I just found out that I am pregnant, and I got into a huge argument today with my in-laws (who are staying with us as they visit from another state) that made me lose my temper and start screaming. I finally walked away from the situation because I did not want them to have that type of effect on me, but since then, I have been having light cramping ( I was not cramping before the argument). Now I am afraid that I may have done something harmful during a VERY sensitive time. My questions are, 1) Has anyone ever experienced this light cramping during their first few weeks of pregnancy? and 2) What are the effects of stress and anger during the first trimester of pregnancy?

Other details:
I have only been pregnant one other time (5 yrs ago) and I had a daughter. And (for those of you who are curious) my husband and I were angry at them because they were not happy for us when we told them that we are having another child.
 
im 13 weeks pregnant and i cramp all the time.. doctors say its normal but they also say stress is very harmful so you might just relax for a little while
 
please stay cool.its my humble request.iv lost my baby thrice! you know y? nly coz of stress.
ofcourse its tought to tackle in-laws.jus dont mind abt them.are thy going to worry if ur going to bare a loss? they r the one to enjoy ur loss,and nt concole u.please dont get stressed.my in-laws were trying to take my husband away from me,that ws the cause for my all 3 miscarrige.are u going to take their words? or ur hubby is against u ? ur answer is no for both of my question. jus let they (in-laws) keep doing what they want.dont mind abt them.keep thinking positive.thing abt ur baby in u.
every thing will be ok.crampings do happen at the begining of pregnancy.dont take any problems to ur mind and heart jus for 10 months let ur hubby manage it.if any one is againgt u dont talk back.jus quit from thr presence.
wish u all the best.keep ur mind peacefull.take care
 
How rude for them to a) be unhappy that your pregnant and b) to watch you yell and get angry whilst pregnant!!

Im so sorry i know how you just cant stop sometimes...

i really hope your ok... light cramping is normal...do you know how far along you are??

cramping is very normal in early and even all i think pregnancy. so try not to worry best thing you can do is from now just STOP doing everything stressful. relax maybe just take a day of bedrest.... be causeous of any bleeding..but you should be fine.

be careful not to get into any more fights they clearly arnt worth loosing your baby over.

good luck sweetie

I had some of the worst cramps in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Cramping in early pregnancy is very normal as long as there is no bleeding with it.

As for the stress, some doctors will say that stress can harm the pregnancy while other doctors will tell you that new studies show that stress can't harm the pregnancy. Some newer studies are showing that even severe stress doesn't increase chances of miscarriage or pre-term labor but there are still a lot of debates on the subject.

If the cramping gets really bad, call your doctor but if it is just mild cramping from the stretching of the uterus, I would suggest you relax, try to take a warm bath or just find some way to get rid of all of the stress and see if you can feel better.
 
I think the worst it could do is raise your blood pressure slightly. Rises and falls in blood pressure from time to time are normal anyway so it is doubtful it would do your baby or yourself any harm. The cramping is probably unrelated to the argument. I got cramps frequently in my first trimester and it has never turned out to be an issue for me. Don't stress it!
 
It not good for you or the baby. Did you know that babies can remember what goes on outside the womb? Most kids suppress those memories. I went to a hypnosis lady and she did that whole procedure on me where they put you in a sleep like trance. (Its not how you see it on tv. They put you in a sort of twilight sleep. Its were your partially asleep but you are aware of whats going on around you and you can wake up at any time) After about a month of this I vaguely remembered sharp pains and screaming. I had never been abused before so it surprised my parents and doctor. I was more shaken up by it because for some reason I knew this feeling I had. I was adopted so I was given permission to write a letter to my mother concerning what I felt. It turned out that her bf, my father was very abusive and would always hit her when he got upset and they would always fight. The hypnosis lady resurfaced those memories that I had locked away. There have been other studies like the one that was preformed on me.
