Ok I know this seems like a stupid question but for all that think so go screw yourselves!!
My husband was attacked by three men on Oct 11th, I watched them kicking him in the face with steel toe boots. The only thing he suffered was a broken jaw! We went to the hospital and they were not equipped to handle the surgery so reffered us to a hospital an hour away.
We got to the other hospital Sunday around 8 a.m.after trying to get my husband some sleep at home from 2 am till 5 am… Once at the other hospital they scheduled him for surgery Monday morning at 7a.m. After surgery we stayed another night and released Tuesday around 1 p.m.
Now that we have the jist of what happened here is my ordeal! I am 16 weeks pregnant and just gotten out of the hospital myself Thursday night, before the incident with my husband happened, in Preterm Labor!
I was released at 5:30 a.m Friday! we Slept Friday night 10 p.m. til 11 a.m. Saturday.
Saturday I had around 15 minutes of sleep, Sunday I slept for about 30 mins, and Monday I got about 2 hours of sleep, Tuesday at home I got about 20 mins of sleep, and now tonight Wednesday i got about an hour! so in total 4 hours and about 10 mins or so in what 5 days!
On top of no sleep we stay at his parents house for now we just moved to their area about 3 months ago… They haven’t even lifted a finger to help their son they came to the hospital a total of 5 hours out of 3 in a half days! And now at home they wont allow me so rest, or help with their son they expect me to have all the energy in the world… I am also having to clean up where they cook and eat in the kitchen.
The QUESTION IS Could all this stress and lack of sleep and emotional distress cause me to miscarry, I haven’t been feeling the baby move at all for the past 3 days and I have been feeling him since I was 14 weeks! I haven’t had any bleeding, I have some lower abdominal discomforting like a pulled muscle… What are some good solutions to help me relax, and catch up on sleep. another added information, my husband sleeps for about 20 mins at a time and awake for about an hour so sleeping when he sleeps is out of the question i try and it just aggrevates the both of us cause he is hurting and needs stuff and he has to try getting me awake with his jaw wired shut!
Please give me some kind of advice help something words of wisdom…. ANYTHING I’M DESPERATE!!!
stress is not good for any of you. but your out of the risky time zone now.
easier said than done but try to relax.. if you cant sleep.. the more you try to force yourself to, the worse it can get..
if you are waking up frequently during the night or just cant sleep.. get up and make a milky drink.. watch a little tv.. (not an action film etc) and then try to go back to bed
if you are waking eachother up.. would it be possible to sleep in different rooms just for this time.. until you break the rut you are both in?
try to relax in the evenings.. put your feet up and watch tv.. have a milky drink.. cut out all caffiene after about 6pm.
as for how things are being left down to you.. could you ask for moe help of them?. if its not possible.. try to get into a routine where you clean up.. then you have your own time to relax.. like a last clean up at 8pm and the evening is yours?
if you are still really struggling ask your midwife or doctor for some advice!

It appears that common hassles at work are more likely to cause you to have problems sleeping than long hours, night shifts or job insecurity.
