Stress Induced contractions

I'm having contractions that have been brought on by stress. My life situations are actually stressful, not just me being emotionally pregnant. My dad just found out he has a rare cancer, my husband is never home due to work, we are not able to pay all of our bills due to me being out of work for maternity leave... which means we don't have funds to do activities that would relieve stress like a massage or pedicure. Also dealing with a 3 yr old who has an insane amount of energy and gets up 2-3 times per night... Sorry for the rant.  Any suggestions on what I can do?

Wow that's alot to deal with. Maybe take a warm bath, yoga poses, deep breathing exercises? Maybe reach out to a friend or family member in your time of need, that's what they are there for. Also you could talk to a doctor about your stress and anxiety.  Just getting it all out helps so much. And I'm sure they have ideas for stress relief. Good luck.
