Having a rough time!!! Bit of a vent.

Hi
Can anyone give me some advice please.
A bit of my story -
At 11 weeks my Bp went up and I have been on Aldomet ever since (1 , three times aday). Then my thyroid started to play up (I have Hypothyroid)so my thyroxine has been added to, then I get told that I have an irritable uterus - they don't know what is causeing it as all tests that the Dr did were negative and now the most recent was a 4 day hospital visit because my BP went up (even on the pills). The Dr has now doubled the aldomet and things have settled down. To top everything off I have depression and I am takeing Zoloft to help me get through all this.
These days I feel like I rattle when I walk.

I keep on being told to rest (restrict your activity). I have been resting for most of the pregnancy and things still have gone wrong. Will resting really help???

I know it is selfish of me but sometimes I just wish the Dr will tell me that in a couple of weeks (when bub is strong enough to survive out in the world) he will enduce me.
I really want this baby but I am starting to feel like telling the Dr " enough is enough".

If anything else goes wrong I don't know how I am going to get through it.

Thanks for reading my vent.
Cheers
Chris

Oh sweetheart,
I have no advice to share with you, except, please, please try and keep your little one cooking as long as you can. It sounds like a tough road you are on, but in the end it is the best that any of us can do.

Chris - I really hope things brighten up for you - and don't feel bad about thinking about induction I'm sure that you're just worried about the baby's well being and taking so many meds can really play with your mind.

Try and take some time for yourself and take each day as it comes - maybe you need to change the ticker to one that calculates in days - I think it's a lot less daunting when you you look at in days - especially when its well under 100 days

Thanks Helen, Betty and Dianna
I am just hanging in there and think if I told DH how I am feeling would freak him out. With 2 kids at home and feeling frustrated that I can't do much with them is getting to me. I am tired all the time from the Aldermet as I am on 1500mg a day (500, three times a day).

I am trying to be positive and I look at each day as it comes (and cross it off the list). I feel that I am letting this little one down as it is me that is the problem, Pip is healthy and growing well. My body is the big problem.

Thanks for the they really help.

Cheers
Chris
