how harmful is stress?!

i've been feeling pretty good the last few days about this pregnancy...i've got a long way to go, but somehow i'm remaining relatively levelheaded and even somewhat positive.

that is, until i have to inject the lovenox! a couple of times i've gotten lucky and it goes in with little trouble. but other nights (like tonight!) it takes foorreevver! and during that time (about 10 min), i become frustrated, i cry, i yell and even shake a bit. once the needle is finally in i calm right down and relax but i'm always concerned that i'm causing the bean harm with my mini-stressouts!

i guess there's nothing i can do now, and this is a silly question, but to make me feel a little better, someone please tell me these small frustration vents are okay and normal from time to time?!

thanks! from the ever-neurotic stef!

Stef,


I recently went through the loss of my 10-year-old furbaby (to cancer).
