Idk. I believe they do because whenever im upset or me and my bf fight, she kicks a lot.
If your talking about them feeling the stress that your under yes. There have been studys that baby's can feel your stress while preg. But ita not going to affect them when they are born it could have some bad affects on your pregnancy from what I understand but I'm sure if you talked to your doc he or she could clarify this for u
Do you mean pregnant or after birth? When pregnant with my first, my mom always tried to tell me my son would come out very scared bc of all the screaming and yelling I would do at my ******* ex. But my kid is ffffaaarrrrr from skiddish. Hell, even now at 2 years old, if im arguing in front of him he just ignores it and continues playing unless someone gets in my face. Then he gets very quiet, but only cries if someone puts their hand up and he thinks they're gonna hit me.
But I have heard that as a baby, they can sense what you feel. Like if you're scared, they'll feel scared. That I think is true but more or less id say bc if you're scared you're more than likely holding your baby and doing whatever and all they know is theres a lot of movement and mommas bustlin about.
Thats what i was always told but idk, im i think so. Sorry i cant help much.
