stress and the baby

So my brother has mental health issues and is very violent and tries to get in my face. He threatens me and makes me so stressed out and I know its not good for my baby..... Besides having a miscarriage what could happen??? He just started harrassing me causing me to blow up and get the most stressed I've been my whole pregnancey or atleast since I've lived here with my parents.....

some stress is fine......just not all the time......

you can't help but be stressed sometimes during your pregnancy but if I was you, I'd try to separate myself from him and see what happens.....

you will have a colicky (sp?) baby. Your due in a few days. Really not much can happen in that time

Yea they have me on housing to get me out of this situation unfortunatly they said its going to be another month to process the paperwork..... Thats better than the 6 years most have to wait though.

Found this for ya!

A new study shows that women who report high levels of stress and low social support during pregnancy are more likely to have increased immune system activity, which can trigger inflammatory responses and put them at risk for premature labor and preeclampsia.

These inflammatory immune system responses involve increases in two proteins cytokines and C-reactive protein (CRP).

"Stress affects levels of serum cytokines across pregnancy," found University of Denver at Colorado researchers led by Mary Coussons-Read, Ph.D. Similarly, "psychosocial factors can affect levels of CRP in serum in mid- and late pregnancy."

Cool thank you, I was very worried, but I don't think i will go into premature labor considering I'm 39 weeks pregnant...... LOL That's good to know thanx again.
