It definitly affects the baby and can also lead to premature birth. First if you can't talk to your husband have the doctor talk to him and tell him how important it is for you to not be so depressed and worked up, then he needs to deal with his family and you yours just tell them all that right now you are not in the situation to deal with all of this and that if they can't respect you and your choices then please stay away. Tell your doctor if it gets any worse. I delivered my son 6 1/2 weeks early all because my ex husbands family kept me in a nervous panic the entire time or would have me mad and worked up over things. Please talk to your hubby and get him to listen to the doc if nothing else.

It can if you are depressed for long periods of time or become upset frequently. Everything our bodies do is controlled by chemicals. Chemicals are produced by glands and travel thru the bloodstream to get to their destination. It's because of this that your baby could be harmed. These chemicals could cause your child to have mood disorders like anxiety or depression.
I would take every precaution. First off, try to leave the room or even the house when your family is arguing. Tell them straight out that you will not be present for these fights b/c the stress could harm the baby. Second, do things to destress yourself. Take slow walks in the sunshine. Do some pregnant safe exercising. Eat a healthy diet that is designed to give you energy and keep your immunity up. Read good books. Join a mommies-to-be club. Hang out with someone who makes you smile.
As long as you take care of yourself, I'm sure your baby will be fine. Good luck and God bless.

Yes. When i was pregnant for the first time my husband had an illegal relationship with another woman. I was in great tension and always was thinking about it. As a result of my mental tension the baby got abortioned. somehow after that we reconciled and got pregnant for the second time. Again i he went with that woman and he wanted to divorce me. This time i was very careful and avoided tension. For that i watched many comedy movies, ate healthy food and the main thing is that i read many positive attitude books. It really helped me to deliver normally and also gave me a guts to live. This is my own experience. We woman are responsible to give birth to a healthy baby. You keep your mind away from depression because your baby's future is more important than your happiness or your life. This is the way every mother thinks.
Be happy and give birth to a healthy and long living baby.
BEST WISHES!!!!!

Yes, certainly the environment in which the baby is developing within the mother's womb is a decisive factor of the nature and style of the baby when he/she will be grown up. Besides, if the mother is stressed the nourishment of the baby might not be proper.
Ignore your in laws and try to keep your husband convinced about yourself and your unborn baby. If you feel hard in it you may try to take help from your parents. But always be careful while taking help from your parents so that the self respect of your in laws or your husband do no get hurt.

Yes; it will affect u r unborn baby because all u r feelings and thoughts will be felt by u r baby but it happens for most of the women which we cannot avoid these kind of things. just forget everything listen to some good music, read good books and go for a small walk in u garden look some beautiful flowers dear. that's what u have to do now u r baby will be so happy to feel that his/her mum is caring him/her.

Yes it does. Be calm and never give in to depression, anger or any form of intense emotional outbursts. You should ask your people to leave you out of all these tensions, best go to your mom's place for delivery. Read some good books or mags, listen to good music whatever you like, relax by doing some intellectually challenging activities like sudoku, chess or crossword puzzles. Good for the baby. Be happy and cheerful always. Meditate or else just close your eyes and concentrate on the sounds inside you, your heartbeat, breathing etc. Its very relaxing.

Yes your mental health will affect your baby. You need to distance your self from the problems. Tell you hubby he needs to deal with his parents before the baby comes.

What ever affects you will affect your child also. listen to spiritual songs and read spiritual books. what your husband is doing? let him take you for a walk, share with him yur fears. even suggest him to go back to your house for a peace ful delivary. may god bless you.

Any stress isn't good for the baby or YOU. Tell them for the baby's sake to cut it out NOW.
