Don't worry about your baby. We've just been studying this at uni, and extreme stress can sometimes affect a baby in the third trimester. But not with too serious results.
Your baby is nice and snug in there and very protected. Your baby won't have felt the stress you have been feeling.
OMG people can be so cruel sometimes, she is just jealous of you.. I would do what the other girls have said and block her and any contact from the nasty piece of work that she is.. I had an emotional time a few months before i had ds and everything was fine, just remember to look after yourself as she is not worth getting upset about and you are going to have a beautiful baby soon and she wont..
I have blocked her and made sure everything is private on all settings. It is sad that people can be cruel and want to intentionally upset a pregnant woman but as you said Abb, it is probably jealousy.
SJ and Mistree- thanks for your tips on how to get rid of her on FB. Very helpful so thanks again.
Nai- I will speak to my midwife about hypnobirth. It sounds like I would benefit from that.
Gabi- Thanks for the info on what you have beeen studying at uni. It is good to know that tests have been done on this and that baby wouldn't have been effected too much.
You girls have just been wonderful. Thankyou again for your support. And big :hugs: to all of you.
Don't worry about your stress level. The kind of stress level that could affect a pregnancy is from something like the death of a close relative or a major illness during the pregnancy, not everyday kind of stress.
I had heaps of everyday stress during my pregnancy (like work stress, stress over having to have an amnio due to a 1/37 chance of DS, stress because of a scan that showed abnormal blood flow, general stress over lack of symptoms, stressing about my age & giving birth etc etc) and none of it ever affected the pregnancy.
Someone at my mothers group told me that oldwives tale about being stressed during pregnancy causes an unsettled baby. I laughed. My baby has been as settled as can be but I have been very calm since giving birth so I think that's what counts.
