Work has been really hectic and theres some family tension at home too, so im stressed almost all the time these days. Cant stop worrying if all this stress is harming the baby. Im in my first trimester. Has anyone gone through a stressful pregnancy and been ok?
I went through a loss and I blamed my stress for the longest time, but my doctor gently told me everyday stress doesnt cause it, it's usually other reasons. Please dont carry that guilt. Take care of your mind, but know it was not your fault.
First, it's okay to feel worried, I was anxious my whole pregnancy. Normal day to day stress isnt going to cause a miscarriage, that fear made it worse for me honestly. Be gentle with yourself and talk to your doctor if the anxiety feels heavy.
From what my gynac explained, ordinary stress doesnt cause miscarriage, though chronic high stress isnt good for overall health. So manage it for your own wellbeing, not from fear. And anything worrying, just ask your doctor directly.
