does stress cause a miscarriage?
when i found out i was pregnant me and my husband got in a big fight and almost split up and it was so up setting that i was crying none stop . and then we seem to be doing better and a week later i started cramping and bleeding at 5 weeks could this be because i had so much stress and it hurt the baby . but i also quit smoking a week before could that have been stress full on the baby. please someone let me know i can't seem to get over it i am still crying. i need closer and i need to know if i did something so if we have another pregnancie i wont do the same thing again. this has been really hard on my older kids too they don't understand and i don't know how to tell them. please help me so i can stop crying and start healling

Yes it is possiable for stress to harm the baby.Go to your doctor as soon as possaible to find out whats going on.
babe, you need to understand that the most common cause of miscarriage of a foetus under 13 weeks is due to a problem with its d.n.a. maybe the cromosomes did not go together as they should etc.. im telling you now so you can forgive yourself, there was nothing you could have done to prevent this situation..pregnant women starving in ethiopia, who endure rigorous work loads and have a lot more to stress about then you have children. so im sure that your stress in comparison was nothing.. also the quitting smoking was doing the baby and yourself a favour.. if you decide to have anymore please quit before trying to conceive..smile:)
Its rare but intense and prolonged stress can cause a miscarraige.
Stress in the mother can cause the baby's heartrate to increase significantly which sometimes can cause a loss....but there is no way to deffinatly proof that the stress alone caused that loss. The main reason for a loss is a development problem with the baby.
well stress is usually the main emotion in early pregnancy so it cant happen all the time, but in extreme cases im sure it can happen
JUST PRACTICE ON LIVING a healthy life
it is possible! call your Dr. if you haven't already about the bleeding
