Stressed
posted 12th Feb
I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and I seem too be arguing with my boyfriend every single day, it's coming to a point where I feel like I can't cope anymore. 3 solid days, every single day I've been arguing and getting stressed, since then all yesterday I had pains in my Uterus area, I aren't sure if this is normal because my bodies adapting to it or because something bad is going happen.
I'm so scared incase things go wrong with the baby
I feel so alone these days and if I lost my baby I don't know what I'd do, I've got an eating disorder and since I've become pregnant I'm eating loads more because I feel like I've got do it for the baby, it'd set me back if things went wrong

Awe hun, I'm sorry to hear all of that. The pain you are feeling could be just about anything right now. All I can say is to take it easy and try not to argue too much. A new baby brings about many different feelings and emotions. Keep eating a healthy diet.

Been there For me even though we had been TTC since last Jan and have a very solid relationship after getting pregnant I suddenly felt really alone, like my partner could just leave me and I'd be stuck. We went through a week solid of argueing about everything just because the reality of becoming parents was starting to hit us and scared the crap out of us! Chances are your other half is feeling the same as you right now, try and talk to him honestly about how you feel x
p.s I am 13wks and still getting pains and scan showed all is good, its your uterus stretching out and should be completely normal x

Be strong!! Being that stressed is never good for the baby! Take a deep breath and tell your bf that you need him to be strong and give you some slack, for the baby's sake. Have you talked to your dr? You should call ASAP! Just in case. And I don't know what you've been arguing about but remember that there are a lot of hormones and changes involved with growing a human being in your belly. I had some trouble controlling my irritability with my DH when I was pregnant, my dr had to remind him that it's hard on our bodies and that he needed to remember no matter what he was mad about it was better to just let it go to avoid an argument for the baby's sake. (we got in an argument on the way to a drs appointment, when they took my Bp it was really high! Not good for baby or mom!)
Good luck! Be strong!

I walk out the room, he follows.
I put the phone down, he rings back.
Seems like whenever I try stop the argument he wants carry it on.
I've said many of times, soon it will come down too me having to finish things with him because I'm so stressed and can't cope with it all.
I had a dream the other night -
I was covered in blood and it was about having a miscarriage.. Ever since then it's been playing on my mind so much...
I see the Midwife tomorrow for the first time, hopefully she re-assures me about things

i had miscarriage dreams with my son and he is s healthy, happy 4 1/2 month old! you will have strange/crazy dreams. hang in there, it's just your hormones. tell the boyfriend to back off a bit because you don't always mean to be acting that way. if you can't ask your midwife to tell him. oh but if you're anything like me it will be more stressful to hold back the issue so try not to do that either!

The pain your feeling is, most likely, stretching ligaments in your uterus. They're perfectly normal (I remember it scaring the crap out of me during my first pregnancy!)
Your difficulties in your relationship are also perfectly normal: pregnancy is, surprisingly, THE most difficult time for couples; statistics show that the majority of domestic violence occurs during pregnancy. Nothing to say except that if you two can just get through the pregnancy and the first 6 really sleep-deprived months, then your relationship can probably withstand anything!
And lastly, even though stress is not great for the fetus, it doesn't cause miscarriages. If it did, then neither of my children would be here: my ex beat the stuffing out of me through both pregnancies.
You're not alone, doll. Stay strong.

you will be fine i went to the doctor with stress at 12weeks, she said everyone suffers from stress whether at home or at work - its nothing to be scared of - and to think of all the women in the war who had babies. they must have been stressed beyond belief but 95% suffered no problems. stressing about stress makes you feel 100 times worse just take time out for yourself and if the pains carry on just see the doc to put your mind at ease. im now 34 weeks and stress from my job has done me and our baby girl no harm xxxx
