@Suggerhoney thanks lovely! I wondered if my bump was bigger than last time but going by my pictures it seems to be a similar size. You’ve a beautiful bump too! I love seeing progression pictures!

sorry your itchy… I can only imagine the frustration of being so itchy! At least if you can push for a 37 week induction then you know you’ve only got 10 weeks! 10 weeks! I cannot believe that we are saying that! Feels as though we just got out of the long first tri!
 
@Mummy2Corban i hope she hasn't got too long left I seriously love kittens lol! I'm double digits tomorrow so very excited!

Welcome @Skye75 I kinda float all over bnb it keeps me busy :haha: my technical due date is 7th Oct but my section will be 39weeks or earlier so poss Sept

@daniyaaq I always thought that about fundal height! I have so many scans they don't check mine anymore as it's usually off anyway!!

@Suggerhoney we are very similar atm I had my bloods done yesterday to check for icp I have some itching but not too bad atm and I have to be at the hospital for 9 tomorrow for my gtt aswell. Luckily I'm a reader so will take my book and hopefully time will fly Lol!!
 
Appointment went well. I have officially started gaining back all that weight I lose in first Tri…or maybe it was all baby but either way I added a little. This may just be the healthiest pregnancy of my life, I was still under pre pregnancy weight when u gave birth to my girls.

tried to see if I can get off the fortnightly visits but apparently they don’t trust me not to go into labour without close monitoring.
 
@daniyaaq im glad all went well! Also great news you’ve put on weight! That’s got to be a good sign right? Well I guess it’s best they keep an eye on you

@Catmumof4 kittens are just the cutest! Goodluck for your appointment tomorrow.

@Suggerhoney i ordered the mothercare journey edit from boots yesterday. I got it for £225 and the got £25 worth of points so figured I could get my maternity pads etc with the points.
 
@Mummy2Corban

I think I'm slightly bigger now than I was with Tommy as this stage but can't be sure.
I've weighed myself today and I'm 10st 2oz.
My pre pregnancy weight was 8st 12 but I went down to 8st 4 in the first trimester. Now I'm 10st 2.
With my son I was 10st 7 at the end of my pregnancy and I'm already 10st 2 now.
I rekon I'm gonna have a massive baby and I'm feeling scared.
Ure bump is perfect hon.

@Catmumof4
Haha that's so funny we both have our gtt at the same time. I'm taking a book with me as well and my phone so I can come on here lol.

See my itching has been on and off for weeks but it hasn't been major.
My liver function and bile levels have all been normal so far. The last time they checked was about 4 weeks ago and my bile levels were only at a 4.
I think they have to be 14 for ICP.
But like I said it's not been too bad.
And then last night it really flared up and its been horrendous.
I feel like scratching my skin off.
It kept me awake all night and all day today all I've done is itch.
I took antihistamines and they have not helped at all.
I've just had a cold shower and put on loads of that cooling cream they prescribed me and it did help but I'm feeling all itchy again now.
I've also made myself sore from scratching ](*,)

Even the thought of going to 37 weeks with this itching Is really worrying me.
10 weeks of this is going to be horrible :cry:

Literally feel like I've been covered in itching powder.
I feel so miserable because of it.

Wish I was 36 weeks now because then I cud push to be induced ASAP.
10 weeks with this intense itching is going to drag so badly.

So glad ure appointment went well hon
 
@Suggerhoney the one I got is a black frame with black fabric. I’m sure your little man isn’t going to be a giant. When did you say his next growth scan is?

I’m sorry your so itchy! I can only imagine it must feel like torture if you can’t do anything about it! Hopefully your meds will give you some kind of relief.
 
@Suggerhoney i really feel for you!! My blood results haven't been published today ](*,)not a massive surprise so I will ask tomorrow morning hopefully find out then! Having some choc now before fasting and fingers xd it helps me through xx

Thanks everyone for the welcome! :D

@daniyaaq we are pretty much just eloping in September and signing papers, we will have a "proper" wedding in a year or two once we can afford my dream venue. A bit quick, we've been together for just over a year now, but I guess the saying is true "when you know, you know" haha. We just work so well, and he is fantastic with my 7 and 8yo and treats them as his own. He has stepped up brilliantly considering he has no kids of his own (until this baby is born) their own dad makes little to no effort with them, despite taking me to court for full custody of them last year. Didn't quite work out the way he planned lol, they gave me 70% which he struggles now even having them the 30% and most of the time has them about two nights a month. Which suits me fine, wish they were with us 100%.

I'm 18 weeks today, woohoo. Feeling lots of movement the last few days, have a active little guy in there it seems. Have my 19 week scan next week, I can't wait.
 
@Skye75 oh that happens a lot. I’m family lawyer and had a boss who used to have to call that letting them fall on their own sword. Especially when it’s obvious dad can’t live up to the fuss they making.

I’m sure an elopement will be beautiful still. Know couple of people who’ve done that especially this Covid season and actually loved it.

yay for scan. Are the older ones excited about baby?
 
