If you were going through a particularly stressful time when pregnant, did you notice any impact with your baby (positive or negative)?

Pregnant through lockdown (Sept 2020 baby) and she’s absolutely fine. Tells me to chill out if anything 🙄😂 I was worried too though. My husband kept saying I’d best not be making a stressy baby ☺️

@Joanna thank you for putting my mind at ease! That’s what I’m most worried about but definitely wouldn’t appreciate hearing it from my partner!😂

I had two difficult pregnancies and both are absolutely fine! With my first I had hyperemesis, very severe preeclampsia and then an AKI. I had lots of hospital admissions and could barely keep any food or water down the whole pregnancy. My grandad also died when I was 6 months pregnant. My second pregnancy started with the hospital telling me it was ectopic at 5 weeks and they would give me medication to make it pass. Then that turned into they weren’t sure because of my hormone levels and to go away and come back for a re-scan a week later. That scan then showed I had both an ectopic and healthy pregnancy at the same time! This is quite rare so they didn’t know what to do so they admitted me. I had a week of scans and mri’s before being discharged. Then weekly scans until it had dissolved at 12 weeks. I also had hyperemesis again, cholestasis of pregnancy, preeclampsia and the worry of a premature baby, plus again quite a few hospital admissions….

… I found pregnancy so so stressful both times, however I now have a happy and healthy 2 year old and 8 week old.

I had a very difficult pregnancy. Found out at my 20 week scan something was wrong with one of my twins, following week after a CT scan I found out I had a short cervix so was kept in hospital for 2 weeks then put on bedrest and at 24 weeks we found out one of my sons wasn't going to make it. I lost him at 30 weeks and went into labour the following week with sepsis and with all that stress my surviving son has been absolutely perfect with zero problems at all. Just try and take it easy as best as you can and try to keep your mind busy. And whenever your upset let it out or vent to whoever you can ❤️

@Alex this sounds so stressful, thank you for sharing! Thankfully it’s nothing linked to the pregnancy with me it’s more outside situations but you’ve put my mind at ease x

@Megan this sounds so tough, I hope you’re okay mamma❤️‍🩹 thank you so much x

Pregnancy (during Covid) and my mom was diagnosed with cancer, I was SO heartbroken but we are resilient - my baby is healthy, beautiful, and smart! (And my mom is now cancer free!) ✨ you all will be okay mama, be easy on yourself 🤍🤍

I was under consultant for various reasons so had monthly scan and I also had a lot of stress during my pregnancy my husband was very insecure caused a lot of arguments read diary’s went through phones iPads going back like 5 years of messages ect so lots of arguments. My mother also sadly past away when I was 7 weeks so i was very depressed and so far my LG is 19 months and is a happy girlie from what we can tell she’s come out all good although a terrible sleeper but I can’t see why that would be a consequence of a stressful pregnancy.

It was tough and I still have hard days but it's a lot better now thank you. I hope you're okay ❤️
