Stressed during pregnancy? Your baby might feel long term effects

Research suggests a woman’s stress level at the moment she becomes pregnant is linked to how her child will respond to stress a decade later.

And this is exactly why im not forgiving anyone, who stressed me out during this pregnancy and mistreatet me.

[nesminra]

I realized how lonely pregnancy can be. And it hurts more when your partner doesn't see your pain. No one should feel lonely during pregnancy 😭😭😭

[ThanhPham-icbw]

watching this just increasing my stress. its easily say for mum to be mindful, but its hard when you don't have a supportive enviroment.

The next pregnancy will be a secret. I swear people stress you out more when they find out you're pregnant.

[leenaparsons]

Great. Now I'm more stressed out.

Nothing hurts worse than suffering in silence. I attempted to explain to my partner how his actions effected me & I was missing affection, love & felt as tho im going thru this alone. I feel so disconnected. It’s my birthday today & instead of enjoying myself I decided to find a way to heal

[OhHyeJinandherson]

Easy to say don’t stress dont be depressed
Try being alone with the whole pregnancy
Without the baby father
Try that
After 5 years of relationship
Getting dumped soon as he find out u pregnant with his baby .
And then say do not stress yeah right

I truly believe this. I was going through an extremely abusive marriage and I see the effects of it through my son and daughter.

I was super stressed but yet my child is always happy. This pregnancy has been a nightmare with depression.

[timatim]

My husband has made me so sad and stressed during my pregnancy. I feel bad for my unborn child. I feel soo bad and guilty

[Mro]

Way to make women feel more stressed thanks

[valarmorghulis]

A great way of stressing women, by telling them not to feel stressed. Especially during a life changeing, dangerous process.

My husband does not care when I am in distress. He's made me cry a lot. He's not a bad person, he just has no compassion towards me.

[milagrog]

I wanted to die my whole pregnancy. I even attempted suicide. It's was terrible my friend killed himself when I found out I was pregnant. 4 months later my uncle overdosed. My partner emotionally and mentally abused me. My son is so angry and doesn't want anyone comforting him. That's how I felt while I was pregnant

[JuanBalseros]

Yes, my mother experienced high levels of stress during pregnancy. My father unfortunately died when my mom was 4 months pregnant and it caused her deep sadness and depression.

Now, as a 24 year old man, I can see the effects of trauma before birth. It is hard for me to relate to others, I’m deeply emotional and shy.

It is hard for me to express my feelings and hard to be in a state of happiness. Also, I barely have friends since I don’t relate to others, never had a girlfriend since I never tried to have one.


However, I don’t think my critical abilities were affected since I graduated as an engineer one year ago and was very attentive to my studies since I was a kid.


I always wonder how different my life could have been if that event before my birth did not occur. 😢

If someone is reading this comment and you have a child, please be proactive in introducing him to social activities and events: swimming, dancing, sports. Specially at a young age, I truly believe if you are proactive and bring your child constantly to this type of activities he can improve.

I think for me it is too late but please check on your kids. I just don’t want another kid to suffer like I have suffered 😢

[aprilchow-chee]

A cheating lying abusive partner that stressed me out during my pregnancy. Please pray for me and my baby I can feel baby coming down in my pelvis and might come don't know what chance of survival baby will have because I'm not even in my 3rd trimester as yet.

[mariamambye]

[radiadidi]
