hi ladies, well...i don't even know where to begin...there is sooo much going on in my life right now, i am unempolyed due to leaving my job because of anxiety, my parents (who i dh, and ds live with) are on a 2 month vacation and dh is working like 70 hours a week, so i'm home all alone all day....i found out i have placenta previa which is bad and complicates my pregnancy deeply (see previous post about pregancy problems), and i was trying to ween off of my zyprexa (which was given to me for anxiety) since my anxiety had seemed to have gotten better...

hey Heather, I feel for you. It's tough being at home all of the time with a baby, especially when you hate being left alone. i am in the same situation. I find that having msn messenger really helps me, there is usually always someone on so if you need to talk, you can. If you have msn messenger, let me no.... i will add you to my contacts. i am home all day so if you needed to talk, I am always here, if you dont have messenger, you should get it. I hope you start feeling better soon, and good luck with the baby, I am praying for you!!! <3 Kindra.

I am definetly glad to hear that you are feeling better, even if it is only a little bit. Dont feel bad about being moody and negative, we all have those days, and with all of the stress that you are dealing with, it is only normal. No one can be positive all of the time, that's why there are support groups like this, let us be positive for you!! :)

Sorry you're feeling so down, Heather. I would imagine that with all you've been through, being depressed sort of goes with the territory. I hope that you can keep as busy as you're allowed physically & can get some resolution to your financial burdens & the disability from work. You're in a tough spot. My T&P's are with you. (((hugs))) jan

hey sheriann, no i'm not on bedrest yet...thank God...i'm anxious about the anxiety that being on bed rest will cause...hmmmm....


it really helps me to work out and to keep active, and i'm scared i'll be on bedrest soon, and placenta previa often results in bed rest...if i have ANY bleeding i will be put on bed rest, and if the bleeding is severe i would be put on bed rest in the hospital...nice hugh?


cause i don't have enought to worry about...


ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!


but...i'm doing good now, and am still working out (althought its not very hard, i don't break a sweat)


i read somewhere that bleeding often doesnt' start until the 2nd half of pregnancy due to the increased pressure on the cervix,
