First, congratulations! Everyone has disagreements and may even argue, that's guaranteed in any relationship and especially a marriage- it's not always roses and peaches and cream (I'm married as well). If you two have always argued back and forth and exchanged blows (words) to one another, then hopefully that will change. I've noticed how we do not get into the silly little arguments anymore, because we are both thinking of the baby. If I know I'm about to get upset, I will go for a drive and listen to music to calm myself. Sometimes you have to separate yourself from the situation to gain composure. Whatever it is that helps you relax, whether it is music, reading, driving, taking a bath, do that whenever you feel things are going to explode. Find some peace, let your heart stop racing, rub your stomach and let your baby know everything is okay, then once you two have calmed down then continue the conversation (if need be). I am not completely positive just how dangerous stress can be on your baby, but I know I (we) do everything I can to keep him calm and make him feel safe. I don't like it when my heart race because I don't know if that causes him to distress? For me, my son moves more whenever something isn't right with me and will stop once I'm okay. Just remember your child, try that trick, and hopefully it will soon click to your husband. Marriage is a beautiful thing, but it's not easy and does take work. Good luck and best wishes!

Sorry to hear this. I don't think it could physically harm your baby, but it's definitely not good for you or baby.

The stress can cause problems. You guys need to sit n not have a heated argument but a conversation. And that means allot of biting you're Touge, but its all in best interest for the baby

It really can hurt your baby to be in such a stressful environment. I definitely say find s balance so you can be satisfied let him yell at if  he needs to even your allowed to be angry  especially w/ your hormones .bur ultimately you two have to agree that you don't want to miscarry due to stress and such. If its as bad as you say you may just have to turn off your switch when in that heated argument because someone has to think of the baby!  Good luck to you and take it easy it's to early to always be worked up.
