Got way upset, what started as heartburn turned to a full blown backache. What to do?

I’m 31 weeks pregnant and I got into it with the roomate. I always try to keep myself calm since I got pregnant but it was hard. And in the past I know my blood pressure has risen, I’ve gotten heartburn and felt sick. I have heartburn now, but it slowly turned into a backache and stomach ache… I’m not sure what to do or if I should be concerned at all. I’ve calmed down but it still won’t go away.

the best thing for you right now is a nice drink of water, some fresh air and to take your mind off things.
Try a slow stroll in the garden, or lay down on the grass outside.
breathe deeply and rub your belly. Talk to your baby and reassure baby that it’s okay that mummy gets stressed sometimes.
Baby can feel what you feel, so when you get worked up, baby does too. Only baby doesn’t understand what’s going on, it will help you relax even more if you talk things over with your baby bump.
The back and stomach aches are from the tension in your body when you were feel anxious/worked up. These will go away on their own while you relax. Or you can help with having a warm shower, and put a warm pack on your lower back.
if your majorly concerned i would contact your doctor. But i am 34 weeks pregnant and when i get upset or yell, my back will start to hurt and my stomach will actually get hard, like im having a contraction.
I take it as, "the baby knows what your feeling and reacts to it" you stress so does the baby and your body..
hope this helps
call your doctor and talk to him or her it would be best for the baby u can never be too safe
The heartburn might not have turned into a backache- rather u developed a backache around the same time u had the heartburn. Backaches are quite common in pregnancy and i get them frequently, if i were you i would try to lay down and take a load off try not 2 worry about ur roomate 2 much just worry about yourself and the well being of your baby- this includes relaxing as much as possible as your baby can feel when ur stressed!
