Help & Advice: Midlife crisis & uncertainty

Hello, I am 6 months pregnant and have been in a state of stress and panic for the last 3. I am 'hanging in there' whilst my husband decides whether we have a future together or not (this unexpectant pregnancy has sparked off a 'midlife crisis' in him and he's struggling with feelings for a much younger woman on the side).

Normally i would be stronger however for our bub's sake i'm still waiting around. This is having an adverse effect on me - i am hardly sleeping, i'm on the verge of tears and feel depair.

Is there anything you can recommend - at least to let me sleep? i understand sleeping tablets are not an option during pregnancy. Thank you very much Sonya

Hello Sonya,I would suggest you use Rock rose, Bach flower remedy, to help with the panic, prolonged worry and exhaustion. Take a drop under the tongue every few hours.

Also take Ignatia at night before bed for 10 days. This will help you cope emotionally.

I know you are under a lot of stress and are concerned for the future however you must think of yourself and your baby in the moment. Life has a way of throwing all kinds of stuff at us when we least expect it. There is nothing you can do about that but you can do something about the way you react to it.

Whatever your husband decides to do you still have to give birth and bring up your baby. Focus on this and let things take their course, it will anyway. Your husband may wake up and sort himself out and if he does you can decide what it is you want.

If not then you have to get on with it, difficult as it maybe. You must nourish yourself and the baby with good thoughts about positive outcomes, hard as it this might be.

Try not to think about all the heartbreaking possibilities that your imagination can so readily produce. Take each day as it comes. Practice some regular breathing exercises such as slow breathing, one breath in every 6 seconds, one breath out every 6 seconds, for a few minutes 2 or 3 time a day as this will calm and nourish.

Maybe the time has come for you to learn how to meditate? Look after yourself and trust everything will OK with or without your husband.

I hope this helps

Kind regards
