i have a lot going on in my life too. My father passed away in feb, then my uncle in April and i am going through issues with my significant other. The only thing that really lifts me up and makes me feel better is prayer, reading my bible and just trying to relax a bit. It will get better i know because God does not give us more than we can handle.

I feel ya. I'm 11 wks with #5, and I'm 34, but for the last few years I've been solely taking care of my mom who has early onset Alzheimers. Its been really hard,  too since my only sibling passed away 3 years ago. My in laws and hubby and kids are super helpful, but I have the fear too that my dedication to my mom will harm my pregnancy somehow....even though I'm very healthy and try to pray when I'm stressed especially. Just hang in there and remember that this little blessing is a joy to alliviate some of the pains....God bless- ill remember you in my prayers.

Amen Jesus is my rock.  The enemy brings fear and I get so tired of the battle.  Thoughts of preclampsia ...

Hmm stress is obvious. But still you must think the positivity and new baby. Deaths happen to everyonez life. Stay calmed and strong. Depression is common in pregnancy n in your case its totally understandable. Pray to God. Takecare
