Had some pain come out of nowhere! It is on my right side and it is running all the way down and I am feeling pressure again like I was before. Almost like a BM but not. The pain is starting to really become irritating. It is like a period cramp. UGH! I feel some pressure in my hoo-ha too. Not a lot but ... I hope it goes away soon. DH is asleep but about to get up to head off to work for the night and I still have to get DD bathed.
I had this pain all night last night. I hope you feel better hun!!
i got a call from the nurse and my hepatic blood work came back. THere were 6 or 7 tests they ran and eevrything was in normal range except my Alkaline Phosphatase levels..... my level was above 160 and the normal range is to 130 or somthing. She wasnt able to further the converstation as she isnt sure what "too high" of a level meant and not sure what the Dr.s next move will be.
So tomorrow my Dr. will look at my results and we will go from there. I still have my ultrasound set up for wed AM which might help with a dignosis as well
I did soem reasearch and high levels of ALP (alkaline phosphatase) can lead to pre-clampsia or the cholestasis
But i also read that later in pregnancy your ALP levels rise some bc the baby makes their own ALP. So im not sure if my levels are high enough to be concerned about... as of yet? But the Dr. im sure will keep an eye on them just in case.
Els- what were your levels?If you remember... and if your on BNB since i know tomorrow you get to meet your LO!
Hope everything goes well and we are all very excited for you!

All my doc did was the bile acid levels. I believe the normal range is 5-10 and mine was 35. She said if it was as high as 80 it'd be better to deliver immediately. I'm not sure about the ALP in terms of cholestasis but I have heard at work that super high levels are indicative of preeclampsia. Hopefully it's neither of those for you!
Yes, on Wednesday I get to meet my baby girl! Now I'm slightly freaking out. Haven't been nervous til today...
gets here I will probably not pay as much attention because I will be beyond exhausted but it just seems so difficult now. We've been through night shift before but I just really, really don't like it. 
And I know that all I should be focusing on is the fact that he is working and be thankful for it in this economy but sometimes it gets to me.
I've noticed that I'm getting more and more unwilling to go to bed even though I'm exhausted. I miss DH so much at night. Just the comfort of knowing he is there does so much. I find myself staying on my laptop trying to occupy my brain until I really cannot keep my eyes open anymore. When he gets home in the morning and I go back to sleep, it is the best sleep I get. I know I should be resting as much as possible and I know that when
Sorry to whine but thanks for letting me get my frustrations out there.
