Stress and baby?

I know it's annoying when people act like their dogs are humans. But I'm totally one of those people. My two basset hounds have been diagnosed with parvo, and I don't have $2400 to keep them at the vet so we're doing SubQ fluids and treating the boys at home. I think I cry about 10 times a day, for the last 5 days. And this morning I woke up to complete body chills and I'm freezing even though it's 90 degrees and I haven't been able to keep down food. I know I've read that stressing out is bad for baby. But like, how bad? Is he feeling my emotions? I know I need to eat because starving a fetus isn't good. But as far as the stressing myself to sickness, is it effecting my baby?

    Are you sure your stress is causing those physical symptoms? Sounds like you have a fever - have you taken your temperature? Some stress isn't going to harm your baby. Think of women who live in a war zone - now that's something to stress about and could cause some negative effects on baby. Worrying isn't going to change or fix anything. Sounds like you're doing what you need to do for your dogs. Good luck.

    No. Stress does not affect your baby.

    I'm sorry about your dogs.

    That's very true. I haven't taken my temp. I definitely should do that.
    Thank you!
