Last week I mentioned to my obstetrician that I was always itchy and that my skin feels like its on fire. My HG has kicked off again (mostly just puking bile) and Ive been having issues when it comes to bleeding and not being able to stop (like nose bleeds, bleeding gums, lips and mouth etc.)
I went back for the results of my blood work today and the first thing my doctor said was theres no major problems and my iron levels are responding well to the infusion. At the time he seemed to be looking at the screen pretty intently and asked a couple of times to chec that my test had been done a week ago. I told him I was managing with the itchiness and went on my way.
Fifteen minutes later he called my mobile and said hed spoken to the head obstetrician at one of the big maternity hospitals and I had to start on Ursofalk straight away - three times a day and if things improved it would confirm the diagnosis of OC. He then called me back a few hours later to let me know hed found out how expensive the medication was ($160!!) and that hed sourced it for me from the hospital pharmacy for free.
Im so confused how I went from no major concerns to three tablets a day for the rest of my pregnancy in the space of 15 minutes. Now Im worried that Ill have complications and that baby will need to be delivered early.
Can you have OC and have blood work that doesnt really show its severe? Im guessing something showed up or he was concerned to have even called the other OB anyway.
