Is it a bad Idea to TTC when you are under alot of stress? or can you even get pregant under stress?

Question

Me & my huband are thinking about having a baby But we both are under a lot of stress right now, would it be best to wait?

When I mean stress I mean death of a loved one.
My Daddy is dieing, He as about 6 months to live. We have allways been very close so you can guess how much stress I am under.

Thanks for your advise *HUGS*

Answer 1

you don't want to be stressed, but some good may come out of it. my husband and i were going through a stressful time and took the weekend and went out of town, couple weeks later, we found out i was pregnant, it resulted in a miscarriage, but taking some time for yourselves around your ovulating time, might help. with your dad dying, it may be something great to have him hear that you are expecting, he might be hanging on just to hear that news and you won't believe how happy you have made him.

Answer 2

I am very sorry to hear about your father's ailing health.... I think he would be very happy to hear you were trying to conceive...

There is no scientific facts around stress and pregnancy... Like most things it is only conjecture.... Don't put off your life since you see now how delicate it can be... Move forward and enjoy every second you have with your loved ones...

God Bless

Answer 3

Stress or no stress, I'd be TTC because...your Daddy would probably like to hold his grandchild in his arms before he goes.
