 i guess i really am alone:(..so worried...

I am sorry to hear that you worry, but negative thoughts will not make anything better.

I am one of these (annoying) women who always thinks happy thoughts. I am fat and 45, and should have worried throughout my last pregnancy, but did not. All went well, and she is healthy and beautiful.

Worrying is using your imagination to create something you do not want.

 thank you for your response it little hard not to worry with so much going wrong...this whole pregnancy has been a disaster and i am completly alone no one to talk to but you ladies...so i appreciate any advice. Is gestational diabetes really bad??? im mostly worried cuz my body keeps gettn infections and it isnt fighting them off even with meds and im worried what might do to the baby and if it is cuz diabetes and if its not...then what is going on....im worried for me..n my baby....i go to dr again today and tomorrow is my scan so i hope to be put to ease that all this crap happening isnt hurtn the baby...i used to be all happy thoughts idk why ive been so depressed with this pregnancy other than like said..its been horrible from the beginning..just when one things gets better something else goes wrong and idk how much more i can handle or the baby for that matter....wouldnt be too bad if didnt have contractions so early too....i can handle the infections but all of this together just has me worried and frankly my dr too...which doesnt help when ur dr seems concerned but still doesnt really talk to you bout it all....

Hi I have never been in your situation before but if I were you I would get a new doctor asap! You obviously have something going on that is not normal and they should be addressing your concerns. I am a Nurse and while I don't work with pregnant women it is our job to take care of patients both physically and mentally and this stress is not good for you, your kids or your baby. And if you are at risk for Gestational Diabetes why did they not talk to you about this? This can be serious if not handled correctly and your doctor should be teaching you about it and monitoring you closely. Do you have any friends or family that can help with your kids? This is too much for you to handle on your own! I really hope you get some answers soon, being pregnant is hard enough without all this going on. Good luck and I hope the remainder of your pregnancy is better!

 I take the diabetes test next monday got to drink that drink and hope and pray its negative. Im on multiple more antibiotics now for all these infectiosn and rashes and a cream so hopefully i can finnaly kick it all and just have a happy final pregnancy...found out today its another boy...little down but none the less more than happy that hes perfectly healthy and only measuring behind by a few days nothing big...:)..

And i agree i need new dr but i had hard enough time gettn this one....i have nothing for easn the pain and itchiness but right now my biggest concern is the diabetes im tryn to stay away from sugars and what not just incase...cant hurt to be safe even if it is what im craving lol...

I had gestational diabetes. Just watched my diet carefully and tried to walk daily. It does tend to make you feel sluggish and tired but i had my dh pitch in whelp out with daily chores. HTH!

 Hi lillith sorry to hear things are going well for you. I had to do the GD test with my DS drinking lucazade at 8.30am in the morning isnt the best thing! I also had a skin disorder called Pupps which is a rash that starts in your stretch marks and spreads all over your body. Its an allergy to babies DNA so when he was out i was on steriods which meant i had to stop breast feeding so was a huge stress. Baby had an enlarged kidney and i also had polyhydramnios which is too much fluid and could have resulted in cord polapse so it was such a stress for us.

I hope your tests come back negative, pregnancy can be stressfull but you are a life line for your baby and what your doing is an amazing thing. My DP called me a people carrier  when i was pregnant which made me giggle. Your baby needs you so i hope you can get some rest and enjoy what you are doing. Its an amazing job thats why god made us woman do it...because we are amazing :)

 O my, I hope that is not what my rash is....All they can tell me..without actually takn skin samples is it seems to resemble a yeast skin rash but yet they cant seem to explain why it wont go away when in the same sentence tell me the meds I have been on should of killed the rash with in the first two days of taking it....I find out tomorrow wether or not i go in for more testing for the GD, that drink was disgusting and I feel sick today and am unusure if it was the drink or if i have the flu now or if it is my infection...I am becoming very paranoid i guess..i cant wait to hear some good news about my body lol, so happy and relieved baby is perfect but would be nice not to have issues with my body for once.

 Yes! I had to have my cervix tied with both of my pregnancies because I have a shortened cervix. My pregnancy with my DD was perfect--nothing wrong except a little case of gestational diabetes (which was very controllable).

 My DS--I have to take insulin shots, got an infection from the cervix operation, he had cysts in his brain, I coudln't sleep, couldn't concentrate, got a scare for trisomy 18, his HR would fluxuate out of control, yeast infections galore, U/S every week, monitor his HR every week, he had to spend a week in the hospital etc. I'm sure there is more, but I try not to think about it. :)

 Hang in there. I have found that through the difficulty with my little man, he turned out to be the biggest sweetheart there is :) Although, he was very difficult the first year of his life (colicky, horrible sleep patters, wouldn't eat but get constipated). 

Anyway, once you're past all of that--it is worth it. All I did was concentrate on the day. I couldn't control much, but just tried to concentrate on the moment. I know how you are feeling and it really stinks but there is a rainbow after the cloud, I promise! My little guy is a happy and health almost two year old.
