Please mention this to your midwife. It can be cholestasis which needs to be treated and monitored.Has anyone had an itchy body in late pregnancy? I’ve had it the last couple of nights and it’s really annoying, obviously I’ve googled it and it sounds sinister, some kind of liver disease but wasn’t sure if it’s also just part of pregnancy? I have my planned section tomorrow so trying to rest and recuperate today
Think about going to get checked, home dopplers shouldn't be relied on, I'm sure everything is fine but might be worth being reassured.I'm going through this today.... Why is she doing this to me and making me worry ?Only felt a couple of kicks today (usually a lot more). Home doppler had a strong heartbeat at 143 this afternoon. But she's very quiet compared to usual. Only 26 weeks so no established pattern yet and Im hoping she's just in a position where I can't feel her as much x
It's 11pm and she has finally kicked and punched me quite a bit since I posted this. Hopefully tomorrow is back to normalThink about going to get checked, home dopplers shouldn't be relied on, I'm sure everything is fine but might be worth being reassured.
Yep that’s what I’d read. Do you think it would be worth me ringing triage today? I’m literally going in at 7.30am tomorrow morning for my section xPlease mention this to your midwife. It can be cholestasis which needs to be treated and monitored.
Give them a call anyway, it can’t hurtYep that’s what I’d read. Do you think it would be worth me ringing triage today? I’m literally going in at 7.30am tomorrow morning for my section x
Oh poor you, that sounds so rough!Hi guys,
Need opinions. Well I know only I can make this decision but I'm terrible at deciding things anyway and this just has pros and cons either way and I just feel so tearful like either way I'm choosing wrongly.
I had my consultant deciding app today.
I was told before due to severe pgp/spd I could be induced early at 37 weeks. As I am literally sat or laid barely able to move atm. It's been a miserable 2 weeks.
Today they said Induction will be 38 weeks. Possibly 37 but they will probably say 38 now.
Otherwise I've been offered a c section at 39 weeks.
I'd have gone for a c section as I already have a huge phobia of birth but also I can barely get my legs apart, and even with an epidural they have to be careful moving them to causing damage so I don't even know how I'd be examined. I also couldn't walk around, go on a ball etc. Obviously I'm even more terrified by the natural birth now. Family know two people with complications after from going natural when they had it severe so I'm scared, although I know it could be fine obviously.
However a c section is even longer to wait. Another week of this pain I'm in. I know it doesn't just disapear but the thought of another just under 4 weeks fills me with dread.
If induction had definately been 37 though I may have done it just to make this pain now start to stop but it's now gone up to 38 and there's only a week between them now so I feel like just going for c section. However it feels so long away too. And I just don't know if that's the wrong thing to do.
Also I may go into labour beforehand obviously.
Due to the severity of it they offered me to just stay in hospital from now too to be made comfortable. Then they kept saying even if I just do a week in there before the birth on full bed rest.
I feel like no way unless I have to, and they can see how bad it is and I feel like either way is not great.
I was in the hospital a couple weeks back and they were lovely, but so understaffed so I went without drinks etc and I couldn't get up to do it myself, they also had so many women coming in for inductions and being left or stopping them as they had nobody to care for them. So I've been promised all this care for a natural birth but I know it may not happen. I was witness to these poor women.
So can I have opinions? They wanted my decision and signed right then. I just feel tearful as I didn't know what to do Im just in pain, scared and in a way wish they'd just tell me. I'd have gone for c section but another week of it and only a week between them.
Ive been allowed to decide over a couple of days and tell them.
Sorry for the ramble. Bit of an emotional mess in general. Being stuck in one place all day every day is making me think too much I think.
Opinions please? X
Yep! That’s them! That’s exactly how mine feel. The cutest little thuds everI thought I felt the baby move/kick this morning.. it was like a 'thud' feeling! I wasn't sure if it was gasbut I have felt it again this afternoon like another 'thud' feeling... never felt it before, I'm 22+4, will this be what I think ?

Oh bless you,it’s a big decision! If you’re happy to wait for the C-section the yes do that.Hi guys,

I don’t have any advice but really thinking of you. I know you were scared of a vaginal birth so maybe the C section would be the best option but that’s easier said than done when you are in a lot of pain. Do what you feel will be right for you and rest up as much as you can. Sorry I wish I could say something more useful XHi guys,

Please don't use a home doppler as reassurance.I'm going through this today.... Why is she doing this to me and making me worry ?Only felt a couple of kicks today (usually a lot more).

I have had low iron this pregnancy, I just told them I would be taking liquid iron and they agreed, I said that I was happy for it to be rechecked as often as they advised and if they weren't happy with the effect of the liquid iron we could then talk about tablets or prescribed liquid or an infusion.Hey, does anybody here have experience of having low iron?
I had a call today from a not very understanding lady at my doctors. She told me my levels are 90? And need to be at least 105, ive been given a prescription for some iron pills to take twice a day - I did explain to her that I really can't swallow pills (I can't even manage paracetamol) and she suggested I tried taking them with some jam or marmalade
I did try to explain I had previously bought spatone and was about the discuss the idea of increasing the iron in my diet as an option but she barely gave me a chance.
Anybody else been in a similar situation? Honestly nearly cried at work after I spoke to her
Yes with both pregnancies. I’ll be honest though it didn’t do all that much for me, made me sleepy and took the edge off a little but I still felt crapDr has prescribed me cyclizine for my nausea just wondering if anyone has taken this?
Thanks I’m just really struggling with this sickness but hesitant to take stuffYes with both pregnancies. I’ll be honest though it didn’t do all that much for me, made me sleepy and took the edge off a little but I still felt crapHopefully it works for you though
