What Happens To Your Baby If You Stress Too Much During Pregnancy? When You’re Stressed, Your Body Creates A Stress Hormone, And While Your Emotions Can’t Pass Into The Placenta, Your Hormones Can. If Your Baby Gets The Stress Hormone Often, He Or She Gets Used To Being Chronically Stressed. Some Studies Show That High Levels Of Stress In Pregnancy May Cause Certain Problems During Childhood, Like Having Trouble Paying Attention Or Being Afraid. It’s Possible That Stress May Also Affect Your Baby’s Brain Development Or Immune System.

14+5 as per timeline / 13+1 for this photo
.
Going to try to rapidly catch up to the timeline I’m using!
.
So this photo was taken on my birthday! And it was the big 3-0 no less! I was still suffering from that general faint un-wellness and having fairly predictable mornings of vomiting, but was determined to enjoy myself. Husband and I went to stay for two nights in a nearby glam city, and we went on a walking tour (it rained constantly, I felt so ill, but stuck it out!), and had dinner at one of my favourite restaurants (I was sort of able to enjoy this!). In between we ventured to John Lewis just to dip our toes in the waters of baby related things – not to buy anything but just to see what was out there…
.
O. M. G. 😱
.
What a bloody minefield! There were SO many options for SO many things!! Cribs bouncers cots toys car seats and so so so so many options for each…we walked out a bit dazed, the photographed brochure in tow…made for nice, if overwhelming, bed time reading 😂 .
I didn’t even know what some of the things WERE! Travel system??? What happened to a bog standard pram??? And breast pumps you can control with an APP??? What is this sorcery?
.
Also yes I felt hungover and threw up the morning after my 30th but obviously underlying reasons were different to the usual ones on such an occasion 😆

I feel like I have been pregnant forever and today is only 8 weeks. The worry began with a suspected ectopic which we thankfully got the all clear from at 5 weeks. This has since been followed by 2 separate episodes of bleeding which has led to 2 more scans. When you hope and pray for so long to become pregnant the worry hits you hard and I doubt it’ll be on it’s way out anytime soon #pregnancy #ttcuk #ttc #8weekspregnant #pregnantuk #earlypregnancy #firsttrimester

14+4 as per timeline I’ve been using / scan dated 11+5 (got my official due date when got this done!)
.
Completely out of sync now but I still think important to reflect on the first USS so just gonna do it now 😊
.
In the (UK based, amazing, wonderful, public healthcare system) NHS, you get a dating ultrasound scan at approx 12 weeks (based on period dates. Trickier if not regular, but I am reasonably regular, and so was confident of dates). They do concurrent blood tests, and take certain measurements, all if you consent of course (which I did), to give you probabilities of most common trisomies (such as that leading to Down’s syndrome). And, of course, you get to actually see the foetus, the little bean you are growing, for the first time!
.
I had worked myself into an anxious state beforehand – what if there’s somehow no baby and I imagined it all? Despite all my symptoms (as husband kept pointing out!)? Worse – what if it’s a missed miscarriage? I.e. heartbeat not there and pregnancy not viable and gonna end naturally at some point (if that happens you get options to speed that process along)??
.
I threw up that AM a few more times than usual, thanks to nerves!
.
But all was absolutely fine. The (lovely) sonographer found the foetus, and its heartbeat, straightaway. Had a wriggly little thing that wouldn’t stay still for the measurements! Got them eventually after a lot of me doing hip wiggling.
.
It was an excellent experience. I may have cried. Husband may have given an unreadable half smile and told me I was doing ‘a good job’. I guess we all express expression in different ways 😂
.
Also, I was quite thrilled by just how BABY like the image was. Not sure what I was expecting 🤣

My anxiety is through the roof. I’m 5+2 today and for the past week and a half, it has been torture going to the loo.
Every time I wipe, I pray there’s no blood. Then when there isn’t I feel relief for a hot second before I wipe again….just to check that there really wasn’t any blood. Because there has to be, right? There’s no way it’ll all work out, is there?
There are no words that can truly describe the fear and anxiety that comes with pregnancy after infertility treatment and prior loss.

Jó reggelt! Tegnap buliban voltunk, és bár természetesen egy korty alkoholt nem iszom, mégis nagy szükségem van erre az egyetlen kávéra, (természetesen az ágyban😉) amit engedélyezek magamnak reggelente.😁☕️ #terhesség #terhességhétrőlhétre #kávé #kismama #earlypregnancy # pregnantobgyn #szülész #szülésznőgyógyász
