Reply to Pregnant patients with anxiety have altered immune systems: pregnant women with anxiety have higher levels of immune cells cytotoxic T cells and they have differences in the activity of immune markers that circulate in the blood by giuliomagnifico
I've been curious about pregnancy coupled with anxiety. When my mom was pregnant with my older sister, it was planned. She loved it and has/still says it was the best time in her life. Two years later, while she was pregnant with me, my dad came out as gay (then HIV positive) while undergoing treatment for cancer, so she had to work a stressful customer service job to make ends meet.
I have always had weird physical health issues, but my sister doesn't have any health concerns. I have been diagnosed with aplastic anemia and Thrombocytosis but require zero treatment because my body functions normally. I don't have any cancer and no genetic markers for cancer, so I just get iron infusions a couple of times a year. The only thing I can really point to is the differences in my mother's pregnancy.

Im 40 and have been dealing with cyclical vomiting syndrome for 10 years. Turns out it was stress and anxiety

60 minutes recently had an episode where they were doing trials to treat the same cancer in a dog and a human, I think with listeria. Both participants died from said cancer (it was in the brain and surgery, chemo had already failed).

Wow, I'm sorry yo hear that. I asked a few specialists and they were dismissive because this isn't a topic that has been widely explored.
