Stress in pregnancy? Can it affect the baby

I just feel like I'm so wound up about stuff lately that I worry it will have an affect on the baby. I'm 16 weeks on weds.
It's not just the small things. It's things like both our exes have been complete knob jockeys since found out were expecting. His ex is saying things to his DC like.. When daddy has baby he won't have time for you.. And using child as a weapon. = court order requested
My ex.. Well he thinks being a dad is about holidays etc. Not the upbringing then calls me a bad parent. For example. DS refused point blank to do homework in the summer. Me and my dp Sat down and tried every night to get him to do it and he didn't.. So I just said that's fine. We've tried it's you who will get a detention.. How can I physically force him to read and write. We tried no PC until done. No football etc he just didn't care. All I got from my ex was well you should of made him. You need to give him space etc. Which he has a whole other room to use with laptop and homework related items. Then when I asked for a rise in maintenance due to DS at secondary school etc he offered £1 a week.! So hav e gone via child maintenance service.
It seems they take it in turns to wind us up.

On too I hate my job. I mean despise it and I'm. Purely there for the maternity benefits.

DS has been attacked twice at sch in the last week. Resulting in me now very tempted to ring, 101 for advice to see if police can intervene as the other child doesn't learn as did it in their last sch to my son for a year.

I just want to relax and enjoy the pregnancy. But I just feel wound up

I have heard that it can affect baby but I was very stressed during last pregnancy. My school was inspected (and did very badly) and I had to cover other classes including dealing with violent behaviour. I also had to take on extra responsibilities. All in all very stressful. And DH had a long drawn out redundancy.

"Baby" is now 2 and a half and seems fine (or normally toddlerish at least). So don't think it did him any harm.

Pregnant again and really stressed again (despite being in a different and supposedly better school).
