Stress Stress STRESS!

I'm due in two weeks, September 12th. Things at home are going nuts and I'm SO overly stressed. I'm having family issues with my brother and mom and my kitty died today.
I'm having cramps all day every day, lost my appetite, I've cried for two days straight over my sick kitty and my horribly rude, immature, MEAN brother.
He got in my face and was screaming at me all because he wanted my fiance' to take him somewhere for something ILLEGAL and I told him to leave him alone! It was so bad, the police had to be called, but they couldn't do anything.
I feel sick now, weak, tired.. no appetite, migraine.

How can I deal with some of this stress? ):
Could it seriously affect my baby?

That's what my grandmother AND my fiance's grandmother said. My grandmother even told my mom to pack her bag today, because she KNOWS I'm going to go into labor tonight. Haha. I'm not getting my hopes up.
Thank you though, I appreciate it. Good luck to you too. :)

Ur almost done. I wish I could help u more. I'm having a hard time sleeping to but I think my body is jst preparing me for when my son arrives. I've been hearing a lot about the full moon tonite and people going into labor because of it. I'm hoping it works for me. I have 3 days less. Hopefully ur doctor can help. good luck

I'm 38+2. I was having crazy contractions last night after I got stressed. My friend took me for a drive to calm me down. It helped a little, but I haven't felt well all day. I'm also having a lot of trouble sleeping.
I'm trying to stay calm, it's just hard. ): I have another doc's app in 4 days, so I may talk to them about it.

That does seem very stressful. I go for a walk when I start to get stressed. depending on how far along a person is determined how it affects the baby. I start having contractions when i start to stress. I'm 39+4. I'm not sure what affect it has on the baby other then my midwife telling me if I stress too much I could go into labor before he is ready to come out.
