not happy

[almostout]

Does anyone have any advice? I'm 3 days away from my scheduled csection and I'm going thru a lot. i live with my really mean mother inlaw my husband hardly has any work i had to stop wrking because i had a high risk preganancy. I've been in and out of the hospital thru the whole pregnancy had labor stopped 3 times. my ignorant young sister inlaw insists on being a jerk to us. my daughter turns two next wk and i have no money to celebrate her birthday. i live far away from my mom fam or any friends so no one will b there at the hospital besides my husband and he could only take one day off from wrk. I have gest diabetes and my dr has me giving myself insulin shots. He could have taken the baby out a long time ago but for some reason that he won't say he won't take him out and has me going to his office twice a wk. and makes me look like a moron infront of all nurses even the ones at the hospital. last wk we had to stay at a cheap motel because my mother inlaw was being a total b****. At this point i can't sleep anymore and having a second child is freaking me out. when i got pregnant none of this was going on we were both working had our own place and had a diff dr. I'm sooo upset and don't know at this point how to cheer up. i tried praying but unfortunately its not working. thank u for reading and I'm very thankful for any positive comments. God Bless

Hi almost out
Youust have had baby by now hope you baby and the family are well.
There has been good advice from everyone, please take oone day at a time...you said you pray & its not worked, give it time keep the faith & try to stay strong everything will fall in place eventually. We just had our fourth son (over 5mnths now) since i had our first it hasn't always been easy but when I look back I wouldn't change a thing! Best of luck

The ladies above said so many great things that I wish I could put a mark next to them saying yup...I agree...I may be a ftm, but have had quite the lift. We never know how much strength there is in us until we have been tested to such extremes. I will pray for you and for your inlaws. It sounds like they have their own issues that will correct itself in one way or another down the road. Just continue to keep your head held high and remember that there are a ton of women on here supporting you and wanting the best for you. :)

I know its hard when your in a tough spot like that, but it always helps to look at what you do have, not what you dont.  And try to be thankful for it.  You have a house to stay in, a husband who it sounds like is trying as hard as he can, and gets to be there for the birth, even if its only one day.  You have a beautiful 2 year old, who is not old enough to care what you do for her birthday, bake her a cake so she can blow out candles, and give her extra love and attention, buy a very inexpensive present so she has something to open, thats all a 2 year old needs.  Having another baby is always terrifying, so much changes, im on number 4 and feel the same way, but I think it was worse with my second.  But it all workd out.  You were blessed with this baby for a reason, and despite the difficult circumstances at the moment things will work out.  God doesn't always give us an easy path, but its always the best one, and if you have faith, and follow His lead you will end up where He means for you to be.  I pray that your labor goes well, and that you're able to find peace in the difficult sittuation you're in.

I'm just curious. I know that it's alot a huge thing. But why couldn't you near your family that's much better to you all.?  I'm very very sorry the things your going thru....  If you ever want to chat id be glad to...  This is my 5th baby and been stressing every thing days I don't know how I've made it,  but I have ;)  i agree with both ladies but especially with Annie about the strengths we tap into in situations.. You can and will make it.  Maybe once ur feeling up to it after the baby start going to parks with the kids or mommy meetings posted different places dr offices Wic etc.  To meet moms and kids would be good for you to get away from all the negative nor helping ur situation any better. Especially after the baby be careful of baby blues and being down already. I'd gotten an extremely bad case after my second...  But realized finally I needed help.  I really wish you all the best of luck :) plzz contact me if u want to chat

Honey I've been there. My first pregnancy was a real eye opener for life but I made it thru and you can make it thru this one too. I got out of the bad situation and changed my life by going back to school and now 8 yrs later I'm the head of a department in a hospital have a car, house, going on 3rd kid. It gets better u just have to help it along...take all the help u can and stay positive. This baby will come out and something will happen to give your family a new life....just don't ignore it when it comes.

I have sometimes looked at my son and said "If worst came to worst, could we make it?" and I think of all the losses that might happen, and us in a beat-up trailer park or something, and think "We could."  You have strengths you don't even know, until you have to tap them.  I'm sorry you are going through such stress.  Try to hold it together, your husband is probably freaked out with worry.  Not much longer now and you will no longer have to do the shots, the hassles of regular doctor appts., and all.
