Itchin' All Over

[kerry]

More problems, sometimes I think my body just doesn't like this pg caper.

Over the past few days I have been incredibly itchy... it started on Sunday night about 10, then kicked in a few hours earlier on Monday and so on... NOW I am just itchy everywhere ALL the time. Is this normal, should I ring my OB 9He is not in next week for my appointment)?

Hi Kerry

Do you have a rash?
Has the colour of your skin changed?
Are the whites of your eyes still white?

[kerry]

Hi Alan,

No rash, but lots of nasty marks from scratching in my sleep.

I am pretty pale and wear blockout every day (even in the middle of a Melbourne winter) but the past week or 2 everyone has been say how dark I look.

Just checked and the whites of my eyes are sort of not quite white.

[Alan]

Ok Hun I think that you should go to your GP and get checked out

[kerry]

Thanks Alan, will ring him now

... but am not googling any of my symptoms as that will just freak me out.

[Alan]

Not googling is a good idea

Situation Update - Rang my GP/OB and spoke to one of the midwives, she spoke to the Ob who rang me back and told me I need some blood tests. I am going to leave work a little bit early to pick up the test referals and to have the tests done so the results will be back by Monday morning.

IKWYM Fletch, Alan is fantastic and such a god send, not to mention he always makes you lol when you need it.

PS... have resisted the urge of google so very proud of me.

[Alan]

Well done for not doing the google thing =D>

Thank you ladies for the very kind words

I am so glad you are getting things checked out Jo.

Lee-ann had something like this near the end of her pg too and I think it stopped when she had her little girl.

Good luck matey.

Good luck with the tests! I hope that you find some relief from it over the weekend!
