Crying : Crying does not hurt your baby. Being in an unstable relationship can cause problems for the child after delivery. Maybe you two should see a couples counselor to work on your issues so that you can be the best parents possible.

Concern: This should not increase the risk of birth defects but since the highest rate of violence against women occurs during pregnancy I am concerned. It will also effect the baby emotionally to be born into a family with constant fighting. I suggest that you and if possible your boyfriend also get some counseling to try to resolve the issues. Good luck to you all

No: This will not hurt your baby, but you need to resolve things with your boyfriend
