advice on stress in pregnancy please?
Got a call at 4 this morning and my mum has been taken into intensive care with pneumonia!! she's on a ventilator and it's critical! Obviously i'm worried sick! (
Problem is i'm worried about the baby too, as surely all this pressure isn't good for my pregnancy! I need to try and relax as i can feel myself getting more and more worked up! The more i worry about being worked up..the more worked up i get!
Does anyone have an idea how can relax and calm down....I know this might sound like such a silly question as its an unusual situation but i just cant relax!!!! ?
Also has anyone been pregnant and had something like this to deal with? I really think it will help me to know if people have coped with stress like this without upsetting their pregnancy!!!!
sorry for the bummer message guys!!!

That was a very stressful time and has had no influence on my pregnancy at all. The best thing to do is take a long warm bath and try to carry on with life as you normally would. Stress isn't good for you at the best of times but when I spoke to my doc she said it should make no difference to my pregnancy.
I hope this helps xx
Thanks caroline, I hope your dads ok now? I felt sick as a dog this morning on the way to the hospital, suppose it was just a mixture of waking up with a shock and worry! I'm glad to hear your pregnancy was unaffected by the stress!
I'm terrible, I would worry about having nothing to worry about!! think i will take that bath!! x
LOs are tougher than we believe, i have had some pretty bad shit going on during 2 of my pregnancies and one is now 6 and the other was fine at my 9 wk scan.
Hope you feel ok, take care and keep us posted, love lee x
Really appreciate you all getting back to me, don't know if its the hormones but coming over all emotional! Take care ladies
