midwife has said that stress in pregnancy can cause adhd, behavioural problems or autism and that although there’s no masses of research these are possible.
it is an understatement to say I’ve been stressed. I am under extreme emotional distress, stomach in knots each day, diarrhoea often, heart pounding. Not all the time but a lot of each day. I’m slowly trying to manage it but it’s largely wound in my husband walking out and having got another woman pregnant. It’s not something I can switch off and to be honest these worries are now making it even worse! Did anyone have extreme stress and things were ok? I already had anxiety before all this.
