Q: Stress during Pregnancy.
asked by: Mariee2009 on September 15th, 2009

I really need some help dealing with the stress Ive been going through. It just doesnt seem to go away. My boyfriend just lies and lies, and I cant stand it! Sometimes I just feel like I cant be with him anymore. But I am pregnant with his child and I dont know what to do. He doesnt seem to have any concern for my feelings. He knows this stress is bad for me, but he just doesnt care! I really need some help, guidance, because I feel like Im going through this whole thing by myself...

Hi Marie,

I'm so sad to hear that you are still getting stress from your boyfriend. When are you due? Is there anywhere else you can stay? I know you are pregnant but maybe a break from him would be good for both of you. It also might make him think twice about the way he is treating you. I know you are both very young and though it's not an excuse to treat you the way he has been during the pregnancy, maybe he's dealing with the stress of becoming a father at such a young age in his own way. Again, not that it's right but some people just don't know how to communicate and deal with stressful situations so they take it out on the closest victim, which is you.

Well, I am considering moving out of his house for a while. See, we live with his parents, and his little sister is very rude toward me, and causes alot of stress for me. They are upset that I am moving out, but I told them theres more than me that I have to worry about, I have to worry about my baby. The only reason they even want me living here is so that they can feel in charge of my childs life. I cant let that happen. I have to be in charge of my childs life, no one else can. I just hope things get a little less stressful...

Marie,

I think you're making a wise decision to move out and remove yourself and the baby from a stressful situation. You are so mature for your age and I think you're going to be a wonderful mother. You are already looking out for your baby and putting him/her ahead of the guy in your life. Most girls your age and even older would just stay and live with the stress. Where will you go? When are you due? How does your bf feel about you moving out?

Hi mariee,im sure your probably expecting a lecture from me but im not going to that Smile.I think age doesnt play apart in this situation,All men even when they agree to have a baby with a woman become very anxious when its acctually becoming a reality,I think its good your moving out and giving yourself options now rather than when you have a baby to house too i agree very sensible decision and i guess that my earlier opinions where not correct when i see you thinking of your baby,Im sure once your bf see's the baby and holds him he will calm down,im having a boy too i only have 9 weeks to go!!!.Im very excited now good luck Smile
