I'm 31 weeks pregnant and fed up. I was diagnosed with OC last Monday, and I've itched my legs and feet so much that I've made them bleed and swell. I have menthol cream and piriton but it's not doing anything to help.

I haven't been monitored since last Monday, so I'm stressing about every (non) movement and it's driving me insane. I haven't got any medication for the OC yet, and not likely to get any until next Wednesday when I see the consultant.

Also last Monday, I was measured as usual and was told that the baby is smaller than she should be and isn't following her predicted centile (or whatever you call it!) So I'm praying that she's grown a little as I have a MW appointment today.

I have a scan tomorrow at the radiology dept to look at my gallbladder, don't get me wrong, this is good so they can see if things are working as normal. I'd so love someone to come with me, I'm so fed up with going to these appointments on my own. My DH is a subby, so not work no pay, and we don't have anyone else.

I have some really odd bruising on both my thighs which looks horrible. They're all purple and black and it looks as though it's getting worse. It could be to do with the itching I don't know. It's now spread to the tops of my thighs as well as all over my knees.

I have THE worst cold I think I've ever had. I'm so stuffed up, that I can't even get any nasal spray in! I burst into tears this morning, pleading with DH not to go to work. If it wasn't for the fact the my beautiful 2 year old DS was going to nursery this morning, I think I really would collaspe in a heap on the floor. I think he deserves a break from me anyway, because all I've done is shout at him and make him cry :(

Meh.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so miserable, noobs - but it sounds to me like you have every reason to rant and stop! I'm sorry that I have no practical advice but didn't want to read and run. The bruising sounds a little weird, though - is there a chance of getting a normal GPs appt to check that out?
