stressed and nervous.......

Well I had my 24 week appt today. BP was 140/80 and Ive been having palpitations so they put me on some beta blocker meds to regulate my heart rhythm. I've been itching like crazy since 12 weeks which they said was hormones and put me on a medicine hydroxyz which helped great until here recently I start itching on my feet and legs just not as severe, so they took bloodwork checking for obstetric cholestasis. Waiting for results on that. This is my 4th baby and I've never had these issues before so I'm nervous as to what to expect if I do have OC and what if my BP gets worse? My hubby starts his new job Sunday which will put him out of state for a few weeks then gone 5 days a week after that. I have a toddler and an 11yo and 9yo, which is soooo hard as my older kids are giving me hell already. Guess I'm just stressed and worried

Don't worry about OC Hun I had it last pregnancy it's just a pain in the ass. This time I've been itching like hell since 15 weeks but bloods are normal so far...hope u feel better soon xx

Sorry to hear. I don't have experience with that but just wanted to say hope you're feeling better soon. Don't over stress yourself.

I also forgot to add they felt around my belly dr baby's position and said she's already head down in birth position which I know babies can engage earlier with each pregnancy but at 24 weeks? I feel so much pressure down there I feel like I need to walk with my legs together my hips are being split open and my lower back hurts sooooo bad, plus period like cramps all the time. I have a funny feeling I'm gonna end up in pre term labor...
