Stress Induced Cramps and Headaches

For the past 4-6 weeks I've been experiencing near paralyzing tension headaches, and just this past week or two my body has thrown tight, sharp, doubling-over pelvic cramps into the mix.

At prenatal appt this morning I was informed by my midwife that I'm overly stressed. Well, with three kids, a manic toddler, forced in-law entertaining, being pushed into a cramped apt for four months while we save money to move across country a week after Christmas (while 5 months pregnant), oh yeah...Christmas, multiple deaths in the family, the husband abandoning all family/household responsibility and diving full stress into work in order to avoid family/personal stress, watching my life-goals and dreams along with my identity get washed away by life overwhelming, all while navigating an unplanned pregnancy...

Well, yeah. Yeah, I'm stressed. A bit.
