Anyone else having a "what next?!" kind of pregnancy?

Aside from being very thankful for a healthy, active baby, nothing has gone right. I'm 28 weeks and am on my 4th round of kidney stones. One round required surgery to remove a stone too large to pass after 2 months of unbearable pain. The last 2 I have been able to pass. Found out I had plecenta previa at my 20 week U/S, spent 10 hours in the ER the other night due to heart issues related to pregnancy only for them to come up empty handed and lacking answers. They did find that I had an elevated lipase level while I was there. They said that the most common reason would be excessive drinking, gallstones or pancreatitis. None of which applied to me, so no answers there. I've ssuffered from severe restless leg syndrome for weeks now but my DR didn't seem to be interested in helping me figure out a possible reason. Turns out I'm anemic and in need of iron which helped clear up the restless legs. I just learned today that I failed my 3 hour glucose test so I'm also now on board with the diabetes bandwagon. And of course all the other normal pregnancy aches and pains. I'm just really wanting this to be over with :( anyone else?

Geeze ladies! I'm not feeling like much of a pitty party after reading what your all going through too. @Kennablack, I have PCOS too, so I can relate with you there. It's no fun.

I feel your pain.... althoufh my roller coaster hasn't had nearly as many downs as you have... im being monitored for preeclampsia qnd have had to do the 24 hour urine test twice... baby has been measuring small and I have lakes of blood in my placenta.mm. I have chronic UTI'S and had s bout with bacteria vaginosis which was causing bleeding. .. ive had problems with both high and low blood pressure and had to go to the E.R twice... at 28 weeks I still have morning sickness. .. I just found out I failed my 1 hr glucose test and have to take more time off to do the 3 hour test... I guess I will know what my results for that are next week

Yes!! I had hives early on, skin problems,  and three massive colds, sinus infections, and stomach flu so bad I needed a hospital stay to add fluids. Ugh! Never ending troubles during this prenancy.  It's weird because I'm usually healthy as a horse!