Hello lovelies

So already had the first bloodtest and had the drink. Tbh it was quite nice. It wasn't the same nasty one I had last time. This one was a weird colour looked like pee lol but tasted like orange or lemon. Quite enjoyed it tbh haha.
I've also seen my consultant and he has prescribed me Piriton for the itching. He suspects it is is ICP now but only the bloods will tell.
Had my fundal height measured again and its 28cm so bang on as I'm 28 weeks on sat. Told him about my concern of big baby he says growth scan shows he is not a large baby but will see how the other growth scans go. I have one on Tuesday and then the next one is around 32 weeks so 2 weeks after my 4d bonding scan.
He cud see I've been itching and was pointing it all out to the midwife.
Can't see the piriton doing much tbh but it's better than nothing.

Now sat in waiting room again waiting for the 2nd blood test.
If I test positive for gestational diabetes I will hear by tomorrow. If I don't hear anything then I know its negative which I'm hoping it is negative.

Got about another hour and a half of waiting for the next blood test then I can go get some food yay.
Not had nothing to eat or drink other than water since midnight.


@Catmumof4 hope ure is going good hon.

Jeeeez sat In this waiting room and some of these womon bumps are huuuuge. Make me look small lol.
 
@Suggerhoney hopefully the next hour and a half go quickly for you so you can go get your eat on! I hate being hungry. Fingers crossed for a negative test…. You don’t need that to be worrying about too. With bump measuring 28 weeks and your consultant saying baby isn’t big that has helped ease your mind???? At least you’ve got several scans coming up so they are keeping an eye. Has piriton worked for you before?

@Catmumof4 how are you doing?

hows everyone else doing? Anything exciting to report?!

mum waiting for the girls bunk bed to be delivered so hopefully we can build that when DH gets home. Still haven’t heard from the midwives…. I will call them…. Just find it frustrating that your left having to chase them up!!!!!
 
Hey ladiez @Skye75 my ex is an abusive a hole and we r going through a messy court battle and he's attempting to go for custody throwing so many lies about and can't afford a lawyer so it's extra stressful. The wedding sounds perfect!

@Suggerhoney and @Mummy2Corban thanks for asking after me :hugs: it was bloody horrendous! I had the first draw and she wanted to do the 28 weeks bloods at the same time but my vein collapsed (she used the same vein my midwife did 2 days ago when she got t the icp bloods) downed the disgusting drink in 1 (the one I had was raspberry really strong flavour and I hate hate hate anything raspberry) and told me to set a timer for 2 hrs and she would do the bloods then. I was fine for an hr I read and spoke to the 3 other ladies that were there but when it hit the hr mark I got really dizzy, clammy and felt sick so put the book away and just spoke to the ladies. Started to feel bit better until the end when she tried to get the bloods from the back of my hand but that didn't want to give any so went BACK in the previously used (twice now!!) Vein and got the rest I had 6 tubes taken in total and felt utter shit!! Iv had a sandwich and come to bed now cos just feel awful hopefully that will pass.

Hope everyone else is ok. Xxx
 
@Catmumof4 sorry you had a yukky drink! Also not good about your veins! Poor veins! I guess at least it’s now done. Hopefully a little snooze and you’ll feel a bit better. When do you get your results?
 
@Catmumof4 ugh my first GTT I felt just the same. So Ill and had to ask for somewhere to lay down or else I was going to faint!

@Suggerhoney glad yours was not as vile. They have changed our drink to just sugar water so no flavouring for us!

I will have mine July 5 but it’s just a hoop to jump through so I can be positive on paper and get a referral to the shit all useless Gd clinic at the hospital. I already know I have it for the 4th time from self monitoring.


Actually it’s really getting to me today, and I was quite upset with not being able to eat basically anything I want at this point, so my mom is trying to be helpful and suggesting things but she also knows nothing. Suggesting I eat 1200 calories a day… like I would die with that low amount. Anyways she means well and is cleaning my kitchen and bathrooms for me today because I’m melting down a bit and our house cleaner resigned 2 weeks ago. She really is lovely but just doesn’t get it sometimes.

my eldest has a fever now too that we’re back from vacation, she travels so poorly all the time.
 
@Mummy2Corban ivbeen told they will contact me if I have it but no idea when that will be! I forgot to ask

@Reiko_ctu ivnever had it is there a way of telling without blood monitors? If that makes sense? I'm so sorry your having a crappy day! It must be hard your mum wanting to help but not really being able to- she can come clean my house if she wants, with me being so ill my amazing partner has picked up the slack and is pretty much doing everything with the kids and sorting the house when he gets 2 mins. I'm trying to do what I can but it just isn't enough and the house is starting to look like a shit tip!!
Had a sleep when I got home and after kidswere in bed had a bath but when I got out it all just got on top of me- how much pain I'm in the fibro the itching and how much longer I've got left 11-13 weeks of this I just broke Down. Normally I'm strong and my poor partner didn't know what to do so I rang my mum and she helped soothe it a little but the reality is I feel so so down atm. I gave in and took some of the morphine because I just needed a break and then I feel guilty but i can feel her kicking away and I said out loud how much I love her and I'm sorry to have to do that to her. I hope she forgives me. Sorry for the long post I just needed to vent to you lovely people
 
@Reiko_ctu that sucks about not eating what you want. I think I’d really struggle with it. I don’t really have any advice as I’ve never dealt with it. That’s lovely that your mum is helping out with the cleaning! Sorry DD has a temp! I find it always wipes them out. Hope she feels better soon
