Emotional stress does not effect the baby directly.. But yes if u r not mentally at peace it cn effect your health and lead to hyperemesis ,loss of appetite, anemia , poor weight gain and then it harms the baby by causing intrauterine growth retardation and other effects.. So try to be happy and enjoy the phase.. Its for your own benefit
