Stress causing pains in pregnancy

Im 16 weeks pregnant and have been very stressed this past week. I've been feeling depressed, have little patience and have been very stressed. I was referred to the pregnancy mental health team at the start of my pregnancy for feeling down but now the stress is just too much.

I have been getting headaches and period type pains after a period of feeling angry/stressed. I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning to my midwife or waiting until my first mental health appointment.

Can stress cause harm to the baby?

Stress always made me feel more sick so I didn’t drink and eat as much. Being dehydrated causes these stomach pains too. Maybe focus on trying to drink more and see if the pains go away?
