Baby & Stress

I have a very high stressed job that I honestly leave work every night with my neck and shoulders completley in knots as well as my stomach...Im starting to get worried this is going to hurt my baby...Im currently 13w5d and have been having cramping/twinges lately

I am trying so hard to not get stressed but its honestly almost impossible...Ive talked to my boss about it and Im basically told to deal with it.

Is all this stress hurting my baby?

Re: Baby & Stress

I have a high stress job too, and everything I read has said that normal daily stress won't hurt the baby - only extreme stress. I think you should be fine, but of course ask your doctor if you are concerned.

Re: Baby & Stress

I think it's all about how we handle stress - some people totally freak out and just can not deal, others handle high stress situations very well -

Obviously if you HAVE a high stress job, you are not one of those people who can't deal , so I wouldn't worry too much about how the stress is effecting the bab -
