Stress may results in fussy baby. My first one came out so fussy because I stressed so much at work, but it is probably just my random guess. Nothing scientific. But I read that stressed out mother will restrict the blood flows to the baby, so try to find your ways of relaxing when it is stressful. We can't avoid stressors but probably manage our reactions to them? Good luck!

No, I don’t think so. I’m thinking possibly maybe smaller babies cos they don’t get much nutrients from mummy due to mummy’s lack of appetite or sleep.

Im not too sure abt that. But stress can definitely affect the baby. https://www.pregnancybirthbaby.org.au/stress-and-pregnancy
