Avatar f tn He has not called me to ask about me n baby from last 3 months.This thing worries me a lot and I am continuosly under stress. Will this affect my baby s mental health??? I heard that taking tension harms baby?
Avatar f tn I smoked in my first pregnancy and my son is fine. No allergies no defects. This is my second and I've quit smoking completely and same no issues. Just depends on the person and other various things. Some heart defects clear up on their own after birth. They have pace makers if need be. It'll b OK.
Avatar f tn Do something that makes you happy. My mental health counselor has told me to find a hobby that doesn't allow me to train myself in my head so I don't over think the situation.
Avatar f tn I'm 33 weeks aswell been under so much stress these past weeks aswell . My Babygirl has not been moving as much sense yesterday I'm worried aswell. My boyfriend and I got into a huge argument earlier. He's been a huge asswhole. He makes me feel like he's feelings changed and doesn't even mind that I'm pregnant and can't be stressing .
Avatar f tn So around 3-4 days ago I started getting some tightness on my chest and I couldnt breathe easily and sometimes it would happen that I would go out of breath instantly while laying in bed. So I decided to visit a doctor today and he check my hearts and lungs and they were all fine. However he did mention that it might come from stress, although I dont care about anything and something really rarely stresses me out, until he mention that it could be due to too much thinking/illusions/delusions.
Avatar m tn I personally have been of stable mental health for 7 months and, according to the doctor and my own personal feeling, am ready to cease taking it. At the moment, I am over the moon at the moment so I don't fear the withdrawal symptoms, but of course I am worried for the baby as I am very early (only 5 weeks) and I don't want to mess up his or her nervous system. I am 23 and of very good health. Any advice is much appreciated!
Avatar f tn can you become mentally pregnant and your body start looking feeling and acting pregnant??? as in your boobs leak and you feel really sick?? and heart burn and hungry all the time and carring a headach off and on and having a lot of gas??
Avatar n tn stress and mental anguish does affect the baby. (i'm a stresser and my mom and df constantly yell at me for it) my mother is a nurses aid (also in nursing school....yay mom) so i do regard what she's says highly. it's never good to stress when pregnant......like mamaofone said....
231441 tn?1333892766 First my doc said it was candida, and was giving me antifungals for nearly 3 months. She did do examination and said it looked inflammed and there was some signs of chronic inflammation. Anyway, three weeks ago we did fungal culture which came back negative today. Now today she's saying it is just a nervous condition. She didn't do examination so I don't know if it's still inflammed, but it feels like it is.
1102290 tn?1278499953 so maybe I should bring this all up again to him in 2 weeks... Question - how do you deal with your stress - and do you think that my stress could be causing the eating issues and not the pregnancy? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I am 19 weeks along and the father and I fight everyday, screaming and crying kind of fights. Afterwards im shaking out of anger...How does this effect my child? I feel so guilty.

Avatar f tn Hi, have you heard, this is what I read that when you are put under a lot I mean alot of stress that your thyoid goes into survial mode and then it usually comes back and then everything is normal, what I mean is I read where if you have been threatned and or have P.T.S.D. I read this on the internet and it was from Doc.
541196 tn?1293552936 Ask your doc, they are very aware of what can happen to women under severe mental duress and stress. Just a little note to let you know there is a light at the end of the tunnell!! Even for pregnant women!!
Avatar n tn Hey girl, I hear ya! I'm a lawyer and currently between 9/10 weeks. I am paranoid and a complete mess about every single fear you mentioned. I'm so nauseous and fatigued all day I can barely complete tasks that used to be so simple. I've heard that those symptoms typically get better when you enter the second trimester. As far as coping right now? (1) talk to yourself: you are not alone, plenty of us working mamas are with you and going through the same thing- we can be strong!
Avatar f tn g the pain (and only since falling pregnant) has gone from scatty to always around the times 9pm, 1am, 3.30am, (mental) so I have to take 2 Zapain tablets at 8pm, 12am and 2.30 am. Its working! the agony is lessened. I would certainly avoid rich dairy prouct, cream, eggs, soft cheese as even though we should avoid these in pregancy its a definate must with IBS and caffeiene is a buggar!
612876 tn?1355514495 Anxiety about meds, and doctors. Severe reactions to meds before cause anxiety now. Stress about insurance, and money. I take 10mg prozac. I take .25 klonopin prn. My anxiety is because of autonomic dysfunction.
Avatar f tn I was just at the doctor today. I am considered a high risk pregnancy. I have missed my levothyroxine 150mcg medicine for about 4 or 5 days in a row. This has happend on a few different occasions throughout the pregnancy. My levels have always been normal. Today they were not. I was told it was above 5, I am not sure what that means but it wasn't good. The doctor told me that if it was not caught in time, the baby's IQ may be lowered and he may be at risk for mental retardation.
Avatar f tn Is anyone else pregnant and and suffering from a mental illness. I'm having such a hard time dealing with this, on top of the hormones. I haven't been on meds, and refuse to take any for obvious reasons. How can I take the stress off of the baby?
Avatar f tn Does any Mom on here battle Mental Health problems? I do and a I have been for quite awhile. I had a break down yesterday, and now my whole family has turned against me because I don't want to talk too anyone.. Then of course my mother threatens to put me back in the hospital. I'm 7 weeks and I forgot how many days but how am I even still pregnant with all this stress going on. I don't see my doctor till the 13th.
