Hi ladies,
Hope everyone is well?
Thought I'd do a little update as its been a crazy few days. Friday just gone I felt really poorly and hadn't felt baby move much so took myself off to mau, all checks came back fine. Had a bit of a scary moment when mw couldn't pick up hb on CTG machine for a while but luckily he was just hiding, thank god!! Trace came back fine and baby started moving like a crazy thing :-) Left on trace for a good hour. MW came back and asked me how I was feeling, which by this point was quite a lot better. She noticed a couple of times when she was in the room with me that I was scratching quite a lot and asked me how long I had been itchy for. Me being stupid hadn't really noticed the itching but when I thought about it I realised I had been itching for a day or so. Mw gets doc in to see me and they think I might have Obstetric cholestasis :-( They took lots of blood samples, all the normal ones have come back fine but I'm still waiting for the bile acid levels to come back as it has to go to a different hospital. I'm in every 2/3 days for CTG monitoring and repeat bloods and still itchy :-( Baby seems quite happy though. The only day I'm not in hospital this week is today, its becoming my 2nd home!! Tomz is CTG, Thurs is physio and Fri is scan and consultant appt, when they will put a plan of action in place and then another CTG. Little man is currently head down but back to back, which makes me move into some very strange positions when he sits on a nerve :-)
The good news is that the anti-depressants are finally starting to work, I feel a bit like the old me again. Even with the worry of possibly having OC I'm relatively anxiety free :-)
Take care lovely ladies. I'm off to do some nesting (code for clean out kitchen cupboards!!!) xxx
