I have my u/s on the 16th April. Not long to wait seeing as Easter is just around the corner.
I now also have another issue to contend with - Gestational Diabetes!! My test last week came back high so tomorrow I'm off for the next lot of tests to see if it was just a bad result or if I do actually have this issue.
I'm a bit over all of this testing to be honest and just want a crystal ball to tell me things will work out.
I'd prefer a low placenta to GD, so fingers crossed it's all OK.
Thats great news sweet pea i bet you are relieved.
Tashie D- im sorry to hear about the high results and good luck today with the other tests i hope they are ok.
My newest saga is that i have an uncontrollable itch from head to toe and no rash so i spent yesterday at the hosp having tests.They are testing for a thing called cholestasis which is when your liver reacts to hormones and doesnt clear bile etc away.I dont find out until Tues if i can stand it for that long.Im really hoping its not because it not good for babies or me although there is medication.Anyway fingers crossed thats not what this is.
Ill check in tomorrow to see how your tests went today Tash.
My sister in law had this with both her pregnancies. Second time was worse and was admitted to Hospital to control it.
First time, they had to take Elli out at 36 weeks, second bubs, Jade came out at 39, both c/s because natural would put too much pressure on your body.
It isn't serious for bubs, although they monitor the baby closely, but it isn't good for Mum.
How many weeks are you currently? If you are close to the end, that's a good thing because you won't have to put up with it for too long and they will try and keep baby in for as long as possible for obvious reasons.
Sounds the same as my sister in law though. Try baths with camamile lotion (?? what you use if you had chicken pox) until next week, that helped her a bit.
You'll go back to normal after a week or so, once bubs is out, but until then you will be closely monitored. Don't worry about the meds, they are fine, I would take them personally because it does help with the itching and there's nothing worse than a constant itch that won't go away!
Try not to worry, keep having those baths and let us know how you go next week.
I had my blood tests yesterday, but won't know the results until Monday, so will keep you posted and let you know when I do.
Thanks for the info it good to know others have gone thru it especially when you feel down.I rang hosp late last night because i couldnt stand the itch and sweating in hands and feet any longer.To cut long story short DP went and got a antihistamine script filled for me so i started those last night.It has lessened the symptoms a bit but not enough for my liking.I will take your advice and get some calamine lotion that makes sense.I so wish i could stop this sweating it feels terrible.Bring on Tues and lets get it sorted.Thanks again for your care i appreciate it and keep me posted on how you get on with your tests on Mon.Ill be thinking of you.Good luck chat soon xxx
