[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Yes, absolutely stress can cause premature labor, premature birth, stillbirth or miscarriage. Sorry to worry you even more, OP, but that is well-documented.[/b]

Please talk to your OB about this. Talk to your husband and close friends. Your OB needs to monitor you frequently, particularly blood pressure-wise. Your family needs to lift the burden off you in whichever way they can, even if they don't get it, they HAVE to listen and do their utmost to help you. Insist. If you need medication, make sure it's safe to take during pregnancy.

I've asked about this and the advice I have heard is basically that the level of stress you would need to cause any of these outcomes (and even then, only potentially) is EXTREMELY high. Like you'd have to be a sex-trafficking victim being beaten and starved in war-torn Syria to be really concerned about impacts from stress.  My OB has said she has never seen any of these effects in middle class women with access to decent healthcare despite things like spousal or parental death, 90 hr work-weeks, cancer diagnosis, etc. I agree with the rest of your point, but I don't think there is any reason to worry OP.
