SJ1989 · 23/11/2017 13:03

Thanks, he seems to be a bit better, more inhalers and obs in 2 hours and if they are happy we can escape!

Maybebaby2 · 23/11/2017 16:34

I've just got back from hospital and Cholestasis has been confirmed.

Means I'm now consultant led and will be induced at 37 weeks. I already have a scan for low lying placenta next week and if it has not moved I'll be having c section no later than 37 weeks. Will have weekly blood tests and if Cholestasis gets worse and my bile acid levels go past a certain level I will be induced even earlier. So which ever way baby will definitely be making an appearance sooner than we thought!

I'm sure I remember someone else on here being diagnosed with the same thing?

Waitingonasmile · 23/11/2017 16:57

Aw no @Maybebaby2 sorry you've had bad news. Hope you are coping ok Flowers. Really hope things settle and you won't have to have baby before 37 weeks.

I read a thread about elcs vs vbac and most people seemed to recommended elcs. I'm feeling so confused now and wondering if I should go for the elcs. Confused Is anyone else still undecided?

Maybebaby2 · 24/11/2017 11:21

Thanks @Waitingonasmile I'm ok just trying to get my head around the idea that I'll have a baby in 4 weeks time! A December baby instead of mid Jan and a 2017 baby not 2018!

I have an appointment with consultant on 5th Dec and they will give me my date then but it will be somewhere between 21st and 28th Dec.

SJ1989 · 24/11/2017 11:44

@Maybebaby2 sorry you have had bad news but atleast it's being monitored and you and baby are getting the best care!
Also atleast now you won't have to wait as long for cuddles!

ElleMcElle · 24/11/2017 13:14

@Maybebaby2 - Hope you're doing OK. Good that they are monitoring things, and as SJ1989 says - cuddles coming sooner than you thought!

Maybebaby2 · 24/11/2017 15:27

Thank you @SJ1989 and @ElleMcElle. I'm ok getting used to the idea and yes definitely looking forward to cuddles!

Giggling to myself today at the consultants choice of words to describe my bloods. Deranged was what she called them "your bloods are deranged" Makes it sound so much worse than it is! 😂

Wondering if I need to get smaller sized clothes now because every thing I have is 0-3 months which is about 7-10lb.

Is anyone else booked to go earlier than due date and what sizes have you bought?

Ruthcarr1990 · 24/11/2017 19:03

@Maybebaby2 I’m booked to have my csection on the 12 due dates 16th. Hoping I go before the 12th tho!! Feels like I’ve been pregnant for years!!! I’ve not bothered with any tiny baby stuff as people have given me some. If I need to I’ll get more when he’s here. Had a scan on Wednesday, and he’s already 4lb41/2 so not expecting tiny baby will fit him by then. Xxx

millsbynight · 24/11/2017 20:52

I am hungry ALL 👏🏼 THE 👏🏼 TIME 👏🏼 I literally just eat and eat and can’t get full. Anyone else?

@Maybebaby2 scary and exciting at the same time! 37 weeks is absolutely fine but hopefully no earlier than that. You might be the next one of us whose baby arrives!

Can someone on the FB group let me know if any babies arrive so I can update the list. Thanks SmileSmile

Seven0fNine · 24/11/2017 20:59

Ahhh @maybebaby2 just saw this! Hope you're ok and getting your head round the idea. A lovely Christmas baby! Xx

Seven0fNine · 24/11/2017 21:01

And yes @millsbynight I'm starving especially in the mornings. Today's dilemma was that there were 4 weetabix left and I've been having 3 usually. So I had all 4 this morning. And then chose a chocolate bar at lunch time based on weight Grin ... oh and a chicken and stuffing butty as stuffing would fill me up more than avocado!!!

millsbynight · 24/11/2017 21:41

@Seven0fNine that sounds like a healthy and balanced diet today Grin I bought a pack of caramel digestives to put in my drawer at work thinking I’ll treat myself with 1 or 2 in the afternoon with a tea...

.. I ate the whole pack. THE WHOLE PACK 😵

OP posts:
Seven0fNine · 24/11/2017 21:46

It's fine!!!! We're totally allowed!!! There's actual human beings inside us. We can get away with anything we like at this point in our lives...everyone keeps saying so!

I asked the head at our school if she'd sing a song for the Christmas charity album (I'm a music teacher) and she agreed straight away just because "I daren't say no to a pregnant lady".... I was thinking "damn I should have asked for a pay rise!!!"

