If a pregnant woman in first trimester cries a lot, is tensed throughtout her pregnancy...how will it afffect?

Question

her baby? ( she tries a lot to divert her mind but can't help much as something has gone wrong in her life and she suffered from a heart break.)

Answer 1

She will probably have a happier second trimester. That is when most women enjoy their pregnancy the most. About effecting the baby, I would say sure. A baby is part of the mother and can sense things that the mother experiences.

Answer 2

The first trimester (first 12 weeks) can be a rather fragile time. You do have to worry about too much stress possibly causing trouble with the pregnancy.
Not to set off over worry or panic in either the mother to be or you.
A woman's pregnant body, and the fetus, are pretty resilient. But you must be careful of high blood pressure and over stressing, especially for prolonged periods of time.

Have her do her best to attempt techniques to relax. She needs to take it easy, not over work her body to couple with her aggrieved state.

She needs to make her obgyn aware of the amount of stress she is under, so that he/she can keep a closer eye on her condition as to possible means that the stress might have on her and then advise her accordingly.

The female body was made to be able to endure a lot while pregnant. On a reassuring note, there have been women who have endured much through out history and have still been able to have a sucessful pregnancy.
She simply needs to be careful and mindful of her body and what signs it might give her.

If she continues her high stress and worry through out her entire pregnancy, she can run the risk of her new born being very aggitated and colicky.

Answer 3

I'm so sorry you've experienced heartbreak in this time that should be the happiest time for you. Don't worry about diverting your mind, please do what you need to do to get through your pain. I mean really think about it: how many women are going through unimaginable stress and strain right now because their husbands are in Iraq? Their babies will be fine and so will yours.
The most important thing is to take care of yourself, see your Dr eat right all that stuff. And you know what? Cry your eyes out if you need too, your baby doesn't know laughing from crying and it might be more soothing rather then being so tense.

Answer 4

I always wondered that myself. Maybe you should ask yourself this question: What's the risk in a natural child birth, assuming that everything goes well? the pain, right? Now, what's the risk in having pain-numbing drugs injected into you before giving birth? Maybe they'll never wear off? Maybe they stuck the wrong place in your spine and you're now a paraplegic? Maybe your body will react bad to the epidural (not a problem for you, though)? I know that when I put something into my body that stops what is meant to be, it is wrong in a sense (maybe not an outright sin, but just a little wrong none the less). However, there's also the other argument that maybe God allowed man to find and utilize such a drug so that women wouldn't have to suffer so much anymore. I know one thing, when I choose to have children, I will receive an epidural, and I will see it as a gift from God, freedom from a pain that women were destined to have.

Answer 5

How sad. I was very upset with an unplanned pregnancy. I was distraught and practically useless. I worried for the poor innocent child but couldn't help feeling the depth of my anger and pain. It was a process I came out of slowly. Today, the child is the light in my life and has helped me so much. I would have liked a lot of support then - unjudging company to be with me. The unknown is so frightening. Be there for her when the baby arrives and gather friends who will help bless her and the baby. Blessings to you for caring.

Answer 6

This is how every women is feeling her 1st trimester. Don't worry about it. She'll feel alot better her 2nd trimester. The baby will also be fine.

Answer 7

I cry all the time and did through my pregnancies.... All 3 of my children are happy and normal. Except the youngest shes a bit whinny... Terriable twos I think it is.

Answer 8

horomones are crazy like that, this will not effect a healthy pregnancy or an unhealthy baby. Just be patient, things do get better.

Answer 9

it will be fine. they say that a woman who is stressed in her pregnancy will have a difficult baby but i dont believe that because as long as you reassure your baby that you love them. Things will be okay.

Answer 10

the baby born depress meaning that when it is for the child to born it will cause complications so i think will be happy dont worry
