10 days ago my Midwife said baby’s head was 2/5ths engaged so I am assuming it is more enraged now. My heartburn is much better and baby’s bum is no longer rammed up against my ribs!

PurplePoppySeed · 10/12/2017 19:43

I'm meant to be 3/5 engaged yet still being kicked in the ribs and bum often pushes right up. The heartburn had gone but has come back so wondering if it has come back up Hmm

MummyM33 · 10/12/2017 21:55

@PurplePoppySeed I was 3/5 at my last midwife and still feeling baby kicking me in the ribs. I got it the wrong way round though and thought I had to get to 5/5 but actually it's the lower the better so 3/5 is still quite far off

Ilikeeyes · 10/12/2017 23:14

I'm another person who's managed to unbreach a baby using Spinning Baby techniques :)
I'm booked in for a growth scan on Wednesday because I'm consistently measuring big. If scan confirms a big baby, do they recommend inducing early? I'm 35+3 and not mentally prepared for baby to come this side of christmas!

Gemxo · 11/12/2017 05:35

Hi all, cannot sleep!!

I'm a little bit worried and my mind is doing overtime, the last week or so I've started to itch all over (chest, breasts, neck, back, back of hands) the itch isn't severe but it is there, my breasts have been the worst and i have previously left marks! When I've googled this it's brought up ICP? Which now has me terrified!

I've had itchy breasts for months now and never thought anything of it but now all of a sudden I'm itching all kinds of places! I have the midwife Friday, do I wait till then to speak to someone about it or would you recommend I book a dr's app ASAP

MegRam · 11/12/2017 06:55

I'd call @Gemxo - better to be over cautious and Friday is still a way away. Just to give you peace of mind, if nothing else xx

Gemxo · 11/12/2017 08:14

Got an app today for 17:10, hopefully dr will send me for bloods

Disinterested · 11/12/2017 09:54

Hi @Gemxo I would go get checked out today. I have ICP and so does somebody else on this thread. I itched months before my levels rose. Good luck.

millsbynight · 11/12/2017 10:16

Good luck @Gemxo really hoping it’s not ICP and it’s just your skin stretching as you grow, particular your boobs and bump will be itchy as that skin is stretched the most.

ElleMcElle · 11/12/2017 11:04

Good luck today @Gemxo - definitely doing the right thing by getting checked out. Hopefully it will put your mind at rest.

Just wondering if any of you who are London based have done a pregnancy photo session? I wasn't going to do one, but now think it would be nice to have nice photos to look back on... Is there anyone you'd recommend in the London area?

Gemxo · 11/12/2017 19:26

Ok so I seen the dr, she was lovely. She referred me for bloods straight away to rule out ICP and didn't try and blame the itching on anything else which I was worried might happen as I know GP's have brushed me off in the past!

Will have my bloods taken tomorrow morning, hopefully will get some answers the same day and it will be all clear! Fingers crossed

Disinterested · 11/12/2017 19:51

Hi @Gemxo, glad you went. Do you mind me giving you a little advice? Your doctor may be sending you for a liver function test, which, if raised, can indicate ICP. However, only 40% of women diagnosed with ICP present with raised LFTS. It's really important that they test your bile acid, as this is the only thing they use to diagnose ICP. So, without telling them how to suck eggs, please insist that they test your bile acid levels, not just your LFTS. Good luck tomorrow Smile

Gemxo · 11/12/2017 20:11

Hi @Disinterested here is my referral form with the blood tests I'll be having, I think I remember her saying she was testing my vile levels

Mummyme87 · 11/12/2017 20:18

If your baby is measuring over 95th centile you may be offered Induction around 39weeks likeeyes

I’m on annual leave 🎉 no more work until January 2019

ziggzagg · 11/12/2017 22:20

Is anyone snoring more than usual? DH has been on the sofa for two weeks now and it's starting to stress me out because I obviously want him in bed with me! I usually snore but only lightly! Any tips? You could save my marriage!!Grin

Mummyme87 · 12/12/2017 02:26

I’m snoring badly now plus have a cold. I use a spray to clear my nose and seems to help a little

ReturnofSaturn · 12/12/2017 05:12

Hi guys. I'm due 30th Jan.

I had a scan a few weeks ago at 30 weeks and the babies head is measuring very large!! I looked the measurement up and it was like the average size head of a 35 weeker!!
Does anyone know what this means? Is there likely to be something wrong with my babies head/brain? Sad

Disinterested · 12/12/2017 11:39

@Gemxo oh that's excellent then, GLRAD is gestational liver renal antenatal department, so will include bile acid levels. Your doctor is far more on the ball than mine, it was fortunate that I knew what I was looking for on the blood forms or I'd have not been diagnosed. Good luck today, I'm sure you don't have it - but even if you do it's really not a big deal and nothing to worry about. You'll just be monitored weekly and be induced early :)

@returnofsaturn please do not worry. Your sonographer or doctor will have picked up anything untoward with babies brain by now! I think a big head just means more to squeeze out, haha.

Waitingonasmile · 12/12/2017 14:44

36 week growth scan and baby is roughly 5 pound 3 ounces. I thought he would have been bigger by now when he was 3 pounds 15 ounces at 31 weeks. Does anyone else know what their babies are roughly weighing?

Mummyme87 · 12/12/2017 15:31

I have a growth scan on Friday, they are incredibly inaccurate when looking at other babies particularly.
My DS was estimated 7lb 10oz at 36weeks, he was 10lb 5oz at birth 4weeks later.
This one was estimated 3lb 5oz at 30weeks although apparently this is not likely to be correct as there is a new measuring calculation and the whole weight was based majorly influenced by one measurement.
At a guess I think this baby will be around 6lb 5oz on Friday, I’ll be 35+4. Who knows 😂

Maybebaby2 · 12/12/2017 17:29

@Gemxo hope your test comes back clear, but don't worry if it's positive, I've got ICP too and it really isn't anything to worry about. The itching is pretty much the worst part of it but mine isn't too bad at all now I'm on the medication. They will want to induce you around 37 weeks, I'm going in at 37+6 so basically 38 weeks. That was the bit that worried me but I've got used to the idea now, 37/38 weeks is absolutely fine for baby to be born. Let us know when you get results back.

@Waitingonasmile I had growth scan a couple of weeks ago I was 34+1 and baby was 5lb 3oz. They estimated baby will be about 6lb 8oz when I'm induced but I'm not taking that as written because when I had ds they said he'd be 5lb something and he was 7lb 10oz!

ElleMcElle · 12/12/2017 18:46

Eek - 36 +2 and pelvic pain (felt in pubic bone) so bad I could hardly walk at one point today. Seems to be much worse when I also need a wee (which is most of the time). Anyone else really suffering with this now?

Ruthcarr1990 · 12/12/2017 19:06

@Waitingonasmile I went 3 weeks ago, baby was measuring 4lb4 1/2 got another scan next week. I seem to of just ballooned. Any one had a previous c section? I did any my scar is so sore and itchy. Just had enough now. Last day at work on Friday!! I can not wait!!! I’m counting down the hours xxx

Disinterested · 12/12/2017 19:23

@waitingonasmile my boy was measuring 4lb 6oz at 32 weeks but it's highly likely that this is inaccurate. I take these measurements with a pinch of salt.
