Ive been crying a lot lately, mostly
because of stress. Is it bad to cry
everyday? I heard it is, but how can I
stop? Ive been so stressed!

normal or not...I'd honestly like to find

It's not bad at all. Better out than in,
right?. Get those negative emotions out
so you can make room for good ones.
Keeping your feelings inside will only
make you feel worse, which will raise your
stress levels. And that can
be bad. So nope, cry away! Just try to
remember to laugh too.

Ok, because I heard somewhere that crying
is bad. I heard the baby knows when the
mother is sad and when the mother is
stressed and its not good for the baby at
all. So I was just wondering if there was
something for me to do instead of crying
my eyes out everynight.

We don't know what the baby knows. But
you can't just stop being sad, or stop
being depressed. Crying is a release, and
you'll feel better afterward. Crying
deals with the emotions and helps to
release them in a healthy way. It's a
good thing, I promise. Your baby will be
just fine. As long as you're breathing,
you'll be stressed out, and doubly so when
you're pregnant. So just deal as best you
can and don't make yourself feel worse by
feeling guilty for your emotions. Do what
you can and know that it's all you can do.
Right?

There are days where I am perfectly
normal. Its just that I recently moved
out of my parents house and the way im
living now is so stressful. I sit here
everyday alone while my fiance is at work
with nothing to do. But at least I know
crying is ok.
I know this is off the subject, but I need
to know something. Before I even knew I
was pregnant, I took some triple c's
(around 10 of them) to get high and a week
before that I smoked some weed and drank
quite a bit. While I did all that, I was
pregnant and didnt even know it. Is that
going to effect my baby? I took some
blood and they gave me an ultrasound, so
wouldnt they know if everything is ok or
if something is wrong? I really need to
know because thats part of the reason why
ive been stressing. I quit smoking and
drinking right when I found out I was
pregnant also.

If it did, it's done and there's nothing
to do about it now. You stopped when you
found out you were pregnant. That's the
important thing. Stressing about it won't
change a single thing. All you can do is
move forward and hope for the best. I
won't lie to you and say your baby is
perfectly fine, because how do I know?
But chances are, your baby is okay.
It's still pretty early for them to know
for sure if your child has abnormalities.
They might not know until your next
ultrasound. I'm betting things are fine.
Try to hold out until then, okay? And
remember, nothing you do will change
what's been done (if anything) so just
take care of yourself and keep your
thoughts positive.

Im trying to stay positive on things.
But, I just keep thinking about what I did
before I was even pregnant. I was only 2
or 3 weeks pregnant when I was doing it,
is there a chance that could have effected
the baby because it was so early into the
pregnancy? Is there anyone you know thats
ever done drugs or drank alcohol while
they were pregnant and didnt know about
it? Cuz im not shure when my next
ultrasound will be if im already 10 weeks

Is there a chance? Yes. Would it be from
drinking or taking drugs? Maybe. Maybe
it would have happened anyway. Chances
are, you'll never know.
But what are the chances that
something's wrong, since you stopped as
soon as you found out? Very slim.
And what will dwelling over it solve?
Absolutely nothing. You're punishing
yourself over something you can't fix, and
there's no reason for it. The only thing
you could do is to stop the behavior, and
you've done that already.
Your doctor will probably schedule another
ultrasound around 18-22 weeks, depending
on your insurance.

Well I hope I get another ultrasound soon.
Im not really dwelling on it that much,
but I think about it every now and then.
I didnt even know I was pregnant when I
was doing it. I just took a test one day
and it turned out I was pregnant and
regretted everything I ever did in the
past. Because I was afraid it will hurt
the baby. Ill try not to be so stressed
out about it though because it wont change
anything, your right. But thanks very
much for the advice

Yeah it`s really good to cry. That`s a
given. Never hold your emotions inside,
because eventually you'll reach a breaking
point.
Unlike most people, I hold my emotions in.
Why? I don`t know, but it hurts trust
me. =/

Hi every one I read some were that there
are days in a pregnant women that she
maybe sometimes sad and sometimes happy I
just remembered it its called mode swings.
I think its better to cry then to keep it
inside of you then when you keep it inside
of you and there will be a time when it
all gets out and you don’t want anything
to be saved inside of you for a long time.
I thinking crying is a good thing but not
all the time.
Good luck how many months are you?

Sara-everyone has mood
swings not just pregnant women
nicki-of course its fine to cry, but I
think laura already covered all of that
really well, I just wanted to add that
when I had to go to genetic councelor (one
of my blood tests said my baby might hav
had sowns syndrom, turns out she doesnt
thankfully) she said that things you did
in those really early weeks are usualy
(not always) all or nothing, if its gonna
cause a problem it causes a severe problem
(miscarrige)
