Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[bbymc]

Well I seem to have developed a really annoyin symptom of pregnancy in the last week. Ive got horrendouly itchy hands, arms and soles of my feet! Random eh? Apparently its down to an increase in estrogen. Its so annoyin though cos there is nothing I can do and its just another thing keeping me up at night!

Ooohh I have had itchy legs the whole of this pregnancy and the last one too! I have scabby bits from scratching in my sleep lol. It's strange how it's something that's become normal now thought haha!

We only have a couple of weeks to go...then we will have a whole new bunch of things to moan about

Shaun has been awake since 7am. I'm sooo tired. We had breakfast and got ready, intending to go shopping at 9 but we're both cuddled on the couch watching Spongebob now lol.

Emma that does sound annoying. Hopefully it stops soon or goes as soon as baby is here.

Hehe its funny to think that its actually Dylan's due date today!

It was lovely getting out yesterday. Just as our dinner was ready last night Kaiden was really sick bless him. He was really white and quite hot, but no temp. He' s never been ill like that before somwas a bit of a worry. Dont know if its a bug or if it was too much jumping on the bouncy castle at the party....altho we had been a while?!

Laura thats great you may have the nursery before Alex arrives. Really looking forward to seeing some pics. Hows the burnt fingers today?

I've had itchy hands a couple of times as well.

I had than on wednesday as well Laura, first day on mat leave and I was up at half six! Lol.

We're gonna go to ikea today I think. Fancy a wee wander round and some lunch! xx

 

[bbymc]

Ive been up since half 5. No idea why. I think a wee snuggle on the sofa and spongebob sounds
much more inviting than shopping lol. Good choice.

Poor wee kaiden. Does he seem better today or do you think he's g
got a wee bug? Fingers crossed its not!!

Arlene Ikea will be packed today what with everyone off for easter! Good luck. We often go just for a wee lunch lol x

 

[Cherrybump]

Arlene ive had days like that when i start mat leave to was scary getting up so early and not even working. My working hours are 1-5 lol so i had no reason to be up so early

i was going to drag my sister asda today but i think ill leave it until tomorrow feeling pretty lazy this week due to feeling crap 2 days. Need to get myself out the house though feel trapped in here and could use some good old air lol. Just haven't told my sister she's chimming me yet lol.

Glad its a holiday but why do they need to take our day time telly of and put crap on lol nothing to laugh at or be entertained by lol


Oooh i seen twilight to lol im huge fan im waiting for them to bring all the dvds out as a boxset before buying any of the dvds lol..

My nausea has reared its ugly head again today blerrghhh!

 

[lj2245]

Oohh Emma, that could be a 'clear out' starting??

How's Kaiden, Karen?

We are back from shopping, have made Easter Nests and are now back on the couch watching Spongebob again hehe

 

[bbymc]

I hope so. It's horrendous. I'm sitting with a bucket but yet to actually be sick! I wish I would be sick. I'd probably feel better! It's like going back in time to before 12 weeks. I hope it doesn't last!

I made Easter nests yesterday. Then I ate 4 of them myself lol.

Turns out Ryan actually won 2 corporate passes for 5 sisters not just one lol.

 

[Kaybee]

Kaiden seems ok today. Him and Dave are away out to the park with his balance bike. I was hoping to get out for a bit too but am sat waiting on the HV that was meant to be here between 1-2.

Cherry that reminds me I need to do some food shopping online.

Am sat getting hungry catching up on masterchef.

 

[arlene]

Hello ladies. Emma I hope your nausea goes, although Laura might be right it could be a sign! Lol.

Karen, glad you're all well and Kaiden is feeling better!

Ikea was pretty busy but we basically went in and got what we needed and left! Got a 4 drawer Malm set for £55 and some of the organiser inserts. We've just built that and the moses basket stand and moved things around in the spare room so I'm now pooped! Gonna wait til tomorrow or sunday to put the clothes away! Xx

 

[bbymc]

I've just been lookin on the third tri forum and found this...

https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/p...er/416-please-read-obstetric-cholestasis.html

Main symptom is itchy hand and feet. Just totally made myself all worried now!

 

[Kaybee]

Emma have you spoken to your MW or GP about your itching? I know its easier said than done but try not to worry. I dont know much about OC. My friend had itching in late pregnancy and was tested and was fine. I would say speak to your MW if you havent already.

 

[bbymc]

No I haven't cos it was minor itching before, but in the last day or two its becoming unbearable! My next appointment isn't til after my due date either. Not sure what to do. I don't wana worry, but I don't wana just ignore it either.

 

[arlene]

Just give them a call emma. Your community midwifr might be off cos of easter but you could get an on call midwife xx

 

[bbymc]

Spoke to mw and she told me to phone triage. They've told me to go up ASAP so I can have some blood tests done. Just headin up there now. :-/

 

[lj2245]

Good luck I'm sure everything will be fine but you're definitely best to get checked! Let us know how you get on asap x

 

[Cherrybump]

Aw man i hope its nothing to worry about. Keep us posting hun.

I just made wee list for going to the shop tomorrow lol. going to pick up prune juice see if i can sort these bowels out lol.

Ooh everyone is making those easter nest cakes lol there going to be pretty popular when one little ones can eat solids lol xxx

 

[arlene]

Good luck emma, let us know how you get on xx

 

[bbymc]

Well they put me on a trace and checked my bp periodically for an hour and took blood. Baby is fine but my bp is higher than they would like and I have protein in my urine.They've given me a tablet to take it down but they aren't letting me leave until the bloods have been checked and until they can see that the tablet has bought my bp down.

Doc says if bloods come back normal and tablet for bp works then I can go but she gave the distinct impression that that wasn't likely and even discussed the possibility of inducing me tonight! I think its most likely I'll be kept in to be monitored though. :-/ Really wasnt expecting that!! Now just gotta wait and see what the blood tells us.
