Q: My Fiance Had a Heart Attack!!!!

Yep....and he is only 28 years old!! Shocked

The last few days have been just CRAZY!!! Stephens been 4 hours away in hospital in Melbourne (only picked him up today). Wasnt allowed to go with him because i am pregnant.

My baby shower was on the weekend not that i enjoyed it too much. Grace has been rolling around like crazy in there making me very uncomfortable.

Start my birthing classes tomorrow night and stephen doesnt feel up too going so i have to go on my own ( cant b**ch and moan, he did just have a heart attack). Dont see the point in asking a friend to go with me when there not even going to be in the delivery room.

All up my life really sucks right about now!!! i think i've just hit breaking point and all i want to do is cry my eyes out!!! Crying or Very sad

This wasnt ment to be a boohoo post but it ended up that way!!

Thanks for reading!
Shar

Wow. I'm so sorry. Sad

You have had a pretty intense week, from the sound of things.

Do they know what caused his heart attack? How is he doing now?

Feel free to cry away if you think that will make you feel better. You know we are here for you.

I'm sorry to hear that he had a heart attack? How is he doing? Don't feel bad that you are "crying". That much stress would make anyone cry.

Hes doing ok now, a bit touchy, one minute hes smiling the next he looks like the whole world has come down on him. Sad

There is a family history of heart attacks on his mums side of the family but none of us ever thought for a moment that it would happen at such a young age.

I dont know how i am going to cope with all of this!! He is my rock and with Gracie on the way....ahhhhhh!!!!

Yeah, got heaps of gifts!! alot of them were hand me downs like toys, blankets, wraps etc. Scored a pretty awsome change table out of it so that was good, one less thing that i have to purchase.

After i wrote the post i went and had a shower and let go and had a cry. Stephen was in bed asleep so i know he wouldnt have heared me. Dont feel any better though. I'm very tired but too afraid to go to bed cause i'm scared that i might hurt him or something (stupid i know).

Any who thanks for replying!! means so much to me at this moment!!

Glad he's okay, that must have been so scary! After we graduated highschool, Shane went into the Airforce.. Well a month & a half or so into basic training he had what they called a minor heart attack. They said it was from stress & another month or so later he was medically discharged. He was only 20 at the time! It's very very scary so I know kinda what you're going through!

I really hope that he is feeling better and that you are feeling better.

Everything sucks when you are close to the end of your pregnancy.

I miss it though..... Enjoy it while you can.

I am so sorry to hear he had a heart attack. That is a really hard thing to deal with, especially if you are pregnant and things are so scary and new as it is!

You can still bring a friend with you to the birthing class to make you more comfortable even if they won't be in the delivery room. If it helps ease you into the class/if you are nervous, there is no reason why you can't bring someone just to calm your nerves a bit. If you don't mind going alone, then go for it!

Thank you so much to everyone for their replys!!

He had a damaged artery so i'm assuming thats serious. Dont ask him too many questions because he starts getting uptight. His mother has had 3 heart attacks so far, first one was when she was in her early 40's i think.

I am due around xmas and that will be here before you know it. There is so much to do and i cant do it all on my own. I'm worried that i am putting to much strain on the baby but if i dont do it....who will???

Thanks again everyone!

thanks girls!!

He has to change his whole way of life and for a person who is not a big fan of change its going to be really hard for him. its going to be hard for me too, i have to sit back a watch him struggle through this cause there is very little else i can do for him.

We went into town today to get some groceries, by the end of it i was so out of breath and Grace had a foot jammed up against my rib cage. Then when we got home i had to take them out of the car ( he's not allowed to pick up or carry anyting for atleast 2 weeks).

I just want to scream out "WHY NOW?"
