A member asked:

Can a stress, anger, walking quick cause miscarriage at 19-20 week of pregnancy? if no then what harm it will cause to baby

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Stress and anger do not usually cause a miscarriage. Neither does walking quickly. Pregnancy does not occur in a vacuum and the mom must deal with stress and anger in her daily life. No harm usually comes to the baby when these episodes are brief and not sustained.
