Can so much stress cause harm to the baby at the end of the pregnancy? I'm 37 weeks and going through a break up after 4 years its my first night away from him and I an just so heartbroken I feel like a bad mother for not being strong for her but I'm so hurt=\ I don't want anything to happen to her.

I've always heard that stressed mothers make stressed and grumpy babies, and happy mothers make happy babies. Idk if its true though I think a lot probably has to do with the environment they are born and raised in because with my first I was stressed put all the time with my exhusband and things calmed down a lot after the baby got here and divorce was finalized and he is a healthy happy bratty two year old lol. My second I was basically homeless almost my entire pregnancy and finally met an amazing man who loved me and my son so he was born into a happier environment and he's the best little 1 yr I've ever met except already going through terrible twos lol

I asked my OB about being under stress he said it doesn't have as much of an effect as people think....im 6a months and have been stressed the entire time. And im sorry to say this but a.guy doesn't just "figure out" he doesn't wanna.be with someone he has been.with and she's 9 months along....I feel your pain hun
My ex is seeing someone else...pretty sure she ia living with him.now too. We have been broken up for about 2 months. I just think what kinda woman would wanna date someone like that....tho you know he is lying....if he is dating someone else then he is def not telling her the truth. I know it hurts. There have been.many nights I have cried myself to sleep but I also have to say at least I know what me and my child really mean to him. He has proven what kind of person and parent he is going.to be. Just like your ex is. Count yourself lucky...it doesn't feel that way now but you will one day. Its been over 2and months and im just now really starting to feel at peace with everything. You can do this! If he wants to step up he will. You can't do it for him. Sounds like the only person he is worried about and wants to please and take care of is himself....so let him.have at it and see how lonely his life is.

Ehh I've been stressed in one way or another this entire pregnancy, and the baby seems just fine. Try to relax however you can, just don't stress about being stressed, the baby will be alright. :)

I believe stress does affect you and your unborn baby but not in a bad way. Baby can come out alil irritated. When you can practice some relaxation, when you feel like crying go out somewere go for a walk at the park talk to your family so you wont feel lonley and sad. And its not a bad idea putting your last name to your baby. Im doing the samething to my child he is having my last name.

I agree, don't give her his last name, give her your own or you'll regret it, better safe than sorry!!!

And the worst part is I believe he is seeing someone else already-_- if that poor girl only knew he abandoned me after so long.

No it's not. It's wrong for a man to abandon a woman after 4 years while she is 9 months pregnant with his child.

They will I have family and my beautiful daughter will be arriving shortly and I know once I see that little face I will be so in love with her because I already love her so much, I would rather be doing it alone I guess because now she is out of a bad situation with ne and her father and she will be able to see ne happy rather than sad she needs to know a man ought to treat a woman with the highest respect and he didnt, he no longer wanted to be with me but he will have plenty of regrets coming shortly and he will wish he never bailed once his name is not in that birth certificate. Is it wrong of me to give her my last name?

Honestly, it's better to get it out before the babies here so you can be strong for her, however, stress isn't the best for a baby as it can put you into labor! My mom always told me "calm mothers make calm babies" haha, so sorry you're going through this pregnant, when you're emotions are already a roller coaster! I hope things get better for you!
