Stress delaying labor??

Question

Do you think stress could delay the start of labor? Or stall it?

Answer

100% YES! Stress counteracts oxytocin which helps labor progress.

Answer

Absolutely. Which is why labor tends to slow down or stop once you get to the hospital before ramping up again, because you’re not in your safe place (home).

Answer

It can, it send a chemical to baby saying it’s not “safe” to come out yet. Which can delay baby from making his/her entrance. That being said you’d have to be under a LOT of stress for that to happen. Regular everyday stress shouldn’t have an affect

Answer

It absolutely can!

Answer

Yes! I was having contractions for about 5 hours 8-10 minutes apart...we left our house and went to check into our hotel (closer to the hospital) and they messed up our room...my labor stalled and my contractions went very irregular and about 20 minutes apart for about 5 hours. It wasn’t until I napped and got settled in that they started up again!
