Lilypie Breastfeeding Ticker

October 12, 2005

I’ve been really swollen and itching an incredible amount (I’ve taken the skin off the top of my foot), so I phoned the midwife and was told to come in that afternoon for bloodtests. The midwife has sent a test off for Obstetric Cholestasis which is apparently rather serious - however, I could just be itching due to hormones, so I’ve been given some piriton to see if that helps a little (so no driving, operating heavy machinery or drinking alcohol for me then - not that I ever really do any of those things anyway ;) . Still, it’s not a pleasant wait for the test results.

In addition, everytime I walk anywhere I getting contractions - and they’re painful too :( Considering I had steroid jabs and spent some time in hospital when pg. with Nin, I’m not too happy ’bout that either. It could be due to an infection (which is what set off the prem. labour last time apparently), so I’m keeping an eye on it but am back to see the midwife on Monday.

So generally feeling a bit urrrrrgh and puffy :( and hoping those bloody test results come back sooner rather than later.

  6. Thanks for your welcome to the blogring.
    I hope that your R had a nice birthday too :-)

    Sorry to hear of the worries in your pregnancy. I had complications of one sort or another through all my pregnancies, and so I completely empathise.

    Hoping the blood results are soon back for you.
