@parnellj83 Just saying, I've been under a HUGE amount of stress during this pregnancy. Had a messy, 2 year court case against my eldest son's dad for custody end jut a few days ago (I'm nearly 38 weeks now), we were told a few months back we need to move out as our landlords need to sell our home and the end of our eviction notice is about a week after the baby will be born, so we've also had financial issues as all the money we had saved for having a new baby is having to go on deposits for houses, but there's no houses available due to covid and the ones that do come up on the market either get taken before we can even view them, or you're going up against 10 other people to get the place. So my partner and I have had quite a strained relationship due to all the stress, which is understandable. Our youngest is also currently going through referrals as he might be on the spectrum too.
So we've had stress on top of stress that's been really, really difficult at times, that I wouldn't wish on anyone, but I am still carrying a happy, healthy baby who is always breakdancing, who's not had any problems or issues throughout, and I'm going to be having him a week on Wednesday (I have to have sections due to medical reasons but that's nothing to do with the stress lol).
So, yes, try relax as much as possible for your own sanity, but unless you're really in a position where your life is in danger or something like that, you don't need to stress that your stress will harm your baby. Sending love to all the other pregnant folks out there. Remember, whatever you're going through is temporary and you've already survived all the other stressful stuff in your life thus far.
