Stress from loss of a pet affecting the baby?
My pet died last night and I am absolutely devastated and miserable. I have not stopped crying and I am even more worried all this heartache will hurt my unborn baby. Will it have a bad effect? And what can I do make myself feel better so I don’t harm the baby?
Thank you for all the replies. I really am upset but it makes me feel better to know that it won’t be a problem.
Don’t listen to the first answerer (how ridiculous!).
I lost my Grandmother when I was in my first trimester & in my third trimester I had to send my horses interstate for a friend to look after as I couldn’t look after them anymore & my best horse was 17 & I’d had him since he was a foal. I was devastated by both of these events, after my horses went away I cried for a week & was inconsolable. I spoke to my Ob about it affecting my baby & in his words “there is no evidence to suggest the emotional state of the mother has any bearing whatsoever on the fetus” & that it was better for me to grieve than to internalize the emotions. My son is the healthiest baby & in the 97th percentile & smiles all day long!
I’m so sorry you lost your pet, it’s a huge deal & you should let yourself grieve for your loss, your baby will be fine xxx
