How much harm can you do to an unborn child with ridiculous amount of stress just about little things? What should the pregnant woman suppose to do if husband is just contributing to it even though he is thousands of miles away?
Re: Stress and pregnancy!
Easier said than done but really try to relax. Baby can feel everything. Pray, read Quran, take walks if you can, talk to friends, just do stuff to relax.
Re: Stress and pregnancy!
Make your husband realise stress is bad for the baby. It sounds stupid, but a lot of men know nothing about pregnancy or what should and shouldn’t be done! If he’s the academic type, search on the web for articles related to stress and the negative effects it can have on your baby to show him. If he’s the religious type you could go down the ‘women are like glass’ route + ‘paradise lies under the feet of your mothers’ and tell him to treat you with extra care due to your situation. If he’s easily influenced by authority, talk to your GP about the effects of stress and inform him what you’ve been told. The important thing is to get him to empathise with your situation, so that he doesn’t contribute to your stress; rather he tries to shield you from it.
Re: Stress and pregnancy!
Husband will definitely contribute to it more when he is.thousands of miles away. Having him not around is a stress itself. He cant see you so you shouldnt expect from him to have mercy on u or the baby so help urself. Avoid all.that can cause you stress and if .he still cant learn tell.your self he cant do any better and just leave him alone. No.one.has right to play with the life and health of an unborn baby.
Re: Stress and pregnancy!
How is he contributing to the stress? Is he making demands that you cannot/will not follow? Is he rehashing past mistakes that you made? Is it all entirely his doing, or are you partly to blame for creating the stress as well? For instance, are you provoking him with certain comments or topics that you know are a can of worms or are you perhaps responding in a way that fuels instead of diffuses? As others above have suggested, let your husband know that stress is not healthy for the baby and that if he cannot try to be more careful, then you’ll just not respond to distressing topics.
Recite the Quran as much as you can, especially recite durood. Durood is said to be very cooling. Recite various cooling names of Allah. You can blow upon water after reciting and then drink it…and it can have a positive effect on the baby as well. You can do a search as to what surahs, types of zikr are recommended for pregnant woman and babies. You can even listen to a recording of the Quran…that may be beneficial for the baby as well. I do not have any kids and I’ve never researched this, but I’ve always been curious about tue effects zikr/Quran have on a baby’s development. I feel like maybe it’s something that pregnant women and maybe people in general avoid…we don’t do as much zikr as we should. There’s a scholar who said if you’re stressed, it’s a sign you’re not doing enough zikr. In the Quran, the word zikr or zikran is often followed by the words kaseera…which means kasrat se zikar karo. Many of us, both men and women, don’t do this. It’s something for all of us to think about,
Re: Stress and pregnancy!
I don’t want t scare you but just sharing my personal experience. I had tremendous amount of stress when I was pregnant , my ex and his family made my life worse than hell.
I was so depressed all the time , i didn’t paid much attention on eating when i was at work and at home his yelling and mistreatments made me loose my appetite. so this what i believe happened my body became very weak and i got two viral diseases at once so in 7th month i had my baby. life became even more hard after that .
so what i am trying to say in sab ko bhar main dalo , concentrate on yourself and your baby , eat well , sleep well , don’t think about issues too much because jo hona hai woh to hoga and stress will not make wrong things right. If God Forbid because of stress something undesirable happens you and only you will have to deal with it.
