A member asked:

Got upset after family member said something.it really affected me n i cried for 2 hours.im pregnant n emotional.but now im worried i hurt my baby? :(

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Crying will not hurt: Crying for 2 hours will not hurt your baby. Pregnancy is hard, and sometimes family can make trails of pregnancy even harder. But don't worry crying will never effect your baby. Just stay away from the people who would give you stress during this time.
