Heartbreak during pregnancy

@Mleighton

I get that you are not ready to tell people, but this baby is coming soon, and you need support, help and understanding and your family will want nothing more than to help you!

It's a very emotional time for you, and to add everything into the mix that is going on with your husband.

We all need help 💜💖

I wish I could find the right words to alleviate, even just a little, the pain you carry.

I'll make the effort, you deserve it.

The only thing I see throughout everything you've said, beyond the inexplicable denials of beautiful blessings like you and the child you're carrying, It is the resistance, capacity, and strength with which you live. I know it seems contradictory given how you must be feeling right now, but it's precisely because you're still breathing, still asking yourself all these questions, Speaking here, thinking about the future, is how you demonstrate your ability.

I know that what I offer is just words, and that you deserve more than that. As long as you continue with the intention and action of doing things right, of not giving up, believe me, you will be a greatest mother. The strongest person I know is my own mother, four children, alone. The willpower that you women possess is beautifully incredible. As long as you keep that flame alive, everything will be alright.

I'm sending you a big hug. Keep breathing. Keep fighting. ☺️

I’m so sorry you’re going through something this painful, especially so late in your pregnancy. Having your husband say he wants to end the marriage after ten years is a shock no one could ever be prepared for, and everything you’re feeling right now makes perfect sense. You imagined a future, a family, traditions, and a joyful birth together, and it hurts deeply to feel that slipping away. Please remember that your baby is not being harmed by your emotions. You love your child, and that love is already protecting them. You’re allowed to cry. You’re allowed to grieve. You’re allowed to feel lost.

It’s also okay that the excitement you once had feels gone. Your world has shifted in just a few days. Joy can come back in its own time, and it doesn’t make you any less ready or any less capable of being a wonderful mother. You don’t have to do everything alone. Even if your support system feels small, you and your baby will still create your own warm, loving world together. It may look different from what you imagined, but different can still be beautiful. Sending you hugs 🫂, you are not alone.

Im just wondering what happened to your husband all of a sudden? Or had the tension been brewing for a while?

Your dreams are so beautiful... the idea of parents loving their child is so rich....i wish your husband can come on board ... he'd be the one missing out truly....

I feel what you feel for your baby.. they deserve joy... and youre right the baby in your womb can feel your tears and is probably crying with you....thats how deeply the bond between the mother and baby is designed....

I pray for you dear friend/ sister .. may you and your baby find strength and joy, no matter how life rolls ahead.....love you 💛✨️

@Mleighton

Thank you everyone for all the kind words. You have no idea how much they mean to me right now. Thank you for all the love ❤️

@Mleighton

I'm really sorry you're going through this... I'm a teenager so I don't know much, but as someone who already wishes to grow up and have such a future, I can imagine that feeling leving you heartbroken ❤️

I felt really bad listening to this, I really hope you're okay 😢 did this happen so suddenly? You should ask your husband why he wants to leave, don't just think it's the end so suddenly, not because it's your responsibility to comfort him, but because you deserve to know at the very least 🤍

And if it really ends that way, don't loose hope entirely, I know it'll feel bad, you're not wrong to feel bad, but don't forget to turn to the people who are by your side when it happens, lean on them for a while, take support if you need. 💚

And even then it doesn't mean it has to be the end, it's your choice, but you can calmly ask him if he's still willing to contribute to the baby's upbringing, because in the end, even if what you had between eachother fades (which I hope and wish to God that it won't), it's your both's baby, you can take equal responsibility.

But along all that, please just take care of yourself and the baby, wether it's eating healthy or something you like and enjoy, wether it's going somewhere you like or staying and resting at a place that feels secure, wether it's staying awake with your thoughts or getting a good night's sleep, wether it's sitting without anything to do or doing just about anything you like or what would make you feel in control of the situation, wether it's finding comfort in your own heart or in the people who're around you...

Hope everything turns out to be okay in the end ❤️🤞🏻🍀

Sending love and support on behalf of all members and listners of seven cups 💕🙃 I imagine them all agreeing ❤️‍🩹

@Mleighton@Mleighton Hi there. I wish I knew the right words to say to comfort you and make you feel better. All I have to offer is my empathy and to say that me, like others who commented, heard you and feel for you. I felt profound pain and sadness reading your post. I cannot imagine what you are going through, to feel so close to the happiness you dreamed of only to have it abruptly taken off you. 

It is going to be difficult and painful at first but you can still have the happy relationship with your child but its going to be different than you imagined and wanted it to be. It is going to be so heartbreaking but in heartbreak, we grow strong, we love stronger, and you have within you all you need to bring this wonderful child to this world, love this child, and be the happy family for your child. 

May God be a helping hand to you and your child.

@Mleighton I’m so sorry you’re going through something this painful, especially at a time when you should be feeling supported and excited. What you’re feeling makes sense anyone in your position would be heartbroken and scared. But please know this, you are not failing, and you are not alone right now. Even in all this uncertainty, you’re still showing so much love and strength for your baby. You don’t have to figure everything out at once. Just take things one breath at a time, one day at a time. There will be support for you, and you will not face motherhood without help. For now, just be gentle with yourself. You deserve that kindness.
