I need a friend

I am so upset I don't know how much more bad pregnancy news and situations I can take. I feel like I am falling apart. I am 32 weeks with my third baby and things are just not going well for me these days This hasn't really been a bad or hard pregnacy until now I am a diabetic and I have been having issues with my sugars the past few days. I went into the ER yesterday with early  preterm labor and after 4  hours the contractions stopped. I was on the verge of having to stay and be given something to stop labor. Which as of yesterday morning I found out that the heart murmor I have has gotten worse and needs to be looked at to find out the damage and if they need to up my c-section date another 1 or 2 weeks which will mean he could be at least a month early I am so worried about all this stuff and I hate not being able to do anything about it all too. I had to stop working all together because of this pregnancy as of a month ago I had to go on Maternity leave which wasn't expected at all and now my hubby and I are at eachothers throats because both of our cars are breaking down and he is now the sole provider for us all. I feel bad for him he is trying to take classes for his promotion and take care of our other children. Not to mention the house the bills taking care of it all. I have never been through this much stress ever and I am really woried about my baby and what is going to happen to him.

I just don't know what else I can do or even how to cope with all of this.

Jun. 7, 2007 at 1:29 PM I am so sorry to hear that.  There is some good news though.  As long as the baby is no earlier than 1mo its lungs should be fully developed and should be just fine!!  If you need to talk let me know!

Wow that does sound stressful!  I am so sorry you are going through all of this.  Have you and Hubby sat and talked all of it through?  Are you on the same page about stuff?  I really hope things get better for you hon.  If you ever need to vent I am here just let me know

Jun. 7, 2007 at 1:34 PM I have a sister-in-law that had her twin boys 8 weeks early. She had the same problem you had with her sugar, she came through like a champ, she now has two beautiful twin boys and they were only in the hospital for 4 weeks. It was so amazing. My second son and her twin boys are only 4 weeks apart. well I wish you the best of luck and the more you stress about it the more the baby will be stressed. you need to try to do something to take you mind off of this. relax and watch a movie that you love like three times in a row just to remember someone special or a special occasion of some sort. Keep us all posted on your unborn. let us know....

Jun. 7, 2007 at 1:43 PM im sorry your having so many problems but you got to keep your head up and just hope for the best cuz things will get better. and as for your gestational diabetes if it keeps geting worse maybe i can ask my mom if she has any tips or my sisters mom cuz they both had that and as for you baby been borne a month early dont trip so much cuz your baby is for the most part other then been born early healthy ya, well with all the good doctors and all the medicine and medical advances been born one month early isnt so bad your baby will be just fine, i mean if i was born c-section and almost 2 months early 20 years ago and im was fine, then your lil one will be ok just have faith and all will fall into place. ok hope this helps. ill keep you in my payers.

I understand how you feel.  I had to stop working because of my health problems this pregnancy, too.  I'm not diabetic; I'm hypoglycemic and I have a harder time during my pregnancies.  I also have other health issues that have all gotten worse during this pregnancy.  I just keep telling myself that it's almost over (I'm 37 weeks).  Good luck.
