I've been experiencing alot of boyfriend preoblems lately, which have been causing me kind of severe emothioal stress at times. The situation in total is just messed up and has been causing me to cry hysterically and at times be hysterical. Not in a violent or self destructive way just in an extremely frustrated or sad way. It's getting less intense as days go by,but I guess im just concerned on what if anything this emotional termoil can do to my unborn child? im 17 weeks...anyone?

Easiest thing to do? Get rid of whatever is causing you the stress. Get rid of your boyfriend meaning don't have anymore contact with him unless it's absolutely necessary.

p.s. guys aren't worth it to be so stressed over

Is the boyfriend the father?
Its hard to go through stress when you are pregnant. Many of us fly off the handle when there is no reason to be stressed. Having a bad situation just makes it worse.
Stress can have an effect on your baby. When your adrenaline is pumping, the baby's heart rate increases and can lead to irregularities. Stress can also affect the development on the emotional centers in the baby's brain. Also, stress releases cortisone in your blood, which increases the blood sugar levels in your body. This can also affect your baby. (Similar to the effects of gestational diabetes).
You can't usually control the reason behind the stress, but you can control your stress. You have to try as hard as you can to reduce your reaction to stress, for your baby's sake.
Try breathing deeply for several minutes with your eyes closed when faced with a situation that may be causing a reaction. Maybe taking a yoga or meditation class can help teach you how to manage your stress. Treat yourself to a massage.
Also, don't isolate yourself. Talk it out with friends, family, or a professional if needs be. One of the best ways to feel better is to let it all out and have people relate to you. If you have nobody to talk it out to- write in a journal. It will help you to feel better.
Good luck!

I'm sorry I can only offer one suggestion on the subject. Talk to him. Other than that, I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. My BF has caused a lot of stress for me throughout my pregnancy. Though we're usually able to work though our issues it always seems as though he turns right around and does something else to get me upset. As far as getting rid of him as someone else had suggested, I'd thought about it, but he's paying my bills. Besides, it's not that easy to just get rid of someone you care for. It would also be quite impossible to get rid of everything in my life that causes stress. But anyway, my baby has shown to be fine during all of my doctors visits.

I do wish you the best in whatever you choose to do.

thanks everyone. yes the boyfriend is the father. i've started to do yoga, and i do try to de-stress myself. so hopefull everything is okay
