I feel completely broken
At the end of this week I found out that I won't be able to even try to be at PIR, my doctor has placed me on strict complete bed rest. I can't even go to school or anything. ( good thing we are approaching finals, as long as I have my doctor's note, I can turn in my work and show up on final exam day and still make my semester.) My mother moved into my apartment to help me get along, and I can't believe this is happening to me. I have to go through this alone, I feel like I am idk. I don't even want to even want him to call at this point because I don't think I'd be able to hold it all in anymore, since I haven't mentioned my health or how difficult this pregnancy has been so far. I know he'll call his mom if he can't reach me, I just told her to lie for me. I don't want this to affect his performance on his last 11 days.
My ultrasound also proved that what we thought was boy parts was maybe just something else, so gender is still up in the air officially.
It's nice to get this stuff of my chest, I don't like breaking down in front of people so sharing is still nice.

At this point being a bit of a pessimist, my doctor has told to prepare myself for the real possibility of a stillborn if it looks like I might go into labor. SO I'm not even thinking about a baby, and I know that's horrible but it hurts already. Relocating? I'm not sure, to think about how I am in the worst situation I've ever been in and my mother is here for me. It doesn't seem that appealing to move away from my strongest support system to just be alone while he's gone somewhere else (deployment wise). His A-school is in Pensacola for 18 weeks, We are both originally from FL already so I wouldn't have to go anywhere till his schooling is over.
I forgot to say thank you:)

I am so sorry! Praying that you are able to carry the baby to term, and that you don't feel so overwhelmed and alone! This is one of the hardest parts of being a woman, the risk (or reality) of losing a child, and it's one of the hardest parts of being in a military relationship, having to face these things without your Sailor....
We're all here for you, whenever you need to get anything off your chest! -
