Tell me there’s still hope…

!! Trigger warning !! Depression/anxiety/toxic relationship Hello, I’ve come here to seek positive stories, if there are any. I’m at the end of my second pregnancy. My first baby came after a stressful but well managed period of my life. They’re great. But this pregnancy was made awful to me. Just fights over fights. I cried a hell lot. Very rarely felt mentally stable. I was deemed depressed or anyway with high level of anxiety by my HV. I’ve just come across what I was hoping I’d never come across, that is an article stating the correlation between how the mum felt during pregnancy and the baby’s neurological development. Now I’m more terrified than ever. I feel like we’ve broken them and they’re not even born yet. Has anyone had a very stressful pregnancy but a good baby? TIA

I was in an abusive relationship and my son is happy and healthy please feel free to privately message me x

@Jodie just messaged xx

My ex made my pregnancy hell baby is okay. He’s got a squint eye but that hopefully wasn’t linked to my pregnancy experience otherwise he’s a happy baby x

@Sarah mine is not ex yet. I’m hoping we can still work things through. We will see after baby is here as we may just be incompatible. I’m worried of all the impact it can have on this baby. First child they’re absolutely amazing. They have very strong bond with the dad, they were loved to bits from day 1. I started being stressed out after they were born, but not to this level. And I still was the happiest I’d ever been when I was on maternity leave. Now I feel like a failure to this baby 😞 I’m glad to hear that both of your babies are happy regardless of what happened, it reassures me so much!

My LB is happy and healthy, and I had a stressful pregnancy with very high blood pressure at the end due to it 😊

Thank you all, this is all very reassuring!! Hopefully my baby will also be happy and healthy ♥️

I had quite stressful pregnancy , I was calm , but lots of stress, once I collapse in my scan because of some situation...my daughter is out of control...hope your baby will be fine...second pregnancy I cried too much...hard to say anything , baby just born recently
