How Can My Stress Affect My Baby?
|
I am under a lot of pressure at work and at home. I just started a new job 3 months ago (I'm 6 weeks now) and there is a lot going on in my family life. I'm trying to balance everything but I'm starting to really feel strained. Is all my stress hurting my baby, and how can it effect him or her?

He can feel your mood, if you`re happy or sad, when you`re crying or laughing out loud. The mother`s stress can affect the baby in her womb in that he will feel a lot like what she felt during her pregnancy. I heard if it is a girl, when she will grow up and be pregnant herself she will feel your fears right now, your doubts, your stress....it`s something related to inheritance from mother to daughter. Try to be more relaxed and say to yourself that you will not meet with THIS pregnancy again, so you might enjoy it like you enjoy every minute of you being alive, right? Every pregnancy is different and this is why you should be more selfish this time and let go of any pressure...just say to yourself you are going to make it...you have your little helper inside you, so this should give you more courage:) Good luck !

Pregnant women should always avoid stress as it affect the baby. The baby inside you can feel the stress you are having and is affected very much of you mood or any problems that you have. Stress is the one thing that causes miscarriage. Don't let this happen to you. Avoid stress.

your stress can really work over your baby and pregnancy, the baby usualy feels the same as the mommy when it comes from stress level, the stress work over your body with your blood pressure and hormones that increase and some substancies that are in your blood they increase or drop the levels, as long as you share blood in your umbilical cord with your baby he or she must feel the effects of the stress, stress can hurt your baby in the way that if you dont control you can suffer a miscarriage or it can even induce you a premature labor depends which time of the pregnancy the stress crisis are occuring. The best thing to do is try meditate and chill out the changes that are happening your life now you must see them as positive things and try don't get bothered about some of the things that must not be working out like you expect coz sometimes most of our stress and upset times are nothing that we can done to change some situations, Relax and try be calm now coz your baby and you need a peaceful pregancy.

During my whole pregnancy I was really emotional and under a lot of stress. I was working full time then and the commute really adds up to everything. I tend to cry everyday because I'm very very sensitive to even the slightest thing. What I've noticed is that every time I cry, my baby seems to also get uneasy inside. I'm not really sure how psychologically affected he might be then, but what I'm most certain is that he knows when something is wrong. So I suggest that you take a hold of your emotions and try to relax as much as you can.
