My 13 year old nephew hung himself early march. and died a few days later. My 46 year old cousin died a week later of complications to diabetes. Two weeks later my uncle died of a heart attack. And about three weeks ago my husbands cousin (my friend from high school) also hung himself and died. Then to top it off, yesterday I saw a man get run over in the middle of the street. HE lived but it was still very traumatic!

Now I'm starting to have nightmares about my loved ones who are still living dieing tragically. They are very vivid dreams and they wake me in the middle of the night. I've had three in the past week. Should I see a Dr.?

I'm also pregnant and am afraid this will effect my pregnancy.

Ask Jesus Christ into your life and let Him rule and reign over your life. He will comfort you, He will guide you through your pregnancy, He will never leave you, nor forsake you. He will removethose nightmares and He will give you peace of mind.

Jesus said "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

That means He takes care of you and your problems all you have to do is trust Him."

Go to BGEA.org or harvest.org they have materials that can help you with your problems. May God richly bless you and guide you through this storm.

You've been through alot and need to be very gentle with yourself. seeing an understanding doctor will help. I had 2 suicides in my family. It is NOT a cowardly act but happens when depression is so overwhelming. The brain can't think straight because of very low dopermine levels. Youre really finding out how strong u really are but get help for yourself and the baby.
Death and birth are natural on this planet, and remember, you'll see them all again one day and they are all in a nice beautful safe place.The nightmares will stop, life will go on and you'll be a stronger wiser person for it.I went thru 5 family deaths in 2 years so I kinda know what you're going thru.
good luck

I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you! But try to think of your baby instead of what has happened. I do not believe that having those nightmares will affect your baby. But after seeing what has happened to all of your close ones and that man across the street. . .it will make you probably a little more than over protective for your baby. Which is really good unless you're overdoing it. But your baby will understand that you are doing it because you love him or her. Since you are having nightmares maybe dream of other things such as happy things. Or do something to forget about all of your close ones that have died. Sooner or later you will forget about it. But don't completely forget about them because you love them. and Maybe you should see a doctor and talk to him or her about your dreams. He or she could really help you.

Yes see a doctor, he might refer you to see a councilor. I know all these things are tragic, and suicide is a really cowardly thing to do. You can't live in fear of people dying we all do eventually, you have to live each day and enjoy your life and that of your new baby, you have friends and family that are more important than anything else. Let yourself be happy and don't let this take over your life. talk to someone maybe do a yoga or relaxation class to help you sleep a little better. Good Luck

You need to discuss your stress, what has triggered it, how it's manifesting and your concerns about it in regards to your pregnancy and your own physical health with your OB.

If your next OB appointment is more than a week away, schedule an appointment to discuss it with your Primary Care Physician, instead. (An extra OB appointment to discuss something that's not a complication OF pregnancy may not be covered by your insurance.) Then, inform your OB as to what's going on, and what your PCP has recommended, at your next OB appointment.

Either doctor can tell you if your stress is or could start affecting your pregnancy and either can refer you to someone who can help you find healthier ways to deal with what you've experienced.

I understand how you feel. When I was young, I lost my best friend in a car accident, my sister lost her good friend to butane gas, and my brother lost his good friend to heroin, all within 6 months. Death was starting to feel like a common occurrance in my life and it really made me question the meaning of life and death. I felt like death was around me all the time. But time does heal wounds of the heart. Although, with what you've been through, I would suggest you speak to a counsellor to get it out in the open and off your chest. Having someone to empathize with you will make you feel better. Hang in there and be strong. These experiences make you stronger in the end. You'll be ok.

This is nowhere close to yours, but first I found out I was pregnant. So happy!!! Then my best friend got leukemia, two weeks later my granny died, and then I lost the baby. I don't know if stress caused the miscarriage but please see your doctor. I am so sorry you are going through this, but please get help. I want you to be able to have a healthy baby. I didn't get that chance.

Yes, see a psychiatrist! That's a lot of grief in a short period of time and it will take its toll on you, in a major way! Anything that affects you affects your baby, so talking to someone will help both of you!! Good luck!!
