I'm 29, I've been suffering a congenital heart condition since birth, which I got the 1st surgery for almost 10 years ago.

6 months before that, I had a Stroke which left me with right-side weakness, memory, speech and movement difficulty. I've only just gotten my drivers license back after 10 years.

The last 10 years have been the most un-effected I've felt in my life.

I'm currently 7 months pregnant with my 2nd child and my health has all come crumbling down again. I've been put on awful drugs; daily injections; and blood thinners. Each has its own purpose and each is working but it just busted the 'healthy' bubble that I blown around myself.

Now, I'm trying not to feel low and depressed about this whole thing. I've got maybe 3-4 years before I need to go in and have the next heart surgery, and meanwhile my family has to keep going without me for that time.

I know I'm getting way ahead of myself but I can't help it.

It's just the way I am, I'm a big worrier.
