A little worried

I'm 14 weeks and going through a bit of a rough patch. I'm sick with a cough/cold for almost a week, and am working 6-7 days a week, 15-18 hours a day, commuting to/from the city everyday.

This has been going on for about 1.5 weeks and will last another 3 or 4 days. So here's my question -- is all this stress hurting the baby? I know it's almost over but I can't help but feel guilty, like maybe I'm putting the baby through too much stress. Please tell me I'm worrying over nothing and baby us fine.

Re: A little worried

I am sure the baby will be fine. I think they are alot tougher than we give them credit for.

Re: A little worried

So long as you are resting as much as you can and eating/drinking as best as possible, baby should be fine.

Re: A little worried

my ob told me that normal stress like working and keeping busy is ok. It's the stress you get from the loss of a close loved one or an extreme situtation that can be harmful or not good for the baby. I am sure its fine but as your OB if you're still concerned.
