Im 16 weeks pregnant. My stress is at an all time now between work, school, family issues and trying to make sure my baby's okay. I just need some stress relief techniques i've tried walking, talking to friends but none of its working it just leads to me feeling depressed for some time. Mind you i've picked up on my bad habit of smoking cigarettes but not a whole cig or not that often but it makes me feel like crap so I need something else beside the just breathe technique.

I wouldn't worry. I've been diagnosed with the same thing. I've had headaches constantly for the last 7 years or so (everyday). I've seen a doctor and he has put me on Inderal.

Pins and needles is something I've never experienced but if your doctor isn't worried, don't stress.
When my own son was going through these years, it was recommended to me to engage him in physical activities just because the physical exertion helps even out the hormones in his body for a brief time and therefore helps him find some relief from the pent-up emotions that the increased testosterone levels can cause. Not a bad idea.
While I cannot recommend books or websites, I can recommend picking your battles carefully for the next few years so as to keep the communications open.

I feel your pain on not telling family members. I used to have a hard time telling my Dad because hes a Catholic, Id cook a huge steak dinner each time. But Id feel better afterward.

Gastro says my stress is in my intestines and i c can feel pain quicker than most. I can feel my entire intestinal trace moving and spasing. At times it would put my in the fetal position it was dibilitaeing. this is my idea of what happens.. after eating approx 20 mins i can feel it goe from my stomach into the intestine where something immediately goes wrong. spasms and gas buildup causes pressure on something causing my legs to go numb and painful alternating.
