Can I hurt the baby from being upset?!

Question

I got really upset today like crying a lot and kind of angry. I tried my best to calm down as soon as possible but I am afraid I already damaged my little nugget. My stomach has kind of been in pain/cramping off and on.

Tomorrow we have a US to see the heartbeat. I am 7 weeks. This is my 3rd pregnancy my other 2 ended in miscarriage. The first one I believe from all the stress I was going through.

Am I crazy for thinking the stress and being upset will harm my baby?! Hope you ladies can provide some comfort.

Answer

Chin up mama! Your nugget is just fine. Part of pregnancy is the emotional roller coaster ride. Plus it's always better to let those emotions out rather than bottle them up inside. Try some relaxation techniques. Usually the doctors office will have some pamphlets on different prenatal yoga studios or recommend places for a prenatal massage. Pamper yourself! You deserve it! ❤️ I had two miscarriages, one at 6 weeks and then one at 13 weeks. Then directly after we got pregnant again and I now have the most perfect little boy. Everything will be okay.

Answer

The cramping is probably from crying. My abdominal muscles hurt after crying a lot too.

Answer

No that won't harm your baby. It's best to try to avoid stress as much as possible but really, your baby will be fine.

Answer

No I really don't think so! The baby is protected very well our bodies were designed to protect them. It would be impossible for every women in history to go all nine months without some tears and anger! I'm a 4th grade teacher with one of my toughest classes ever! I'm angry, happy, annoyed, irritated, disappointed and proud 50 different times a day!! We should be good 😊
