Hello,
I am new to mumsnet and have come here to vent some frustrations and see if anyone can help me alleviate/manage these symptoms I am currently experiencing.
This is my second pregnancy and it is SO different to my last. I have been suffering with morning sickness (it can be any time of the day - especially at night) and I am 27 weeks. The last couple of nights I have been getting these awful headaches where my vision is blurry and I feel like my head is going to explode, so I just have to go to bed even if it is 8pm. Then I wake up with tummy cramps and start throwing up. To finish it off I've had 3 massive nose bleeds, 2 in the night and one in the morning. I called my midwife and she cannot see me until the 28th Nov, another 2 weeks away. So now I'm waiting for a call back from the nurse at my GP to see if they will see me today to check my blood pressure etc.
Along with the above, I have severe itching all over, I have been using creams like child's farm and Aqueous to try and soothe it but it doesn't help, it's especially on my feet and chest, it is so irritating and I don't normally have sensitive skin. I didn't have any of this with my last pregnancy and now I think oh how lucky I was!
Has anyone else experienced these? Do you have any tips on how I can manage it better to gain a full nights sleep? - I am shattered!
Thanks in advance,
