Does frequent anger during pregnancy cause stillbirth?

Patient's question:

Often, arguments and anger over various matters, combined with a long-distance car ride, which is quite bumpy, could directly affect the stillbirth? Before the long-distance car ride, I had widespread itching that was uncontrollable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said the itching was caused by low bile acid levels, and the baby's heart rate was irregular, requiring oxygen therapy. After receiving oxygen, I experienced vomiting. Later, due to exams and training, I took a very long car ride. The road conditions were poor, and the ride was bumpy. During this time, my husband and I had many arguments and were often angry for a long time. A month later, when I went for a check-up, it was found that the fetus had died.

Doctor's answer:

If you are often angry, there is still a possibility of causing a miscarriage, but the chance is not very high. However, considering the possibility of preterm labor, it is best for pregnant women not to get angry during pregnancy. Being constantly angry during pregnancy can affect the baby's personality. Besides, frequent anger can easily lead to preterm labor, which is quite dangerous for you. It's better to maintain a good mood. If you're feeling down, you can talk to me. I don't know you, so I can be your listener. Saying it out loud might make you feel better. If you want to keep the child, it is recommended to rest in bed, receive treatment to support the pregnancy, and closely monitor the baby's growth and development.
