In need of prayer and guidance

[Icehowler]

Hi
I love to sit back and read your posts here and see the love you all seem to have for strangers, I have been watching now for some time and now my time has come....

I'm a dad to be(planed) and its really scaring me. My wife now seems to be having problems(medical) with it. I'm not the best Christain by any means, I do try but I'm just not that good at it. I know God isnt punishing us or anything and I know to trust in him and everything will be ok but Satan is holding no punches and tearing my heart to shreds.

I'm running a failing small business so money is very tight, I just feel so overwhelmed with everything, depression is starting to set in. I'm just so scared right now more than my wife knows.

I'm rambling sorry... my wife is 7 months and up to this point was doing fine but now is haveing alots of pain, burning, and pressure. We have a doctor that has a horrable bed side manner(we will never use them again) and some times causes more stress then cures.

We need your prayer right now, this is a very scary time for us and I know God is the only one that can help.

Hiya, Icehowler.

I can understand what a stressful time this is for you - you really are handling a whole lot more than anyone could cope with.

First of all, your wife needs you to be strong for her, and that is not going to happen if you go to pieces. So the very first priority is for you to see your doctor and ask for help. This is not giving in, it is being sensible. You may need someone to talk to, or you may need medication to help. Consider carefully whatever your doctor offers. The bottom line is you must do everything you can to keep your health.

Secondly, in relation to your wife and the baby. You say the doctor you saw had a bad manner. To be honest, that is not the important thing. The important thing is whether he is a good doctor or not. If you think he is not, then by all means change doctor. But if he is a good doctor, then set aside the personality issues. You do not have to be best friends.

Your wife is now at 7 months. This is good news, because the baby is well developed, and even if the complications develop further, it has a good chance. Once the doctors have assessed the situation fully they will be able to tell you if this is a serious situation or not. I hope it is not, but I will keep you all in my prayers meantime.

As for your business, well, times are hard for everyone at present. But you could do it before, and you can do it again. At present the stress you are feeling is in danger of overwhelming you. See your doctor, and get help with this. And then take a deep breath and carry on. If financial problems loom, go to talk with your bank at the earliest stage, and I am sure they will do their best to help you.

Overall, I think you are going to make a fine dad, and I wish you well.

God be with you.

So glad the baby is ok
I am praying for you and your wife
Catherineanne is right, you need to take care of yourself first, so that you can take care of your family. If you can talk to your doctor, it will robably help.
God bless
