27 weeks and soon to be homeless

Kristin

Hyperthyroidism is ruining my life and I don’t know what to do! I never knew I was sick until I found out I was pregnant. I lost my job due to not being able to function, as well as my wife. Now here I am pregnant, alone, and facing eviction.

I was always a heavy girl but I got tired of not being able to do anything. My weight caused a lot of problems in my joints

So I began my weight loss journey in February of last year. In November I went to the hospital because I just couldn’t walk and everything I ate passed right through to the other end. I thought I was crazy.

Doctor comes in and says...well I have good news and bad news! Which do you want first? So I tell him give me the bad news first...he proceeds with telling me I have hyperthyroidism and he is glad I came when I did because I was close to death. Severely malnourished. I say ok so what’s the good news? Ima alive cuz I came here? He says no the good news is you are pregnant! I was extremely happy about that because my wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for months.

Needless to say my health has been continually declining during my pregnancy causing me to lose my job . I’ve been put on bed rest and my wife and I argued so much she left me yesterday. Convenient for her seeing as how we were served with eviction paperwork Friday for non payment of rent.

So here I am 27 weeks pregnant and can barely care for myself, alone, facing eviction, with my 10 year old son trying to keep it together. I feel like a terrible parent and I really just hate my life.

I don’t look pregnant at all but she’s in there kicking away

He can’t wait to be a big brother...and I’m terrified

She will be here soon and I’m not ready
