Ugh ='(

My brother tried to kill himself this morning..I'm just so lost right now. He won't wake up and they don't know when he'll wake up..I'm almost 30 weeks and I've been getting alot of tightness in my tummy and pain in my ribs (maybe from crying?). Only his wife knew that he was having problems..and she never told anyone..I'm just so upset. ='( Should I be worried about the tightness in my tummy?? It's not painful but it's uncomfortable. Baby is still kicking up a storm.

Could be Braxton Hicks.... Time them and if you have more than 4 in an hour call l&d. In the mean time try to lay down on  your left side, and keep yourself hydrated!! Sorry to hear about your brother!! I have gone through the same stuff with my mom!!

My best friend passed away like that. I'm so so sorry to hear you and your family are going through that. Take it one day at a time, and lean on each other. All the stress can cause bh contractions. So that's what it sounds like to me. I know its so hard to not stress about something like that,.but maybe go home and take a bath, read a book... Anything to get your mind on something else for awhile. I'll be praying for you and your family.

Im so sorry dear!! :( my heart is breaking for you.
I know its easier said than done considering what your going through but drink 2 huge glasses of water and lay on your left side and try to relax. Meditate. That might help your belly.

Thank y'all =) I will definitely try that. I can't even think about food right now. The Dr said his organs are ok, but we don't know about any brain damage yet. Thank y'all for the prayers.

I'm so sorry you are going through this! You have to eat even if you just force a little snack down. Stress can trigger a lot of these things in our bodies. I'll pray for you and your family! I hope he is okay!!
