yelling & fighting

[tisa1029]

also can yelling and verbally fighting be harmful if pregnant. It is so hard to talk to an alcoholic, they do not listen so after asking and telling one in a normal voice so many times you have to eventually raise your voice.   curious

My mom's a$$hole of a boyfriend n I got into a fight about 2 months back.
And like, I ended up getting REALLY SHARP pains in my lower abdomen.

My fiance and my sister called the ambulance and the cops because they were afraid he was gunna f*ckin hit me next... and if he did that I'd probably end up in jail after the hospital knowing my temper. LOL

The doctor said I was having very very small contractions, but it wasn't anything to worry about, it was just my body being all worked up from the stress and that the baby would be fine, just to take it easy.

And I did.

Now I'm 26w3d and I'm still carrying strong.

Just try not to go over board because you can hurt YOURSELF from too much yelling, not so much the baby.

Stay strong girl.

Well, I can tell you this. I was  young when I had my first set of children ( don't know  how else to state that) and I fought and yelled alot with thier father. It was hard for me but they came out just fine. What I can tell you that was bad for them was staying in a relationship just because he was their father. That was much worse than the yelling and stuff while pregnant.
So, I can fully appreciate your worry about the pregnancy but also t hink if this is something you want to raise your child with because an alcoholic doesn't just get better because a baby is in the picture and niether does the fighting.

I mean no harm only going on what my own experience and my ex was not an alcoholic.

I honestly believe babies can experience stress in your belly.  They have working ears now and can hear loud noises and you may notice your baby jumping in your belly when it hears something loud.  Loud noises can actually startle the baby.  Just remember when the baby does come, try to have your arguments esp. if it involves yelling,  away from the baby so he/she doesnt grow up around it.  Now is the time to start preparing yourself for what is to come.  Good luck with your situation.
