Early labor.: The baby is safe and well-insulated, and you are close to term. I do believe that the neurotransmitters we release when stressed can affect a fetus and baby's personality and anxiety level perhaps. But at this point, mainly, if you become very upset it may induce labor. Since you are term, that would be okay. Take care of yourself.
