Apr. 3, 2008 at 12:18 PM You can and will get thru this. God gave you this baby as a gift. Pray that He will watch over and protect the baby and help you do all you can to be as healthy as possible during pregnancy. Do all you can do--eat healthy, rest when the doc says to, etc. After you've done all you can do, you must leave the rest up to God. He is sovereign, He knows your situation, He created that baby. He will bring you through this. As for the husband, have you tried just gently asking him to try and see you where you are? Explain to him that hormones run wild during and after pregnancy (which could be causing alot of those tears--I was a perpetually tearful witch (with a b!) when I was pregnant), and that you don't need him to come up with answers or solutions--you just need him to listen and be there. Men often dodge emotion from us gals b/c they have that God-given drive to make it all better and they feel pressured to come up with a solution to the problem...but if your hubby can realize that you just need him to offer his shoulder and his ears, maybe he'll be more willing to stick around when the going gets tough (or teary lol). God bless and congrats on that baby. By the way if the tears keep flowing even though you try to get over it, maybe consider talking to a psychiatric counselor. I've done it; alot of people have done it; doesn't mean you're crazy--you might just need a low dose of antidepressant for right now, and there are many that are safe to take during pregnancy (Zoloft for one). It may do a world of good for you. Good luck.
