I know stress is common whether you're pregnant or not but I guess I am just feeling guilty about a huge fight Dh and I got into today. I am wondering what exactly happens when you are stressed out to the baby? Should I be worried? I don't have spotting or any of that, I just don't want to feel like I scared my child for life... one website I was on said it would impact how the baby is when they are born? Thoughts?!
Re: Stress during pregnancy...
Make a pregnancy ticker
DH and I had a few blowouts (think: yelling match and scream crying) so far this pregnancy and after a day or so things were calm and back to normal.
I am way more apt to take things overboard these days and DH's patience with my moodiness is thin-- but I suggest calmly discussing it the next day (or so) when you're both calm and ready. It helped me ease my mind, and it also gave me a chance to tell DH that stress on baby is NO GOOD and it has made him more conscious of how we affect the baby.
It's also good to get in a better mode of communication before baby comes because fighting in front of baby outside of the womb is just as (if not more) destructive.
However, keep in mind-- we're all human. We're all bound to get on each others last nerve from time to time...
