i am always gettin upset and freaking out and cant ever stay calm i constantly fight with my husband and i fell very unstable i have a alot of stress will this hurt my unborn child? what can i do to stay calm ?
 
I wouldn't say I have mood swings but it is very easy for someone to say something that urts my feelings and make me think that my world is ending. It's alittle pathetic but you can't help it. And no , your bay will be fine. Just explain to your husband so he can be supportive.
 
i was exactly the same as you are at your time of pregnancy. Im now 31 weeks, and i feel fed up, then happy, fat, then beautiful!! lol. im surprised i still have a husband at this stage as i have been a complete demon throughout the pregnancy!! dont be too hard on yourself, as professionals told me its all perfectly normal. good luck with the duration of your beautiful experience. x
 
Stress can definitely affect your pregnancy, you just need to try extra hard to walk away and take a few breathes. Mood swings are very normal, but fighting and causing you to get yourself upset is not good. Try getting into yoga (preferably the type geared towards preggo women), that should help get you into a state of peace and learn to adapt that to your lifestyle. An try to show extra care to your husband, if he isn't doing anything wrong, he doesn't deserve it.
 
Im so sorry. I am nine weeks and I feel the same way. I cry uncontrolably and cant seem to stay calm about anything. I constantly feel like things are falling down around me when really they are the same as before. I warned my boyfriend last night that he had to look past the person that was about to shine through me. I feel your pain and if you ever need to talk just email me ok?
 
Mood swings come along with being pregnant, don't worry its natural. To find a way to stay at peace try to find something you enjoy doing. for example painting or a hobby of yours that you enjoy. If you try everything and nothing seems to help, talk to your doctor. He or she will be able to help you along with the problem, and will most likely prescribe you a medicine that will just help you to be able to better control your moods.
 
WOW I am going thru the EXACT same thing at 17 weeks and I feel horrible! Its good to know Im not the only one .....it affects everyone in the family and maybe we should get help :(
My fiance just goes for a short drive to let me chill out sometimes ... gd luck!
 
You just have to find what works for you. After two VERY LONG pregnancies my husband has learned if I am in one of my moods to just leave me alone. He will go in the other room and take my son, usually that little bit of a break, I can get my nerves under control. You just have to learn to bite your tongue and know the hormones are making you crazy. Imagine how your hubby feels, just dealing with your crazy. I feel bad for mine. So I just turn my attention to something else trying to take my mind off the crazy.
 
This will not hurt your baby, and is completely normal. If you feel you are getting out of control and over emotional and it is out of the normal for you, just walk away from the situation. Try to relax and take a few breaths before dealing with it again.
 
My husband doesn't like it very much, but this is the way that I deal with it. If my frustration mounts to a point that I seem like I can't control it I go alone in the bedroom and sob till my heart is content. Then I wipe my eyes and blow my nose, and I am completely fine for the rest of the day! :-D Another thing that works is a warm bath or sitting down and drinking a warm cup of peppermint tea. :-)
