They go back and forth on this. Some say yes, and some say no. It is hard to tell because Scientists are very reluctant to do stress tests on pregnant women for obvious reasons. (For the same reasons that medications arent tested on Pregnant women).
Calm yourself down, and choose not to fight. It takes two people. Just simply dont fight. Go read a book, take a candle bath and for the time being, just agree to disagree.
That way, if you do miscarry, you wont feel guilty thinking you could have prevented it if you would have only ......
And if you dont - Then you will have a more calm pregnancy without a lot stress. Its a win win situation!
Good Luck and Congrats!

Stress released toxins into your body that attack the weakest part. And when you are pregnant, the weakest part of your body is your baby. So try to avoid the fights and the stress...if you feel like what you are gonna say will cause a fight, then bite your lip. If your husband starts a fight, calmly and quietly tell him that the fight will harm the baby, and could you talk about it when ya'll can both be calm. If you don't feel you can avoid a fight, stay in a hotel for a night or two to help get you away from stress. Or find something that you can both do to help you both relieve stress.

If that were the case my oldest child would be four. When my husband and I were pregnant with our first (now 8) we fought all the time. I mean it was almost constant. When I was pregnant with my dd two years later my mother found out she had cancer and I spent my entire pregnancy helping her and caring for her, also causing many fights with my husband. Stress does make the pregnancy harder to deal with and it can cause early delivery. My dd was born two weeks early. I suppose in some women it can cause miscarriage, but I wouldn't bet on it for most women. I mean, there are pregnant women in jail, or taking crack, or on heroin. It seems a little far fetched that a disagreement with a spouse could cause a miscarriage unless he's punching or hitting you. This is my opinion. Good Luck

The hormones that stress triggers have been linked to miscarriage-especially during the 1st trimester.Your risk of miscarriage goes way down after week 12 anyways.I have heard that it takes alot of stress though-like the death of a loved one or a divorce-something that makes you horribly upset.
Try to take deep relaxing breaths after you and the hubby fight.Get some fresh air and relax-your baby needs it.

It can but doesn't always. When I got pregnant with my last baby (18 months old now) my hubby and I were going through the worst time of our marriage. We were fighting and actually thinking about getting divorced. (I was on the pill.) We had a normal, healthy pregnancy (until toxemia at the end) and she is beautiful. She actually made us change our minds and work out our differences. Now we are expecting another one. This one planned though. I think fighting is normal and if you do have a miscarriage (god forbid) then it will be nothing you or your hubby did wrong. Good luck and congrats

My doctor says that stress is one of the leading causes of miscarriage. So I would have to say yes. Do not fight with your spouse, just walk away, laugh it off, or just don't say anything at all! :)

You betcha! Calm down and try to enjoy this experience. Stress causes lots of problems with or without being pregnant. Get some counseling, talk to your doctor, but keep cool! Good luck!

Yes - Stress is the main factor in miscarriage. Talk to your husband.. Also, acknowledge that probably isn't the only one contributing to the arguments. Take it easy, chill out and try not to get too angry.
Best of luck.
