Can someone give me hope that just because I've been a wreck this pregnancy that this baby won't be hard wired for stress and more difficult?
I'm sorry to hear all that, how is your Dad doing is he stable?Quote:

If you're baby gets any of that, then they might be a hostage negotiator, or something else that requires being calm under pressure :)
My dad is stable, and i told him that only he would think a heart attack was a good idea the week before christmas (joking obviously since nobody can control that by any means)
I dont know that i handled anything like a trooper though, i swear ive got an eye twitch this morning...LOL
All of my pregnancies havent been 'fun' or 'nice per se but this one has been a real doozie...supposedly there is an old wives tale that hard pregnancy = easy baby..lets hope thats true.
Just seeing that you still have your sense of humour, tells me that you're handling it amazingly !Quote:

My youngest is such a happy wee boy and he brings joy to everyone life, so as of yet I see no lasting implications of that very stressful period! X o
Your baby will be fine Burakoam, I cant see how it would be possiblee to pass feelings on to them while they are inside, as long as you keep your appitite she will continue to grow and be heatlthy.
Sorry Burakoam :( Stress is only a problem when it is prolonged and constant in pregnancy and while you have been under a lot of stress it has been lots of seperate events so you have also had times when you have been ok. I'm sure bubs will be just fine :)
My last pregnancy was hard and DS2 was a pretty chilled out baby. First pregnancy was fairly easy and DS1 was a more difficult baby ( although part of that was because I was a stressed out FTM). I think this pregnancy has been a bit easier physically but more stressful than the others so I'm not sure what to expect :)
Starting to get uncomfortable. 30 weeks now, getting hard to roll over in bed, stitch like pain sometimes with the stretching, itchy skin on belly and boobs. Ive put on 20kgs, ive never been this big in my life!

I find walking hard atm and constantly out of breathe it's annoying lols. Apart from that travelling pretty good I've still gotta make a list of girls names because I haven't even thought about it, I must still be in denial thinking I'm finally having my dream gender haha
