Can stress cause miscarriage?

Question

I’ve always had a lot of stress even before I got pregnant & it’s continuing into my pregnancy now & not getting any better. I’m super paranoid about how this can effect my baby. I’m currently 8w+3d

Answer

I’ve worried about this my whole pregnancy but now 26 weeks and everything is great still.  Lots of arguments, lots of family drama, and still everything is okay.  Take time for yourself, learn how to be calm for yourself. And relax!!! I’m still learning every day.  We are so hard on ourselves as pregnant women!  It’s normal to be stressed.

Answer

Normal stress is not going to cause miscarriage...stress associated with a significant traumatic experience, maybe, but most miscarriages are due to something being wrong with the embryo, not anything the mother did.
