  • i'm afraid that pregnancy in itself is very stressful, and unfortunately theres not really much u can do to eleviate it. try not to let urself get too wound up, if u feel ur heart rate start to increase (like i do when angry lol) then just take deep slow breath, in thru ur nos out thru ur mouth. make sure u get a good 5 minute 'me time' break everytday, just give urself chance to relax and unwind. but please don't worry about worrying lol. unfortunately the only way for baby to be stress free is if ur stress free. i know this is of no help at all lol, but if ur stressing then there is nothing u can do about subconcious stress on the baby.
