I think that our bodies understand how much stress can harm us, and in every day life we tend to hide these emotions away, trying to ignore them, or atleast put them away to deal with later. but in pregnancy if can cause deeper problems.and I think our bodies sense this, and so the hormones serve a purpose of making us release those emotions that we would rather not release hah. In so doing, a good cry and sometimes yelling out our frustrations really helps. it may make you feel like a total dork, and nuisance, but I think its really for our own good, and makes us face those dark corners. When you are pregnant, you really are more vulnerable and sensitive to things, and it also helps our men see how helpless we feel, and it helps them to be a little more in touch with the way we feel. In most cases (if approached in the right way) it releases their own instincts to shelter and protect us(which is what every guy wants to be able to do for the girl he loves. and when hard times like this hit, he feels less able to do his job to protect you, and almost useless.)it can help to strengthen your relationship, if it is used in the right way. As far as the money problems go, I haven't gone through the same situation, but we have definitely had our fair share of money problems, and scares. There have been times that we just didnt know where the money was going to come from, and your life just feels like it is spinning out of control, and you can't show certain aspects of your life the attention that they need and deserve. I'm afraid all you can do is pray, and strive to persevere. I dont work either, I stay home with my 2 year old, and there are times I feel so useless because I dont go out and work. but my husband loves the fact that I stay home, and that I take care of our most important treasure. our son. instead of having someone else raise him. while the weight can be hard on his shoulders to carry at times, he loves the fact that he is able to go out and do what he can for his family, and bring in the money for us. he takes pride in the good work he does, and the pride that his wife and kids hold for him. And if you keep it up, and just do the best you can, which is all anyone can do, then everything will work out. Keep a prayer in your heart, and your chin up. if you give up hope, everything will fall apart. you just gotta keep going. and in the end, it will make you stronger people, and a stronger family. be strong sweety, you have my prayers, and I hope all works out for you soon.
