So I plucked up the courage to get on my scales this morning only to realise the battery was gone! Think it's trying to tell me something Hmm

ndo4000 · 14/10/2017 08:05

Urgh, anyone just not sleeping at night? Last night was so bad that I got up and had a cup of tea rather than lying there!

SJ1989 · 14/10/2017 08:55

@ndo4000 I'm not! A combination of being full of a cold and not being able to get comfy is meaning in waking up constantly through the night!

wapphighwood · 14/10/2017 09:07

Me too with the insomnia, I got up and had a peanut butter sandwich last night. It is really infuriating. My dd is also waking me usually once or twice a night as well. Can't wait to finish work so that can rest a bit whilst she is at pre school.

klaw87 · 14/10/2017 09:08

Sorry I've not been in for a while!
I too have the most rubbish nights sleep - just can't get comfortable!!

Ribs on left side are really hurting underneath and the skin on top in a small patch feels numb??! Slightly better today as have been putting a bag of peas there in evenings but is this normal?? Thinking annerve is probably being pressed or something for the numbness - started off as pins and needles which I told the midwife last week and she didn't seem concerned - but they never seem concerned or interested in much anyway ha!

ndo4000 · 14/10/2017 09:13

Glad it's not just me!!!

We exchanged on a new house yesterday so my brain was buzzing from that. Then my massively inappropriate MIL said to me that if I don't feel the baby moving, I must go to hospital. Erm.... Hmm. Woke up and started wondering if bubs was moving or not!! Had to wake up and go and read positive birth stories to get her negativity out of my head!!!

overmybreadbody · 14/10/2017 09:14

Feel horrendous - what I thought was a cold is tonsillitis.
Dr gave me prescription for antibiotics however in not so many words discouraged me from using them.

So I'm bed bound feeling very sorry for myself while DH decorates the nursery Brew

klaw87 · 14/10/2017 09:33

God what a thing to say to a pregnant woman @ndo 🙄 people just have no tact at times do they? Only you know what movement is normal for you and baby son don't panic!

Sounds horrible @overmybreadbody hope you're feeling better soon x

hodgeheg92 · 14/10/2017 09:52

Totally with you all on the insomnia! I don't really know what's causing it, I'm not waking up cos I need the loo and I'm no more uncomfortable than I am when I first get into bed.

I got a full 6 hours straight last night though, and 6 and a half the night before! Most sleep I've had in weeks and I'm feeling much better for it.

@Disinterested congratulations on your wedding! I hope you had a wonderful day.

klaw87 · 14/10/2017 10:44

Oh yes! Congratulations @Disinterested! Xx

Gemxo · 14/10/2017 10:51

Anyone else started the nursery? Dp painted the room last week and now we're waiting on furniture! It's so exciting Grin

ndo4000 · 14/10/2017 11:00

Oh yes, congratulations @Disinterested!!!!

klaw87 · 14/10/2017 12:14

We're about to start nursery @Gemxo just sold some of the furniture in there so now we can get cracking :) I'm so excited!

How is everyone doing theirs? I think I'm going for a sage green colour and then a cream and black safari print wallpaper - I'm so excited 😊

Fredthefrog · 14/10/2017 16:37

I like that wallpaper @klaw85

klaw87 · 14/10/2017 17:08

@Fredthefrog it looks even nicer on the sample, I'm so excited to get started! I think I'm going to be jealous of his room haha

Disinterested · 14/10/2017 17:22

Hi all. Thanks for your well wishes - the wedding went very well indeed.

Came home today to a bit of a downer though... message on answerphone from the doctor asking me to "call back as soon as I get the message" regarding my recent blood test :(

I called my ward (surgery closed) and the midwife there has told me that my blood test has revealed that my liver levels are high, which would support cholestasis of pregnancy. I am going in tomorrow for additional testing.

I've read up about this and there's increased risk of stillbirth if diagnosed. I am terrified :(

hodgeheg92 · 14/10/2017 17:30

Hi @Disinterested Sorry you came back to news like that. Increased risk doesn't mean it will happen to you though, and it's good that they're aware because then I'm sure a plan will be put in place.

I know you'll probably be thinking that too, just wanted to offer some reassurance.

klaw87 · 14/10/2017 17:31

Oh @Dis sorry you've had a phone call like that, please try not to google too much - you are in the best hands and they will do everything to make sure you and baby are okay. Hope all goes okay tomorrow xx

millsbynight · 14/10/2017 17:40

@Disinterested repeat after me: I will not have a stillbirth! If they suspect baby is in trouble because of your cholestasis then they will whip baby out early, better out than in. But the important thing is they have picked up a potential problem and will monitor you. Please don’t stress Flowers

Sorry to double post but gorgeous wallpaper @klaw87 😍

I’m not bothering with the nursery for another month or so, but we did order our pram - went for the Bugaboo Cameleon 3!

SJ1989 · 14/10/2017 18:33

@disinterested I'm so sorry that you got bad news after such a special day! Please try not to Google! It may increase risk but it doesn't mean it WILL happen! Try to relax (easier said than done I know).

Disinterested · 14/10/2017 19:47

I've had a further look into things and not so concerned... even if it is cholestasis then, with proper management, risks are still very low. Just weekly blood tests to look forward to...!

Here's a gross picture my leg as a result of the scratching Blush, they are both like this! pre pregnancy it didn't have a mark on it. I had to wear black tights for my wedding, lol.

Owl1011 · 14/10/2017 20:07

@Disinterested oh wow that looks painful! can they recommend something safe to manage the itching? You're in excellent hands and being monitored now so glad that you're feeling less concerned but look after yourself. Congrats on your wedding as well Smile

Disinterested · 14/10/2017 20:59

@owl1011 I've been given Eurax cream by the doctor but it's done naff all. Yes it's reassuring to be in good hands :) I am not going to be afraid to pester them for answers.

I am so glad to have this group to chat in and vent SmileBrew

Disinterested · 14/10/2017 21:00

Sorry for double post but I forgot to say thanks to @owl for her congratulations Grin!
