HELP! Need Advice!!!!! =(

Hi ladies!

Im now 28weeks but i must its been a long preganancy journey. In the beginning my bf and I  started off as a great team but since his father has been battling/diagnosed with  different types of cancers.... everything has been all over the place. (Its like you can be selfish at this time, eventhough you need his full attention for the baby&me) When life hits theres not much u can do but pray.

On the weekdays/weekends, i spend it alone or with my family most of the time bcz hes visiting his father in ICU... Ive been his number support system since his father illness has gotten worst but its been very hard for me to stay strong becz i am pregnant and hormonal.

I thank god that our baby has been healthy this far but it still scares me alot bcz ive been soooo stressed with dealing with his family ups and downs due to his father illness. Stress isnt great during pregnancy and i just continue to hope and that she comes out  healthier than ever bcz im pretty sure i put her through alot on some days... Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before....?

I'm pregnant with number 3. During my second pregnancy we were back and forth between were we lived and where his family lived 3 hours away because his grandmother was dying. Every other day we got a call saying this is it you need to hurry and get here and then she would be doing better and they'd say false alarm. We spent so much money making those trips my entire pregnancy and it was extremely stressful not just financially but emotionally as well and it was hard on our relationship. She died a Month after our daughter was born.. with this pregnancy everything was going great and then out of nowhere last Month my grandmother who lives an hour and a half away ended up in the hospital with lung cancer. I practically moved there for a week and he traveled back and forth between there and home so be could still work but still be there for me and she passed away by the end of that week. She was like my mother. As stressful as it is on your relationship don't let it tear you two apart. He needs you and you need hi.. stress isn't good on you or your baby but you cant always control that and things like to happen at the worst of times. You just have to stay strong and work through it and hope for the best

Your baby will come out just as healthy as you imagined with my first I thought I stressed out a lot. But with my husband being gone this time around I am going nuts but since I had such a hard time with my first and he came out just fine I figure this one should too... But definitely talk to someone about it. Being pregnant is a great thing but really hard for some mommys out there don't worry about your baby girl she will be A OK just sing to her at night-- that's what I do to apologize--- I did it for my son too it makes me feel better