Owl1011 · 24/11/2017 21:57

@millsbynight I don’t think I’ve stopped eating since I found out I was pregnant! I haven’t stepped on the scales since my booking in appointment and have no intention of doing so now!

katmarie · 25/11/2017 00:13

I'm eating us out of house and home at the moment. I regularly have two breakfasts, lunch, snacks, dinner, more snacks and more often than not I have to have a midnight snack as well. Last Saturday I had a three course lunch in the pub and was thinking about what to have for dinner on the way home! Bump is getting bigger but I don't seem to be gaining any weight so no idea where it's all going!!!

Waitingonasmile · 25/11/2017 07:33

Is anyone else getting really bad leg cramps/spasms during the night? If I move quickly my muscle spasms/cramps and it's agony. Sad. Worst bit is my legs are sore the next day too!!!! As if SPD pain wasn't bad enough.

Disinterested · 25/11/2017 11:02

@maybebaby2 - fellow cholestasis sufferer with deranged bile acids here! Sorry to hear you have got it, although you seem to be taking it a lot better than I did, haha. I was diagnosed at 25 weeks and its taken 6 weeks for me to realise it's not the end of the world. I am also getting induced at 37 weeks and have weekly bloods.

Did they say what your levels were? Mine were 29 at diagnosis but dropped to 4 on URSO. Rose to 16 last week but back down to 7 again this week so all looking good. Did they speak to you about the pitches trial?

Disinterested · 25/11/2017 11:06

Oh and @maybebaby2 - I would recommend getting some smaller clothes I have got 3 tiny baby outfits (5 pounds) and a few up to one month outfits (7 pounds). I think being a 37 weeker it's likely the 0-3 months stuff may be a bit too big x

Fredthefrog · 25/11/2017 11:36

@waitingonasmile I have had some horrible leg cramps that wake me up and last night couldn't get comfortable any where as I got what felt like cramp. It calmed a bit but I could feel like the wrong movement would set I off. Also have painful hands due to developing carpal tunnel. Can't wait to see the physio! No advice just sympathy.

@Fredthefrog I googled it and it seems common Sad. The last few months of pregnancy are such fun Grin.

2 more weeks of work to go!!

Maybebaby2 · 25/11/2017 17:18

Thank you everyone think it's just hit me today and feeling a bit down about it but I'll pick up, just need some rest so I can think straight. Trying to stay positive, I know baby is ok and that's the most imporant thing. Just a bit scared of being induced and that she'll be tiny.

@Disinterested sorry you've also got this but it's sort of comforting to know someone else is going through the same thing if you know what I mean.
Glad you are feeling a bit better about it all, in one way it's good you've had plenty of time to process it. I feel like everything has changed so fast, I've gone from all being fine to being told I'll have baby in 4 weeks so I feel very unprepared at this moment!
They might have mentioned something about my levels but I've not taken every thing in. I'll ask about it at next appointment. Glad to hear yours are looking good. I've started taking the urso so hopefully it will help keep mine down too.
Have you been given an induction date yet and have you had any growth scans?

Disinterested · 25/11/2017 17:22

@maybebaby2 yes I totally understand. You'll be surprised now you've been diagnosed at how many people you know will say they know someone who has had it! No doubt urso will work for you - it brought mine down to normal levels in 24 hours. I've not been given an induction date yet, think I will be booking it in next Thursday and it will be around the 4th of Jan (when I am 37 weeks). I have had 1 growth scan and will be having another on Thursday, which is quite exciting :)

Just remember that with treatment and induction, the risks are no higher than that of an uncomplicated pregnancy. This is a stat i love!

Maybebaby2 · 25/11/2017 19:42

@Disinterested I like that stat! Will keep that in mind when I'm feeling wobbly about the whole thing. I've been told I won't have growth scans which I find a bit odd. I do have a scan next week to check if placenta has moved so I'm hoping they will measure her at the same time, as that's my main worry that she will be too small.

@Waitingonasmile I get the crampy legs too, had them for a while now and they really hamper my sleep! My midwife suggested a bath with Epsom Salts before bed. I've not tried it yet so can't say if it helps but might be worth a go.

MegRam · 26/11/2017 08:02

34 weeks today! @Waitingonasmile I'm getting the leg cramps during the night too, and agree it is a nightmare with SPD. Poor DH is constantly woken up by my swearing! Grin

Anyone else got any stretch marks? I have some just below my belly button now and I'm finding them to be quite sore!!
