I'm struggling.
I am really struggling lately and I need to vent. I'm almost 29 weeks and already very tired. My body hurts and I've been having contractions for the last week. I went to labor and delivery where they said I was having strong contractions, but my cervix is still closed so luckily they dont seem to be preterm labor contractions. All tests came back normal. No UTI, normal blood sugar despite GD, and no amniotic fluid leak.
I am just so overstressed. With all of the COVID-19 stuff that is happening, and I'm still working, and I was diagnosed with GD, and we're currently filing bankruptcy because my husband's checks are being garnished, and I have a 1 year old who is going through a very clingy phase. If I'm not right by him or holding him he screams at the top of his lungs and throws major fits. My husband and I work opposite shifts so even though he helps watch him in the mornings, I'm completely on my own in the evenings/bedtime while he's at work. And that's AFTER my work day... I'm exhausted. I can't keep up. I want it all to stop and it just keeps piling and piling.
I want to quit my job so bad, but we can't afford it. I just need something to be removed from my plate right now or I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. With all of this stress I'm sure I'm harming my baby. How do I get through this???
