I know how you feel my boyfriend doesn't live in the US I miss him, financial stress, my parents are very conservative I still haven't told them I'm 5 weeks and they don't approve of my boyfriend because he is younger than me. I haven't told anyone but him, but.he.can't be here I feel alone sometimes. You're not alone in feeling what you feel the stress I pray everything will work out God let the baby be created for a reason

I just feel guilty for letting myself feel stresses because i dont want my baby boy to feel my stress and i know he is a blessing but i still constantly worry about how i am going to pull this off on my own

Well first thing you need to do is try and stay calm if you have a high risk pregnancy. Sometimes crying can help relieve tension build up and does not mean you are weak, just human. I have been there and done that with the stress situations on both counts and also had high risk pregnancy. Best thing you can do for both of you is cut out anything or anyone who is causing you to stress. You also have all of us to talk to or vent to so you are not alone. We are here to support and help each other. I don't know whole situation but things usually have a way of working out if you can hold on. There are also programs you could check into to help with the financial stresses. when I start to get stressed I sit down, close my eyes and picture my baby floating around peacefully inside..i think of the sounds he/she hears like my heart beating..i think about the things we will do together..take slow deep breaths and know if I'm calm, then the baby is calm. I know it might not work for everyone but that is what helps me. I wish you luck!

Thank u guys so much for the advice it definitley makes it easier knowing im not the only one and I'm SO glad i found this forum this is the only place i can go to people who get me. If i tried to eliminate everybody who causes stress id have to put my whole family on a boat and push them out to sea (even tho that strain might make me pee a little )

Does anyone else wish they could just drink margarita after margarita till the sun comes up? Man i miss those nights. Now its all about work and naps and health and planning, dont get me wrong im very excited and cant wait to hold my boy in my arms but i also cant wait to have my body back so i can relax the way i know how

Well unfortunately we don't get to pick our families lol can I put a few people on that boat too please???? maybe the boat will wash up on an island somewhere and we could get a couple years peace hahaha

I really like ur destressing technique mnbaby3. I have been stressing out over finances and work and how little my hubby wants to be part of this. I'm due aug 28 with our first (for the both of us). The father is always angry and blowing up over little things. And I'm supposed to be the emotional one! He still wants to get drunk with his buddy at our house ALL weekend and not help with work. Now I plan to start picturing my baby and breathing. I'm tired of crying and stressing out.

I also like the idea of picturing baby chillin out in there without a care in the world its really helping me cope and it makes me want him here that much more i really cant wait for him to come!
