We made the trimesters pass quickly!

Have you tried moisturising BB?

 

[Ziggie]

Mention it to your midwife tomorrow if you're still itching. Can be a sign of a liver problem.

 

[brunettebimbo]

It started off in my feet but is all over now. Scalp, back etc. I'll ring tomorrow if it's still there. It's driving me bonkers and only been happening about half an hour!

 

[Ziggie]

Definitely call, I think it itches everywhere but particularly feet and palms.

Exactly what Amanda said, Amy. During contractions deep breath through the nose and out of the mouth. I had to be remided a few times but it really worked.

Never heard of the itchiness BB.

Watching benefits britain and it's seriously pissing me off. They aren't even British! x

UB I just clicked on the first page of this thread by accident!! Seems like forever ago you made this!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Ended up at the hospital! Itchy from head to toe including soles of feet and palms of hands with a raging headache. They have sent off some blood samples and monitored baby. He is fine. I've been having regular tightenings. I think that's Braxton Hicks!? They've put the bloods through as urgent. They are ringing us with the results. We are home now. They were lovely as always. Said I did the right thing going in.

 

[Ziggie]

Ah glad you went in. Better to be safe than sorry and it's why they're there.

I'm having movements in a new place and really hoping baby hadn't decided to do a turn on me!!!

 

[Carlyp1990]

Glad everything ok BB.
hope baby hasn't turned zig xx

Do statutory maternity leave benefits start automatically or do I need to do something?! Does my employer notify them or is that my job? I have no idea

How exciting!

I have my hospital tour on Tuesday I'm pretty nervous for it, I didn't have one with Jay.

I definitely think sex started my contractions too, good luck!! x

That is so exciting! Glad everything went well at the scan!
I bet your DH loved that lol.

 

[ab75]

Thanks ladies.
Hoping sex works lol.
I had Zoe at 654pm ub and my hospital tour was 7pm lol so I missed it. It'll be nice to see where you are going to have A-J xx

Hey ladies, so I've been cramping for about 2 hours straight now. I even had to go check once because it really felt like my cycle was starting. Is this BH contractions? I'm not really feeling any tightening but the cramps are almost constant. I'm really hoping it's not PTL.

Did you give them your MatB1 form?

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Amanda that's crazy lol.

How's the cramping now, Pink? x

 

[ab75]

Hope you are ok pink. I would say BH are more like tightenings across your bump. I got cramps a couple of hours before I went into labour with dd2 but doesn't always mean labour is imminent.

Morning Becki(Becky??? lol)
How are you today? xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Good morning ladies!!

Oh I hope your ok pink

I thought things where starting last night, I had TWO (yes only two ) really strong contraction type pains, started off gradual and peaked really strongly then faded away....two minutes later same again. Then nothing!

With madeleines labour I had no warning either, just got hit with the contractions right away.

Hope everyone's well this morning xx

 

[ab75]

Oooooh Amy. You really do need to work on that this weekend while Madeleine is sleeping lol

I'm ok. Got a lot of pressure down below today. Have text dh and said today's the day but that he better wait until after Zoe's sing along as I don't want to miss that. Just had a clear out (sorry tmi) and feel sick. No pains tho apart from the pressure xx
