Since i found out that I've been pregnant everything has been stressing me out.. Im about 8weeks now so I'm not that far into it but if someone looks at me the wrong way I just break down and cry. If my boyfriend says "what" when I call him I assume I did something wrong and get extremely upset.. why is this happening to me and can it severly effect my pregnancy ?

sounds like ur expecting ur first baby and it's normal for you to feel this way. I'm sure you-re worried about money, where ur gonna live, how u'll handle child care when the baby comes, how your relationship with you man will change for the good or bad etc?? just take it ond day at a time and when you have a chance- make a plan. example- this month buyt he crib, next month buy the stroller, so on and so forth. Little by little bargain shop for pampers on sale at like target, sams culb etc. I did this now with this pregnancy and i'm totally ready. I'm 6 months pregnant and i have pretty much everything except mostly clothing. I haven't bought too much clothes yet. I'm having a girl but let me give you some tips. I've been sopping around at outlet stores etc and have found really good sutff blankets, onesies, bibs, breat pumps, bottles etc for real cheap at like Burlington Coat factory, Big Lots Marshalls, Ross TJ Maxx. Most of my baby';s stuff is Calvin Klein or Ralph lauren. From Blankets to socks all at really good prices. You just have to look really good at the clearance racks and you'll be surprised of what you can find. I budgeted to spend about $2,500 on everything that the baby will need and so far i've spent about $1,200 and i have pampers of various sizes to last me 1 yr and wipes as well. Blankets, bibs, bottles, etc. If you can check online what these store have to offer and you'll find great deals for the things u'll need. You'll be fine you're really stressed by all that's happening right now and i'm sure there;s more than 1 person talking about the new prego girl in the family--YOU-- so- relax and jsut write down what ur plans are as far as work, baby sitting etc and hopefully that will help you relax knowing you have a plan. Kids are really expensive and trust me- this is the best way to go not to mentjon baby shower gifts etc. Good luck and congrats!!

Calm down sweetie. While it isn't good for you or your baby to become stressed out all the time it is perfectly normal. Because your pregnant your hormones are all crazy. I'm 14 weeks and I'm the same way. When I get upset I try to stop and see if the reason I'm upset is a valid reason. Lol wait until your driving down the road listening to music and you start bawling over the stupidest song and cant quit. Its extremely embarrassing!

It is probably your pregnancy doing it to you.
I am having the same problem. This is my second pregnancy. I didn't have this issue with my daughter. For some reason this pregnancy has made me very sensative. I am person that hates to cry, so I don't. I am emotional normally, but my emotions are aggressive or angry, not wheepy. It has been very hard for me to deal with, not to mention for others around me. But knowing it is my hormones and not me "going nuts", I feel better.
It is hard to deal with, but remember, it is out of your control. Take a deep breath. It should get better as your body adjusts with the hormones. They tend to peak at about 14 - 18 weeks. Good luck, and try to stay sane.

A certain level of hormonal peaks are normal during pregnancy. If "everything" is setting you off it could be a sign of prepartum depression. Other signs include insomnia, changes in appetite, over sleeping (other than just being tired from being pregnant), severe mood swings, anxiety, and wanting to withdrawl from normal activities. I would see your doctor to make sure its just run of the mill hormones. Being stressed isnt good for a pregnancy, although its hard to avoid sometimes. If your constantly stressed, it has been proven that it increases the babys heartrate. Take prenatal yoga and watch your diet. But please see your doctor!

It is normal. Your hormones are going crazy. When I was pregnant, my feelings were hurt very easily. Stress isnot good for pregnancy, but normal stress is OK. Traumatic stress is what can cause problems. Don't worry about it. I once started crying in the video store because my husband didn't want to rent any of the videos I suggested. I knew I was being silly, but I couldn't help it.

Stress is not very good for a pregnancy i use to cry to. Then i started dong my own stuff, dont think about how ppl are looking at you just worry about you and the baby on the way keep yourself busy. Try not to let little things get to you, it can affect your pregnancy so take it easy.

~I remember this all too well, my poor husband didnt know what to do with me. Sweety its just all part of being preggy, I was really bad around that time as well as a few weeks ago too......Just keep telling yourself that this is only temporary and you'll be back to yourself soon!!

It's normal, it's the hormones. They will level off during the 2nd trimester and then come back again in the 3rd, its just all part of being pregnant.

it is called HORMONES !! and it will pass, or in most cases it does...... when you reach your 3rd month it should start to calm down some...... your body is going thru a period of adjustment, getting to know its new passenger..... everything is changing..... your body has to make room, adjust to feeding, and nurturing a new person..... it just takes time for it all to fall into place...... dont worry about it.... take the time each day to relax..... lay down , close your eyes, listen to soft music and just breath !!!!!!!!!!!! it this does not help, talk to your doc. about it, the doc. should be able to help you...... but, this is all NORMAL....... God bless and congrats !!!!!!!
