A member asked:
Is it possible to go into labor with too much stress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Growing literature shows that women from many different socioeconomic & cultural groups, who have high levels of psychosocial stress during pregnancy, are at significantly increased risk for shortened gestation and preterm delivery. Please don't worry about being worried -- but do take care of yourself and attend to any sources of life stress http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pmc/articles/pmc3179976/.
