Hello, I am 10 weeks pregnant, and have been quite stressed out and crying almost 2-3 hours everyday because of domestic problems. So I am having one small meal a day for past few days because of stress (even though I felt hungry). Now I am not feeling hungry at all, where as before I felt hungry all the time and ate a lot. I had a miscarriage from my first pregnancy. In that I stopped feeling hungry at the end of my first trimester. Is the baby alright and still alive? Should I worry and consult my OB/GYN asap? Thanks!

Consult your doctor. For one, if your having domestic issues you need to get away from that, the stress is not good for you or your baby. I was in a relationship with my second son and he was verbally and mentally abusive (only while I was pregnant) and my son was born 5 weeks early. I can't say that's why he was born early, but I'm sure the emotional stress contributed a little. I don't know your situations specifics but 'domestic problems' to me only mean one thing.
Two, you NEED to eat more than that. Your baby survives off the food you eat, it gets all its nutrients ect from you. Even if you don't feel hungry, eat snacks, couple carrots or something like that.
good luck, I hope everything works out for you.

Hello all I know you gotta eat for the baby. But what if someone tells you that they are pregant and the will not show you a test when you ask them to and they go to the docs and wont show you anything from there either. The situation is this. She says she is preganat and she has lost so much weight from not eating that her breast got smaller she has been bleeding with cramps and passing brown and red clots off and on for about 7 days.all i did was ask for a test and she gets mad at me and says well i think i need to go my own way. This doesnt make any sense to me. I just asked her i said i feel strange that you got pregnant in 4 days and it was the day before your period. but when you say i can be yours or someone elses it thows up a red flag and questions. She feels like a liar if i ask her to take a test and show me. Anyone understand this?

Big Mike1234 - a pregnancy test won't show up positive until at least the day her period is due. Even then sometimes it takes a little while longer. Getting pregnant right before your period is due is extremely unlikely (yes it has occurred but only in about 1% of women in the entire world - definitely not the norm) It sounds like her bleeding was her normal period. If she bled for that long while being pregnant I'd say she either lost the baby or was never pregnant at all. If it was "implantation bleeding" it would have only lasted a day or two and been really light. You have to ask yourself what her motives are. How would she benefit by you being the father of her baby? Sometimes women say they're pregnant for drama, to make you stay, to make you leave, etc...if she won't show you the test that's just weird and I'd question whether or not you really want to be with someone who won't back up her statements with proof. Personally, when I get pregnant I can't wait to show my husband the test.

She's either pregnant or she's not. My guess is, she's not. Only time will tell right? It's up to you if you want to wait it out or not. Good luck - I hope it all works out for you. Smile

Stressed out badly.
I'm am 17 weeks pregnant and i get so stress out that i loses weight and feel so depressed. I barely eat i feel so much pain and hurt in my life. I'm married with three daugthers this is my fourth child its hard on me because im left to tend to my kids all the time which its no problem but i feel so stressed that i cant get away and have peace. My husband is a cheater and a abusive person. I'm afraid for my life scared all in one. I have seek help but where im from no one has help me. I dont want anything to happen to my baby. I go to see my doctor tuesday hopefully i can let her know my insight of my miserable life. Its sad but I still maintain to tend to my kids with a smile and i currently do not work so he provides but its like a dog world to him. I have to listen to him wait on him to give me money to take care of things that need to be handle. I know this is not oprah but i felt the need to get this off my chest.
