I know this isn't something many people like to talk about but I need to write just to share. Lately DH and I have been having relationship stress due to his short temper and lack of understanding. I am <STRONG>20 weeks</STRONG> along with our first child and we were both so excited at first! It seems now if I am having somekind of pregnancy pain....in my back, sore muscles or indigestion, he comes up with something wrong with <STRONG>him</STRONG> instead of listening to me. We were getting ready for a wedding yesterday and he began to get upset with the time we had left ourselves to prepare. He began blaming me for running late and when he needed my help I did not want to be in the same room while he was yelling! He has been trying a <STRONG>new medication</STRONG> to calm him down and the doctor said this may take 2-3 weeks to notice a change. Anyhow, on our way to the wedding I felt pressure and pain in my abdomen....we pulled the car over so I could stretch and the pain subsided. I'm worried the stress of our relationship will take a toll on our unborn baby? Does anyone know or have heard of effects of stress on pregnancy? <P>Any advice is appreciated....I have been coping but worried how my DH will cope once the baby is here....Thanks in advance!</P><P>Icegirl - Due Feb.3/07 </P><P>Sorry, I also posted this in "All about Mom" before I realized this is the more appropriate section!Sun, 17 Sep 2006 11:15:23 GMTicegirl
