I've had this headache since yesterday and it won't go away. I dont want to keep taking tylonel though. as far as the gas I called my OB and a nurse just said tums and watch what you eat...not gassy foods...broccoli, cabbage, etc. The tums havent helped me yet though bc ive been taking them for acid reflux

 

[skeet9924]

I've been taking tums for acid reflux as well..I had it really bad before I was preg...now its just non stop!! especially when i'm tired. Try going for a walk..it might help with both!!

 

[haj624]

Its crazy you're feeling so much already...I guess I was a late bloomer with my symptoms haha. I didn't get the nausea/vomiting and gas till like 8 weeks and then the acid reflux started in like 9/10 weeks and the headaches have just been the past few days. My boobs have never been sorry though...maybe my nipples are a tad sensitive here and there but thats about it.

 

[skeet9924]

I think the progesterone does it to me.. I've always been susceptible to heart burn and stuff.. I was actually on prescription meds for it from before I was preg.. My boobs are only sore by the evening. The bloat and gas has been the worst for me but that's the number one side effect of the progesterone

and everyone is differnet too so you might very well be having all of these symptoms already

I could be.. Lol hope it doesn't get much worse or else I'm going to have a rough first few months lol

Hey everyone.... so last night I was only able to sleep 2 hours I was having BH contractions every 10 min. and I was itching all over my body. It was horrible and still is. I waited until morning to call my Dr. They are having me come in tomorrow morning to draw blood. I have to wait because I have to fast for 8 hours before. She thinks I have pupps rash or the more dangerous liver disorder. Either way my body itches from head to toe. Especially my hands, feet, and belly. I am taking benadryl, but it makes me feel so drugged and I'm not sure how many more days I can go feeling like this. I am hoping i get some relief soon. Good news is I went to the bathroom this afternoon and noticed Ive started to lose my plug yay. I am praying that I go into active labor soon!

 

[skeet9924]

Ugh that rash sounds unbearable.. I have very sensitive skin and have had a horrible rash all week ( guess I touched something my skin didn't like lol) it's driving me crazy and it's just on my leg!! I could not imagine how you are feeling.. Plus the contractions!! Hopefully the baby comes soon!!!

 

[jmandrews]

Thank you. It is weird because there is no physical rash. My skin looks normal. It just itches for no reason. It awful.

 

[skeet9924]

Have you tried an oatmeal bath? Mind you someone may need to be home to help you out of the bath lol

Where the scan dates off from your ov dates? Where you further or less? I'm still waiting.. Apparently they are behind

Skeet I know roughly when I ovulated, and that put my EDD as around the 12th June, at the latest the 14th. My first u/s was like yours they could see the sack and the start of something. My u/s tech was a bit cruel and told us that "there is no clear indication that it's a viable pregnancy" as the sac was measuring at 5 weeks + ? days (which means we should have seen a heart beat) and she placed my EDD as the 12th June. When I got to "6 weeks" my MS got really bad, and I started to show other symptoms.
Because no heart beat was seen I had to go for a second dating scan. Which was scheduled when we thought I should be 8 weeks + 2 days, however Teddy was only measuring 7 weeks + 2 days and my EDD was pushed back to 19th June.
So don't worry if they do push you back by a week, as long as there is a healthy heart beat, all is well. Especially as your numbers are so beautiful.

Really hope the itchiness goes away soon and that we get to meet Everlee soon

I'm sure everything is fine Jo, as you said, they are covering their butts by going through all the motions.

---

Skeet and Haj, you guys should stay strong and stay team and join my thread in third trimester. Mrs W is a member of my thread

---

Good luck Mrs W, sending lots of good thoughts your way
Can't wait to find out if your prediction was right

 

[skeet9924]

Thanks rigi!! I'm just happy that the tech said she could see the start of a baby!! That was good enough news for me!! Hopefully I get to see the hb next week or the week after!!

I really an going to try and stay team yellow.. Oh really wants to know though!! Maybe I just won't tell him when they can tell the gender.. I can't imagine he will research it himself

jm - when i got pregnant a girl I know told me to watch out for itchiness, especially on hands and feet. She mentioned it at an antenatal class. Lady told her to go to the doc immediately and it turned out to be a liver thing. Can't remember the technical term.

 

[haj624]

rigi i would love to but i know i am wayyyyyy too impatient

yes i know exactly what you are talking about. My cousin had it. I think the abbreviation is ICP. It is life threatening for baby. I am having blood drawn tomorrow to see if that is it. My hands and feet itch so bad as well as my body. there is no rash present so i don't think it is pupps rash. ill keep you all posted.

 

[rosabelle]

Hopefully your scan goes alright Jo, like you said im sure its just a pre caution.


The only itchiness i really get is on my belly and i just assume its because its stretched so much? it does drive me crazy though..

Last day of work tomorrow!! yee ha!! i am sooo excited to just have a week of doing nothing at all.. bags are packed, nursery is ready, car seat is fitted.. we are ready!

 

[Wilsey]

Yeah, I didn't wanna say it was life threatening for the baby but because just you are so far along Im sure its fine.

Enjoy your time off, newborns are wonderful but they take up 28 hours of your day (I'm full well aware that there is only 24 hours in a day, but you'll somehow invent the extra 4 )

haha! i can imagine!
i am looking forward to doing nothing at all for a week or 2.. i am so glad we got everything done earlier so i dont have to rush around now, thats the last thing i want to be doing..

Jm - i had to be tested for this a few times, its called obstetric cholestasis, check out the sticky thread on it in third tri. The itching is just awful i recommend sitting with ur feet in a bowl of cold water!

Iv gotta go back for a repeat scan in 2 weeks she has grown but just slowly. They did say it wasnt always 100% accurate so need a follow up scan and if shes still not following their curve i might have to see a consultant to talk about induction. All the flow from placenta etc looks good tho and shes very low down and facing my back so good position for delivery!
It just all makes me realise how soon she will be here. Going to have a baby things organising day methinks!
