  • Can screaming on the top of my lungs when I am 22 weeks pregnant hurt tge baby?

    I am 22 weeks pregnant and my procrastibating husband and I have been stuck with an impending kitchen renovation for almost a year. It does not help that my husband is disorganuzed to say the least. We have had our kitchen literally in the living room and pots and all over the kitchen floor. It is not safe to live like this and this has caused me stress. I keep pushing my husband to get things done (I cant do anything its his project). Every time I comfront him on it he screams at me and says hes taking care of it causing me to scream. Now this stress caused me to get into a fight w my dad today and I was screaminb on tge top of my lungs(partlybcause my dad doesnt listen when i talk and frustrates me). now tge only happy thing thats happened this year is my baby. I would be devastated if i gepoardized anything. Havinv our baby is the only motivation for mynhusband y

  • Ladies, if u drank very litle caffine duing pregnacy, would drinking more then u normally drink, but still within the limits, do harm?

    I mean would it shock the fetus as long as u staybwithin the limited amount? I normally drink one or two cups of tea a day, which I just found out has very little caffine. A few days ago, I decided to have a drink thatvhas 95 mg of caffine, knowing it does not exede the daily limit. Many women have a cup of coffee a day and there babys are healthy, but there fetus was used to it. Is it worst to have thatvamount just once then if i had that same amount every day? Im in the second trimester.
