I am praying for you and your daughter. Take it easy hon and pamper yourself. Spend time in prayer. I know you are Catholic and it is weird but I caught a show on EWTN today and the women were discussing a difficult pregnancy. The mother to be knew Mother Theresa and ask her to pray for her. Mother gave her a medal and told her to say a simple prayer. "Mary mother of God please come be a mother to me and my child now." The mother to be was on complete bed rest also. Her daughter was born healthy. Prayer is our greatest weapon and brings us into our Lord's throne room. It also is a great stress reliever.
Please let us know how you are doing.
Hugs and love.
Amy

My first child was just 5 lbs, 5 oz when born and he was healthy. I'm sorry that you're going through so much stress. I am praying for you.

Thank you ther3se for checking in. I have been wondering how you were doing hon. Prayer is comforting and I am glad I caught that show to be able to share that prayer with you. God works wonders and miracles in even the weird coincidences we run into.

I am glad your baby has gained weight and is healthy! Now she just needs to say hi to the world.  Your asking for prayer is not being an alarmist. The Holy Spirit led you to ask us to pray. There was a reason for it. We may not know what that reason was until we meet our Lord but there was one. Alanon is a good group to get involved with. They will help you learn about addiction, set boundaries and they will offer support. You should find out if they offer alatot for your children since this is affecting them. They may not know all the ins and outs of sexual addiction but all addictions follow the same general principles. Codependency is part of being in a relationship with an addict. The group will help you focus on those behaviours and give you positive ways to change them and how to deal with the addict in your life. |

I know you don't have much time but I thought you might be interested in this YouTube series by Fr. Rippenger. It's on generational spirits. He even talks about porn and how it affects the entire family. It looks like it's a 3 part series. I am listening to the 2 part now.

Baby girl is here! It was a fast and furious labor that had a slightly troubling ending, but we're both still here and healthy and safe. So praise God and thank you again for your prayers! Now that she's here, hopefully I can check in more often here, and help where I'm able. Thank you ladies for checking in with me and praying. Amy, I haven't checked out the video yet, but it's on my to-do list as I'm on bedrest for the rest of the week. It sounds very enlightening. Thank you in advance for sharing! Praise God! May your recovery go well and may your baby continue to stay healthy my friend |

Praise God you are both healthy and safe! Your first priority is going to be taking care of your family. If you have time to check in, please do so but if you don't, we understand.
Get yourself rested and healed up from the delivery hon.

Hi there, have you told him how you are feeling with intimacy? I'm no doc, but it sounds like you definitely have PPD. I'm sorry that you're going through this all. All I can say is for now, being irritated with him might be your new normal. Give yourself time to heal and tell him how to help you since he is around more and sounds like he wants to serve you in some way. It might just be saying something like, "I need to eat, can you make me something?" or "I need to rest, can you watch the kids for an hour?" or "I need to take a shower, etc.". Communication is so very important at this time. I'm glad that you're aware of your feelings toward him. I felt the same way sometimes with my husband so I just told him, "This is not a good time to be around me, I might say or do something mean. Stay away". Or other times I'll just say, "I feel sad. I just need to be with God." Sometimes he'd be afraid to come back home, sometimes I'd blow up and rant at him, but now, after 4 months, I've been more in control of my emotions and I go to God first before talking with my husband. And I know it hurts him to ask the same questions over and over again. Try to remember that you've just gone through some major relationship trauma and things are going to feel weird for awhile. That coupled with just giving birth is A LOT to process. Continue praying and seek quiet times to shut off the "chatter in your head" so that you can hear His voice. Some things that have helped me: - I put on praise music or just start talking to God telling Him how awesome He is. - Other times I'd listen to Patrick Doyle's talk shows on YouTube. - I've journaled a ton to get my thoughts out. - I text friends when I'm feeling really low. - I write down all the good things in my life that confirm God's goodness and His hand in my life. - I write down verses that give me hope for the future here on earth and in heaven. All I All those things help me to focus on Who is in control of it all. It also helps me to know that He feels the pain I feel, He feels the disgust that I feel, He feels the joy and the sadness that I feel because it's all written in His book. It brings me back to the truth: That God is good and the only One worthy of all my praise. He never lets me down, He never leaves me, He is always for me. Get some rest my friend. And give that baby a hug for me |

Lady has some good ideas and I agree with her that it sounds like you may have postpartum depression. Express your needs and maybe look into help for PPD.... medical or natural route.
