    I had many moments of being very stressed throughout my pregnancy.

    And work used to make my stomach muscles ache like crazy, its due to them stretching and seperating when you start to get bigger. I often felt like i had done 1000 sit ups thats how sore they wore.

    If you're worried at all, or have any abnormal cramping/bleeding then go see your doctor but i don't think you would have done any serious damage. But try and take it easy.

    i remember being so worried when i was pregnant.

    You are doing wonderfully.

    Hi there,
    I just wanted to let you know you are doing fine. Babies are resilient and strong as are we. Whatever emotions you are experiencing are essential to be expressed for both your health and your babies. We give ourselves such a hard time and expect ourselves to be perfect all of the time. Mothers rarely acknowledge how bloody emotionally intense being pregnant is. I have cried most days of my pregnancy for all sorts of reasons and for no reason at all. I too have worried I have damaged my baby. Perhaps my baby is also scared about coming into the world- we really have no idea where they come from and we are certainly in this together. I am consoled by an excerpt from the book 'birthing from within' 'sometimes we cry for our babies because they cant cry yet, sometimes we laugh for our babies, all safe and happy in there'. Good luck with everything. x
