Hurting and Stressed

   So my husband is on deployment again. He has been since I was 9weeks pregnant. And he will be deployed until I'm just about ready to have the baby. He was deployed for our first child, deployed when I miscarried our daughter, and is going to be deployed basically this entire pregnancy. We have been really unlucky in that aspect. And the doctors just told me that right after I have this baby I am going to have to come in for weekly injections for the rest of my life and additionally be evaluated for possible heart and lung surgery. They told me to "get my affairs in order" before our little girl is born just in case both surgies are immediately necessary. And they told me not to expect to live a long life.

To be honest I'm extremely stressed out and having him away makes it way worse. Not to mention I'm constantly hurting and more tired than I have ever been in my life.

Is anyone else in a similar situation? Is there anything that helps you relax?

We don't have the same situation but my husband works out of town 6 days a week and the 1 day he is home we are fighting or he takes off... Over lil things too.. I'm pregnant w baby #2, I have a 2yr old and I'm helping raise his 5 brothers. I should say I'm raising them cause I'm at home with them 24'7 not him. Its extremely stressful, I cant help but cry but it gets me no where.... I don't know I I've found anything to help me relax I just try to not think about things so much. Turn to the lord and he will help you. He hears you even when you don't think it...
God bless you..
