7385901 tn?1402928016 You found me pompous... and I found you hostile to each their own. Why didn't you post this under pregnant:social where it belongs. And if that's your idea on how to handle stress you seem a lil immature. I mean you're mad because one person disagreed with you? That's sad.... you can say what you want but be assured I will promptly forget this conversation and you and go back to my baby bliss.
Avatar f tn I would just like to advice you to try to avoid all stress, external or internal, as much as you can. You know what its like to be trying for yrs for a child and you have to do all in your power to protect urself and your new baby. Why not discuss with ur dh how this particular matter is affecting you and the fears you have about it stressing the baby......
Avatar f tn I didnt quit until my 2nd trimester because it does cause stress on the baby aswell.. ut was easier for me to quit in my second trimester, I tried in my first but couldnt keep my own stress levels right. Honestly all you can do it take it at your own pace.

Avatar n tn The normal procedure is to get you Euthyroid, neither hyper nor hypo, and then monitor you very closely during pregnancy. Your body will go out of whack while pregnant, and the challenge will be to keep your hormones in a range that will allow for a healthy delivery.
5609181 tn?1375332372 That's why I've tried to push the stress away so much that when I'm conscious it's coming out when I'm sleeping and I'm waking up in pain.. There's nothing I can do about it.. This is where I live and I just don't feel comfortable about sharing this special time in my life with someone I hardly know. I can never feel relaxed.
Avatar f tn Just don't overwork yourself. Try to reduce your hours if you feel you need to. And yes pregnancy is a different ball park in 37 weeks and sometimes I don't wanna get out of bed. I pray I don't go into labor at work!
5982197 tn?1391477396 One of the most important and hardest lessons for caregivers to learn is how to take care of themselves. It is impossible to effectively care for someone else when you are not caring for yourself. You cannot control everything, but you can control some things.

Avatar n tn Is there a drug that I can use to reduce my stress levels while trying to conceive and taking fertility medifcine? I have this theory - my periods started being irregular in my final school year when I was 18 - and the year was very stressful. The dr then said I will have problem trying to conceive - which was true until I fell pregnant with my son without trying to conceive(a very stress free period in my life). That was 6 years ago - and no lucky surprises since then.

Avatar f tn I am stating the obvious here but I just realized HOW MUCH stress can affect TTC! Actually DH and I are on a break from TTC until Jan/Feb, but I have been under a TON of stress at work the past 3 weeks. I am now CD20 and STILL haven't ovulated!!! I figured the stress of TTC had a lot to do with our failure to get pregnant and now I'm even more convinced how much stress can play a role in our bodies! WOW!

Avatar n tn First things first, relax and breath deep. Being stressed out is not good for your babies or you. Your body will protect the babies as best it can-so relax for now. Have you thought about getting a second opinion? Perhaps you can taper down while pregnant to reduce the impact on your babies (if quitting isn't an option)? Definately get more than one opinion on this. I don't know your medical history so I can't comment about your doctors choice of keeping you on the meds.
531835 tn?1215615037 I have a wonderful boyfriend who can not come inside my apartment becasue I have two cats. I want to continue my relationship but I am unsure about what I can do to reduce him having a reaction. He has told me that in the past was was able to be around cats and to a point can be in a house with cats as long as they are kept out of the room he is in. Thats great except I have to have the litter box and everything in my bedroom and can not put it anywhere else becasue I share my apartment.
Avatar f tn I was going thru a lot when I found our I was pregnant and practically cried everyday for a week, so I totally know how you are feeling. What I can tell you is that try to reduce your stress as much as possible... You and your baby will feel much better! How I de-stress....
Avatar f tn What are some opinions on smoking while pregnant? Risk of quitting while pregnant? Types of complications the baby can have?
Avatar n tn Some people have stress while sleeping; my ex wife used to fall asleep while having sex. It's a funny world.
Avatar f tn I completely understand your agony. I've had four pregnancies, two of which were after a miscarriage. Just understand that what you're feeling is completely normal. Also understand that there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent a miscarriage. If it's going to happen, your body will just do it. Try not to worry about it and try to enjoy every day of being pregnant. It's a gift whether it lasts for 9 months or 3 weeks. Enjoy building life!
