MAJOR Stress during pregnancy.

[gingergrltea]

I am in my last few months of pregnancy. I am so stressed not like oh I lost my job the kids are running around kind. its major stress, to the point I am depressed, I hate my significant other he is emotionally abusive. I have gestational diabietes,I am taking synthroid. I am worried my daughter is going to be messed up from this. I cry every night fight with a typical man. Its all so stressful.

I was taking fish oil with my other pregnany's this one I have not as my doctor said not to take with synthroid,as it is bad,and can cause me to bleed. So even there I feel its to late to give her the proper brain development,and what is the point taking it now.

I have never had post baby blues but I have a feeling I will. I am scared someone any advice. This scares me so bad. I just want it to all be ok for this baby growing.

I've been on Levoxyl for years (a variation of Synthroid - following cancer in 2007) and I wonder if your numbers are way off.  Feeling really stressed, depressed, emotional, etc can be a side effect of both being too hyper and too hypo.  When was the last time you had your thyroid blood work-up?

FWIW, I got cancer after my first kid and had my second while taking daily Levoxyl.  It's not harmful to fetal development as long as your TSH is within the proper framework.  IE, being too hyper and/or hypo can be problematic for development.  It might be worth a call to your care provider.

Additionally, I am not a care provider, but I've never heard that you can't have fish oil while taking thyroid synthetics.  It might be worth asking again.

Good luck to you.  It *does* sound like a lot of stress.

I take Levoxyl and my CNM recommends all of her pregnant mamas have a TSH level below 2.0.
