Will Stress Stop You Getting Pregnant?
If you tell people that you are trying to get pregnant but having difficulty they will probably say something like “Relax it will happen” or “You’re stressing too much, don’t think about it”. While they are well meaning, it can be incredibly frustrating to hear these words.
But are they correct? Can stress stop you from getting pregnant? The truth is, that while stress can delay ovulation, it can’t actually stop you from getting pregnant. If you are ovulating normally then you should starting looking for other reasons why you are not getting pregnant.
Trying to have a baby is already a stressful situation and while I’ve already mentioned that it can’t stop you falling pregnant, it doesn’t hurt to do activities like yoga or meditation to help get you through this time.
