What Are the Effects of Anger on the Fetus?
Disease description:
I’m two months pregnant, and lately I’ve been feeling extremely irritable and prone to anger. A friend told me that getting angry during pregnancy is harmful to the fetus. I’d like to ask: What impact does anger have on the developing fetus?

Frequent anger in pregnant women can adversely affect the fetus—particularly during early pregnancy. Persistent anger may disrupt hormonal balance, leading to fetal tachycardia (abnormally rapid fetal heart rate), intrauterine fetal hypoxia, and even miscarriage. Pregnant women should strive to relax and avoid excessive psychological stress; they are encouraged to communicate openly with friends and family members.
