[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get it. How could anxiety - something in your brain - affect your baby ensconced in your uterus ?

People today are exposed to 10000% less stress than most humans were for hundreds of thousands of years. In addition, the human fetus is designed to withstand the slings and arrows of mother’s fortune.

Of course, anxiety and depression is somewhat genetic so you need to keep an eye on your child’s innate temperament and make sure you are modeling healthy coping mechanisms. [/quote]

Thanks for this.  I appreciate your response. And I do know its a complicated matter.

Side note: To anyone who reads this and are eager to explain how stress does in fact affect the baby, I'd appreciate if you didnt. I've read enough about it and am well aware of the studies and increase in risk. I am not turning a blind eye, but i created this space to try to hear some positive thoughts since I cant change the fact I already stressed out for a good 15 week! Please spare me from the added worry.

Thank you![/quote]
