1st Trimester
Not turning out the to be the greatest of pregnancies...(vent)
Sorry, long vent.
I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks before I lost my (very well-paying) job due to lay-offs. Unemployed was not how I wanted to spend my pregnancy. I started applying everywhere, and finally just 3 weeks ago was able to get hired at Sears. The night I had started training, Someone broke into my house, and I was sexually assaulted. Thank god the baby is fine. Unfortunately, I had unexplained bleeding and had to go on bedrest until at least the first of October.
Fast forward to today, I get a call from Sears letting me know that I would be unable to work for the company because I missed the required 3 weeks of training. Thanks. And my grandparents, instead of being supportive, have not spoken to me or my BF since we told them I was pregnant. So on top of not being able to sleep in my own home, I have no place to stay when I need to. They won't return my phone calls or anything. They think I am "ruining my life."...I have a degree in Pastry Arts. We have a house. We have cars. Granted, marriage before baby would probably have been better, but we are perfectly capable of providing for a baby!
Sorry, but sitting here on the couch gives me just way too much time to brood on things I shouldn't brood on.

Wow. That is certainly a series of events.
Good luck to you.
OMG! ((((hugs)))) Thank goodness the baby is OK. It has to be difficult not having support from your grandparents especially when you need them at this time right now. You can reach out over here, the women here are very supportive.
Please take care of you and the baby. (((hugs)))
Aw, that sounds awful!
Hopefully your grandmother will come around soon and see that any baby is a blessing, marriage or no.
Whether you feel like it now or not, you are blessed. Good luck to you!
I am so so sorry for everything that has happened to you and surprised your grandparents are behaving like that. Please reach out the this site for support if need be. My first pregnancy too was terrible and my DD did eventually pass away. I felt like I was in a state of terror for over a year. However, the only thing I can say is that life goes on. We went on to have another DD and I am currently pregnant with #3. I know I will never be my normal self I was before my first pregnancy but I can say that in this new normal state of mine I still have moments of joy and happiness.
Also please don't be afraid to talk to a counselor. That is the best thing we did for ourselves after DD#1 passed away and I recommend it to everyone. Sometimes it really does help to talk to someone who is a trained professional.
Yuck! Sorry this has been such a bad time for you.
How is everything going with your BF? How about his family?
Yup. And based on some other previous posts I'm not sure how much of it is true. I guess it could be, but I am somewhat skeptical.
I knew that there would be some ladies here that wouldn't believe me. I did get my sex drive back last week, almost 3 weeks after this happened. My BF didn't do this to me, it's not his fault. And you can still have something like this happen to you and get a cold. I have been trying to keep myself busy, but my BF suggested today that maybe if I post something here I would feel a little better. Did you ever try to pretend something didn't happen?
