Too much happening

I am currently just under 31 weeks pregnant and the past week has killed me a little in side. So firstly my uncle died last Tuesday. It was expected but not as quickly as it happened, I get a phone call later that day that I need to start taking metformin for gestational Diabeties, great another drug I have to force into my body. Already having to inject blood thinners daily. The day after this, my dad gets diagnosed with prostate cancer. Just being monitored for now as mild but with all his other health conditions/problems, if it were to get worse he wouldn’t handle/want treatment. My mum who had a stroke 2 years ago who doesn’t remember me at all. I want to be excited the fact that I’ve got a new bundle of joy on the way but with everything else I can’t be, I am not sleeping or eating correctly and have lost 1/2 stone in a week. I feel so drained the whole time and to be honest just want to curl up in a corner somewhere and be left to it. But I can’t do that either as have two other children to take care of. Is there anywhere I can go for help before this gets to out of control. Because it just feels like it’s all an uphill battle at the moment that I am losing constantly. Please help

I'm so sorry that you didn't get any replies to this @Gojo85.

That's such a lot to deal with Flowers
