stress cause miscarriage
Posted: 04-10-08 11:36am

hey guys my names ashley, im 9 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy, the first ended in a miscarriage at 20 weeks...i am currently going through a divorice, im calm now but for the last few days i've been stressed out...my first pregnancy i had morning sickness bad, but this one has only been a little nausea here an there, i saw the heartbeat a little over a week ago perfectly normal baby size yolk sac etc..but i have noticed that this week im not as sick. can you miscarry that quick? no cramping no bleeding....just worried. would there be signs at 9 weeks? can you miscarry from stress? i still have somewhat sore breasts, loss of appetite, but not too much nausea anymore....any help would be appreciated....

I'm sorry to hear about your loss and your divorce! I just was reading an article on miscarriage myths and they said there isn't any evidence stress causes miscarriage it has to do with something being wrong with the baby. I wouldn't worry too much. I am having my 3rd child and I am 10 weeks along, I have not been so sick with this one and I constantly think I'm miscarrying because I had 3 before having my 2nd son. I wouldn't worry too much especially if you aren't bleeding or cramping. My dr told me after they see a sac, embryo and heartbeat your chances of miscarrying are greatly reduced. Hope this helps a little.

thank you that does help. hope this isnt too much tmi but today i woke up and im having a little bit of diarrhea and mild cramping...im not even sure if i would call it cramping, because its not like period cramping, which is the only cramping i have ever experienced other than this. its more like a little tummy ache.... are these signs or have you ever heard of them before. please forgive me for being paranoid...its just hard to have lost a baby before, the thought of going through that again is almost unbareable. thank you again

It sounds like that cramping is a symptom of your diarrhea. I know it is hard, but you need to relax. This pregnancy is going to be 40 long weeks if you worry every second.

You can always call your doctor if you have a concern. He or his nurse will gladly answer any of your questions. That is what they are there for!

Drink lots of fluids if you are having diarrhea.
