bad scare, bad for baby?

Hi ladies, maybe you are going to think Im totally paranoid on this one but Im concerned.  My husband works late at night and usually gets home around 3 in the morning but still wasnt home by six!!!  That was highly abnormal for him and I tried calling his cel but he never answered.  Anyway, I was seriously freaking out...like really, really bad...because I knew something was wrong especially because he just isnt like that.  Anyway, it turned out he was really sick and pulled off the road becuase he thought he was going to pass out.  He tried to call me several times also but the service was down and neither one of us could get through.  It really stressed me out and Ive been worrying that such a bad scare wasnt good for the baby.  Im 10 weeks and not having any cramping or bleeding and have another scan in a week but am still concerned.  Has anyone been through a really bad scare while pregnant and been ok??  I guess Im worried because I always heard its not good for a pregnant woman to be under stress and I know I was stressed out to the max!  Thanks for reading and Id appreciate your comments.

I have been through several different kinds of things in my past pregnancies as well as with this one.  I would not be too concerned, as long as you are not cramping and bleeding.  Things are going to happen beyond our control and that is part of life, those little angels we carry are a lot stronger than we realize.  Just take it easy now that you know everything is ok and quit stressing over stressing, if you understand what I am saying.  Good luck to you.

I'm sorry you were so stressed out like that. Yes it's true that it's not good for you or the baby, but I'm sure everything if fine. The previous poster is right, they can handle a lot of different things.
With my last baby I found out that he had spina bifida and we were crushed. The Dr.s  told us that we should start planning his funeral  and that I should teminate the pregnancy, etc etc. I cried for days strait. I didn't think I would be able to stand the sadness. I was under more stress than normal throughout the rest of the pregnancy and that didn't cause any harm to my son.(Though I did go into premature labor at 7 months, but they didn't think that was due to the stress.) So it's very true that the baby can handle a lot. Just try and relax and I'm sure everything will be fine.
Congrats on your pregnacy by the way! :)
How is your husband?

I hope your hubby is alright.  As far as scares, it happens to many of us.  I even had surgery during my pregnancy and the baby is doing great for the most part (I'm  21 weeks tomorrow).  I think you'll be okay, try to take it easy and not get too stressed out.

When I was about 6 weeks pregnant we found out our dog had cancer and only had a short time to live.  He was everything to us, (like a child) then he passed away when I was about 12 weeks.  I was crying for days and all turned out to be ok with the baby.  I agree with the prev posters, stress isn't very good for the baby but I'm sure everything is ok.  :)

you can't go back and undo it so It really doesn't matter

I am a stress bleeder - if I stress I bleed then I stress more cause I am bleeding - it was vicous last pregnancy but I learned to control it this time

best of luck
