I am almost 15 weeks pregnant and have had a very unhappy time for the last 2 weeks. Life has been very stressful and upsetting. This has resulted in a lot of tears. Do you think this upsets my baby too? My husband is very supportive but these are my family problems that he is unable to assist with. We tried for this baby so hard (18 months ttc) and I want it so much and don't want to cause upset. Just if anyone has any experience with a really unhappy pregnancy was everything ok in the end?

It is my Dad's wife who appears to have gone totally insane - we currently all live together but we are selling up but in the meantime it is very upsetting. I can't wait to be just me, hubby and bump / baby if it is after Feb '08 - I hope not after Feb!

People say that it effects the baby, but I am not sure.
In my last PG, I went through the worst 5 months of my life. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given 4-6 months even with treatment. She had 1 chemo treatment and ended up in the hospital due to an adverse reaction. I found out I was PG while she was in the hosp. Mom got out of the hosp 10 days after I found out about the PG.
The next night, my father died of a heart attack. 4 months to the day my mom passed, and I was in the room.
My Daughter is happy and healthy.
I wish you happiness.

Being stressed out will affect the baby, but it doesn't automatically mean your baby will be hard to deal with after it is born.
To be perfectly honest, I really hate being pregnant. I hate not being able to bend over, I hate being tired...I am just not a very happy pregnant person. However, I have had 2 beautiful children and they were both WONDERFUL babies.
They both slept well, were happy, healthy and of course, adorable!
In the end, all the stress and pain will be worth it! You do need to focus on being less stressed though. You didn't say what was causing it, but get a therapist if you need to. Having a neutral ear to listen to you can be wonderful.

Of course the baby will be fine. Stress however may cause things like high blood pressure which could result in pre-eclampsia and you don't want that. Although some people have car accidents and go on to deliver healthy babies!
Take time to relax, let your husband pamper you and help out where he can. Be assured that your baby is safe and snug as a bug just where he/she is. But do take time to forget about anything else except you, hubby and baby.
Baby shopping is the one thing that will take your mind off family issues I guarantee it!!

When I was pregnant with my first son, I was VERY emotional and I hated being pregnant, I couldn't stop crying and when I got upset because me and my husband would fight, I would feel Ayden kicking inside. Now that he is 15 months old, If my husband and I fight he gets very upset and hates the yelling. I know it affects the baby. The more you stress out the more likely the baby could be born premature. My co-worker went throught that. She had her son at 32 weeks along, the baby only weighed 2 lbs.........he was born all because of stress.

My first one was a VERY unhappy and truthfully unwanted pregnancy. But I went thru with it and had my baby. He is different that the other two that I had that were planned but he had it harder growing up b/c he dad and i weren't together. And my other two have me and dad and I am able to stay home with them. All in all its an oldwives tale but sometimes those old wives were right. Don't get stressed you need to relax and stay away from conflict and tension your body is workingovertime right now making ababy and the last thing you need is extra stress.

This should be an exciting time for you & yours. I agree try to avoid the stress. Be blunt and tell your family members just what you have told us -- and until they can behave, and/or solve there problems you stay low key. Enjoy your pregnancy, your husband and ready your home. Let other family members know they are welcome to share this experience with you&hubby but not to bother you with other things for the next 9 months. You have tried very hard and waited a long time for this. Stay happy&healthy.

ok---I don't believe it does affect your baby. I had the same scenario with wacky parents and a wacky mother-in-law, I was also selling and moving into a house and needed to get organized, plus had surgery for incompetent cervix at 12 weeks, bedrest from 20 weeks onwards for my husband to lose his job while on my bedrest, in my new home that needed homerepairs. Talk about stress!!
Well I had a wonderful baby boy who ends up being the most loveable. I hope I dispel that myth for you!
Good luck, stress doesn't help you but it doesn't harm the baby! SO, don't worry please!
