My hormones were going crazy so that wasn’t helping any. I went for days at a time without sleep. Toward the end it did start getting better. But he was born healthy as can be. lol..he went from “not going to make it” to being a born a 9lb 4 oz healthy baby. We call him our miracle
Almost every pregnant woman deals with stress. If the stress becomes too much, talk to your Dr. They can help. Best Wishes!
My mom was pregnant with my little sister and went through a lot of work stress and relationship stress with my step dad, they even split up while she was pregnant and a million other things happened. My little sister is a perfectly normal 10 year old kid who is one of the smartest kids in her class, they are even debating on letting her move up a grade
Just try to breathe and relax. The stress is most likely to cause you high blood pressure, which can cause some issues in the pregnancy itself.
I would not let the stress… stress you out
I was a wreck…with all 3 pregnancies. Stress is not good for you though. Try to relax and take one day at a time. I know its tough but your baby will be healthy as long as your healthy. I cried and stresses and worried like a maniac and i have 3 healthy children. At times i cried so hard i thought i was gonna throw up. Your baby is very well protected by your body. Quit freaking out! All is fine! My ex husband (but husband at the time) cheated on me while I was preg… so you can only imagine the emotional stess i had to deal with. He was a jerk! not all men are jerks. Have your hubby rub your tummy and talk about the baby and plan things with him, this will help pass the time till your holding your baby. BTW: it doesnt get easier after the baby is born…not to make matters worse but there is lack of sleep, and not a lot of mommy daddy time…take the time now to spend quality time and sleep because the first year can be tough. Be strong. good luck…and this too shall pass:)
I agreee with cutie-pie about that it only gets harder after the baby is born. I had a very stress free pregnancy, being that it was my first, but WOW, after I delivered my son, you talk about sleep deprivationa and emothional stress. I suggest haiving all your ducks in row before the baby comes. I did not plan on breastfeeding, but then I wanted to after I had my son. I was not that knowledgable about BF, even with the help of lactation consultnats and nurses, it was very difficult for me to produce enough milk for him. Anyways, I struggle now with being away from him at work. I think I have a mild PP depression, because I worry excessively about him at daycare and the daycare is doinf a great job. It is just me. I am thinking about making an appt. with a counselor, so it does not effect my son. good luck and everything will be okay. get your rest now…..:)
