I just got in an full blown verbal argument with my sister and she don't know that I'm pregnant. I'm kind of moody right now, but it's her fault!! Over something stupid of course, but I argued back...yelling, screaming, the works, but nothing physical. I just want to know, will this hurt my baby in anyway? I'm still in my first trimester. I'm worried about this..please help. Thank you.

anything that raises your heart rate is not great for an unborn child. But you so need to have a family discussion and let everyone know your secret. This will help your family understand that they need to be sensitive to you.
congratulations and good luck

Oh, I remember being under that type of stress. My work environment was stressful to the point that I would get in full blown arguments with my managers. Long story behind that one. The hubby and I would also get into it. Full blown, screaming, teeth gritting arguments. I would cry, scream, and yell until I couldn't do it anymore. I would say stress will just hurt you and not the baby. It hasn't been proven that stress has anything to do with miscarriages or anything like that. However, a colicy baby may result from all the stress if it continues.
Just try to find ways to avoid arguments and anything that would put stress on you. Good luck!

You don't say how far along you are, but to tell you the truth, it doesn't matter anyway. Your baby is fine. Getting into an argument doesn't cause enough long term stress to affect you or your baby. I've gotten into several arguments since I've been pregnant with my fiance, usually over stupid things because I'm hormonal. My baby is fine. We had an ultrasound at 21wks and everything looks great. You're over it now so that's all that matters. Make up with your sister and let her know she's going to be an auntie. =)

I would say don't worry about one argument. It's only when you are very stressed most of the time that could affect your baby. With my first baby, there was a very serious ongoing family crisis, which kept me upset most of the time I was pregnant and as a result, I had high blood-pressure the entire pregnancy, couldn't keep food down, cried all the time...etc. I ended up having the baby 6 wks premature. The doctor said it probably just wasn't a good environment for him. He is fine now, a very healthy, normal 13 year old. So...don't worry unless it becomes constant.

Well the stress might play a roll on your baby.. Your heart rate probably went up and the baby can hear... So its probably a very upsetting environment... Don't do it again.... Be peaceful and calm from now on and give your baby a stress free life while its forming and growing,,,, You don't need your blood pressure to go up and make sure you are not smoking either....Good luck..No more fighting with sister... Tell her you are sorry that you argued and want her to know she is going to be an Aunt... Ask her to go out shopping for a play pen and tell her all of this in one sentence.. Kind of a shock therapy and I bet she won't remember the spat she had with you.. She will run to you with a new outlook.. Probably have her mouth open.. She will step back and both of you can move forward and think of some names for the baby.. Not about you and sister anymore.. Baby number 1 now

Don't worry too much. Worrying too much will be worse than the argument on your baby. Do try and keep yourself out of stressful situations in the future, but if they happen, just take nice deep breaths and relax through your feelings. You and the baby will be fine. remember, healthy children get born in war zones and during natural disasters. God is watching over both of you.

I would say don't worry about your baby. But the more you stress over this ordeal with your sister, the more harm you bring to your body emotionally. So I'd patch things up with your sister and remind her that she's going to be an Aunt. five bucks says she'll forget about everything you two fought about and start fresh with you. Hope this helps you out.
by the way congrats on the baby.

No, you should be fine. Try to take it easy as much as possible, though, you don't need to be under stress right now. Try to make up with her, even though it was her fault, it's a lot nicer to have your sister by your side through your pregnancy.

Honestly many women go though the ups and downs in the mood I know I sure did and it wasnt easy. In most cases it does not harm your baby b/c its natural hormonal changes, however in exces or rage, and or stress can, it can cause early birth, miscarrage,and other things.

Stress is not a good thing for your body or baby while being pregnant. I don' t think one argument will do any damage though.

I don't think it will hurt the baby. My sister in law's sister (does that make sense) was punched in the stomach by her jerk husband when she was pregnant and her baby is fine. He was born last month. Relax!
