Dad diagnosed pancreatic cancer(just found out im pregnant)!

I can't believe this id happening right now.. I have been feeling really weird and tired. I have a 4 month old baby and since my dad has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer I have not kept up with my cycle and realized im late! Just checked and I am pregnant. I am so emotional both in a good and bad way. Only because we just found out my dad has pancreatic cancer and I dont know how much time he has left but this whole issue has had me beyond stressed ive been losing my hair..over eating and having anxiety attacks.. Im wondering is it okay to be having a baby right now? I dont want to hurt my baby with stress and anxiety. I am in such shock!

I'm really  sorry for the situation.  CALL your gyro, get prenatal, ask someone  to bring home healthy  food, ask for help when you need it, and allow unself to relax unwind and think, write in a journal.  I had a super stressful  first pregnancy  and baby came out healthy

I'm so sorry you're going through this sadness.

Your hairloss is likely a result of having a newborn.  

Looking through your profile,  you were wanting to get pregnant again back in January,  so it sounds like besides your dad's sudden and tragic illness things in your life are going well and are stable.

You'll be fine,  but it's really hard to lose a parent and watch them suffer.

Best wishes.
