A member asked:
I am 38 weeks pregnant and have been very emotional recently. i also am easy to upset and have gotten into fights with my partner where i overreacted and yelled and cried. will this affect the baby at this point in my pregnancy? is this normal now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no. Stress by itself does seem to accelerate babies maturity some and can reduce their birthweight. The effect is marginal at this point. You need to focus on stress management since having a new baby around will add additional work/stress/lack of sleep/etc. people seem to get past it.
