I have been having a lot of anxiety lately. I try to do “deep breathing” and other stress reducing techniques but nothing is really working. I worry about how this stress is affecting my pregnancy. Please give me some advice…

Just wondering if anyone has been there…stress during pregnancy. I’m beginning my second tri-mester and due to circumstances outside of my control, I am extremely stressed out. Anyone out there know about the effects of stress during pregnancy? I’m talking about what the stress can do to you and the baby. I know all about relaxation and such, that’s not what I’m looking for. Just different ways that stress can take it’s toll, mainly physically for both baby and me. And yes, I have an OB and three other kids, I’m just putting this out there for all you moms who have been through this and can offer me some information based on reality. I guess I’m just curious. Thanks for your help!

I feel like my life is falling apart, my boyfriend that I have been with for two and a half years kicked me out of my house this weekend, and I am around 8 – 12 weeks preggo. He gave me very little money and I really have nothing but a few clothes. The relationship has been somewhat verbally abuse for a while now, and I feel like now that I am pregnant, I have to think of the baby and the life that it would have if I tried to stay, or if I just walked away. So walking away seems to be the right decision. The only problem is, I am so stressed, all I have been doing is crying for days. I have no job, and less than $100 to my name. I have been staying with a friend, so expensives have been low, but I am not sure where I will live, how I will get money, and how I will afford pregnancy. I haven’t been sleeping/eating well for quite a few days which I know isn’t good. Just wondering some good ideas to help me take my mind off the situation, and to be able to relax. Any ideas?
I appreciate everyones advice with dealing with the situation, although, I am looking more for ideas on relaxation. I know that everything will come together in time, but I want to find something to help relax me. Right now I am very tense, and keep getting tension headaches, so I need to just have some calm time.
This is a message for Heather, first of all, I never did say that I was too good to work. I am currently looking for a job and have gotten quite a few leads today. I also will be getting my own place rather quickly. I think it is crappy that you want to call someone out for asking for a little advice. I know that I can make it on my own, I have done it before. All I wanted was some ideas on how to relax and my heartache, because I know time eases pain but some times I feel like the time isn’t going quick enough.

Hi , am 18 weeks pregnant passing through a very stressed pregnancy specially this week i passed through sad days i ve been crying for 3 days now bcoz of some personal problems .. does all this make my baby suffer? is it bad for the baby?????

I am 32 and 1/2 weeks pregnant. My husabnd is an active duty Marine. He has recently started his pre-deployment training. He is my support through our whole pregnancy. I have to send him a red cross message when i go into labor while he is in training. Anyway, with him gone, and no ability to contact him at all, it makes me feel so alone and for the past 4 days since he left, i havent been able to stop crying. I cant keep my mind of his absence because everything in our house reminds me of how much i miss him. But i cannot wander too far from the house in case i go into labor. I am a high risk pregnancy due to my RH – situation. I have had an extremely healthy pregnancy so far, this is my first bump in the road. Does anyone have any advice, or know anything about the effects of stress and depression on a 32 week pregnancy? I appreciate your help.

Besides pregnancy, stress and a change in diet what can cause a late or missed period? I am currently 6 days late. I am never ever late. My husband and i have been actively trying to conceive since August. I have taken 2 pregnancy test and they have both been negative! Thanks in advance for all answers!
