Im 22 weeks pregnant and im under a lot of stress for different reasons. My main reason is because im living with my boyfriend 8 hours away from any family and friends of mine. I dont know anyone here besides my bf and he doesnt really care or support my pregnancy that much. He also doesnt think the baby is his (but it is) My question is that how can stress affect my pregnancy, and i am considering moving up with my family until the baby is born and then getting a paternity test to ease his mind, should i move up or stay here and be stressed out?

You're in a delicate state you need to be around those who love you and support you the most, if that means moving back to your family then do it. Stress can cause low birth weight, pre-term labor and premature delivery, don't risk it. If he doesn't believe the baby is his then it's his loss, you take care of you and yoru baby! Good luck!

My water broke at 27 weeks pregnant, was admitted into the hospital for 5 weeks. Got a massive infection in the placenta, had to induce labor at 32 weeks. She was only 4 lbs 10 ounces. Never got to hold my baby after birth, instead I watched her live inside an incubator for 1 week, touching her only through two little holes. Got to take her home another week later. She had asthma (under developed lungs) Had a new infection every couple of weeks from age 2 to 3. ( eyes, nose, throat, ears) Now she is as healthy as a horse. Long story short this all stemmed from extreme stress. I have discovered that dealing with getting your stress under control immediately is essential, or you will suffer its consequences long term therefore causing more stress ten fold. Try meditating, warm baths, letting some one else take over some responsibilities, and my god pamper yourself!!!! And if work is a contributing factor to stress take your leave now. I know in Canada you can take sick leave before maternity leave.

Move. I went through something similar with my son's father. The situation did not get any better after my son was born. It got much worse. We ended up living together for 14 months. At which time he ended up arrest for assault. You do not want to raise your child in an unsupportive environment.
Go to be with your family, so that you will have the help you need once the baby arrives. Don't think that he is only acting this way now, and that things will change once the baby is here. It won't change, and he will probably get worse.

Stress if very harmful while pregnant you could have a misscarige and I am sorry to say but your Bf sounds like an azz I'd move up with your family and yes get a paternity test to prove to him that the child is his.

Move if he can't support your pregnancy then go where someone can. As far as stress when I was pregant with my 11 month old I was under alot of stress and she had pooped before she was born and we had to have a peditrcion there to make sure she did not breath in any of it or swollow any of it. Stress can also cause you to go into preterm labor.

MOVE! You have to do what is best for your baby. Moving may not removed all of your stress but you will have more support. You may love your boyfriend but it's not about you or him now. It's about your child. Go where you will feel loved and supported.

I would go back to your family, sounds like they guy is a bit of a jerk and you don't need to deal with that. I would just move back with your family until you can sort things out.

best to go stay with your family he obviously does not respect you to in other words saying you are a slut.(thinking the baby is not his.)
why are you stil wasting time a woman should be respected if she is to be respected. you should have moved out yesterday already...
no one should live in fear (stres) not even when you are not pregnant...
