So stressed :( need someone to talk too

I hate being negative and complaining about things but I just got really sad all of sudden just everything around me is changing I'm going to be a ftm and I'm 26wks and 4 days prego and at one point I didn't think I could get pregnant so when it happen I was so excited me and my boyfriend both tired we both wanted it. So it was a blessing to hear that we were pregnant but then I got really really in my first trimester and really all the way till my 20th wk and I still get sick once in the blue moon here and there but like I'm used to working and making my own money and getting up and doing my thang but when I got sick I went from full time to working twice a week, my boyfriend is a professional football player  but this is gonna be his second year so the big money hasn't came rolling in yet lol but I have to give him credit when it's due after I couldn't work he's been paying for the big bills (rent, car) and stuff but I'll still take care the little things such as electricity and my phone bill but I just see my account just dropping and dropping OMG I hate it :( and then the baby shower I wanted to go half n half bc shoot he's been doing so much for me that I wanted to do something too but lord that is bitting me in my behind. Money is really the root of all evil. I try to stay happy and positive on the strength of my baby girl but sometimes it's hard to always keep it together. I believe in prayer and having faith and being patient that everything will eventually be ok but I'm human I think I worry to darn much:( im sorry for so long I just wanted to vent.

Sometimes a good cry makes all the difference! I know it has helped me, especially if I can manage to do it without anyone noticing.

Yes I feel you I hate that my hubby has to take up all the burden, but God did put them here to be providers. I guess its in their natural to do so. I too am a go getter. I hate not having my own money and just doing nothing, but carrying a baby. I sometimes get soooo sad, but trust once that baby comes it will all be worth it. And thank God you have a good man that helps. There's lots of women that don't have that kind of help unfortunately. Good luck mommy!

When it rains it pours! Just remember this too shall pass! And before you know it the bundle of joy will be here! I struggled with this pregancy because we have 3 children already. And o had to completely stop working. So my husband has been taking care of everything. And its hard to see him bust his ***. But I'm forever grateful that God provided me with an amazing husband! Its only human to feel like you aren't doing anything but you are growing your miracle! So focus on her! prayers sent your way!

Im sorry things are getting you down. And absolutely money is the root of evil! Congratulations on your pregnancy. Have you considered looking into secret shopping? It could be a way to earn a bit of money when you are feeling well enough. I am not 100% on how it works but have a friend who does it to help suppliment between loans, school and a part-time job. Feel free to vent anytime,  I went from being able to do anything I wanted and taking care of my two other children and household to having to hire help because i have been placed on bed rest. My poor fiance has been working his butt off and dipping into our savings a tiny bit to help cover the extra expenses, he thinks I don't know and seems to want it that way. All I can gipe for is to make it to full term and hope baby doesn't stay in NICU for more than a few days.
