Hi Me and the wife got into a big fight to the point of a screaming match. Can that hurt the baby she says she does not feel the baby is th

That normal. Should I worry she has a doctor appt soon to hear the heart beat. As a father I am worry that I cause the stress on her and the baby she is 8!wks by the way there is no bleeding or cramping

If your wife is only 8 weeks your baby will still be far down in her pelvis and still developing for her to be feeling any movement yet anyway. On average I would say that mothers don't usually feel the baby move until at least 16 weeks and it can be much later for first time mums. So I wouldn't stress that she cant feel the baby yet.

Its best for your wife to avoid stress at any point in the pregnancy, but all couples argue from time to time so I wouldn't feel guilty that you have argued as it normally takes two!

These early stages of pregnancy can be a worrying time for both mother and father as all you have had is a positive test and lots of waiting to see or hear your baby. As long as your wife is feeling well I'd try not to worry and if she has any major concerns contact her midwife.

Hope this helps.

Your wife will not feel the baby move at this stage of pregnancy most women dont feel first movements till after 16wks just try not to worry and let it get to u both xx

Thank you I just feel a little better she will be seeing the doctor soon. I pray and hope the baby is ok. She has been in bed all weekend and feeling dizzy and tired. Is that normal at 8 weeks thank you for advice and assistance. She has been feeling hungry more and more that signs that the baby is ok right ?

She might be alright but remember first trimester is crucial period for ur baby's development so please avoid stressing her out she can get very moody as well this is normal her hormones are all over the place so just take it easy on her

The best thing I can say is Please do try to exercise your patients from now on.

8 wks of pregnancy is very hard on most women as your wife may be feeling & most likely being sick most mornings / days & on top of that feeling very tired with the hormonal changes a "growing pregnancy" brings

the only way to describe those early weeks of pregnancy is like having a constant daily hangover without the joys of drinking the night before. The woman is normally very tired (I fell asleep at my desk several times at work!), nauseous and moody. Be kind and gentle with her for a little while and try not to stress urself as women often pick up quickly on mens anxieties and worry themselves.

In pregnancy, people always ask about the women-folk and never the dads-to-be. This is a great forum and the girls are always really helpful with any problems. If you need to vent or ask a question, visit this site and do it here (especially the venting part) good luck and congrats on the pregnancy x
