What kind of negative effect can stress have on the baby im 15w and extremely stressed. I had gotten a dui before i found out i was preg. I will be losing my license which is my everything. I.don't have much family around i have a 6 yr old that has to be taken and picked up everyday from school I'm also bipolar so all my doc appts.are extremely necessary at this point i don't have anyone to drive me around to do these things i also found out that i will be having to do jail time for this which is more added stress. It's gotten to the point where I've been having panic attacks chest pains i just don't know what too do to relieve any of this stress

I was on lithium before i got pregnant and stopped taking it then had.a.complete manic episode hence the dui. The doctors told me to stay on the seroquel because of that but its just not enough. I don't want to harm my baby in anyway the stress is just getting unbearable. The fines the classes jail no license its taking a toll on me

I think yoh should talk to your doctor I'm bipolar as well but not on any medications, I got off them before I was pregnant they caused me more harm than good but maybe they could give you something safe to take during pregnancy, atleast something for the panic attacks. I know its a tough time, not a good time for all thi to be happening just stay strong and stay positive for your little ones xx
