i can't stop itching,PLEASE HELP! :0(

[*CLAIREBEAR*]

i cannot sleep as it is so bad,its everywhere!

my hands,feet,neck,arms,legs,everywhere.
ive just called the midwife (yes at this time of the morning!) as i am scratching myself to death as its so bad.
the MW (or lady who answers their calls after hours) told me to call my MW first thing in the morning to go to a drop in centre as it may be Obstetric Cholestasis .
im so worried now
will my baby be okay???

I'm sure baby will be fine. Hope you get things sorted in the morning.

They will give you blood tests for it hun, ive had god knows how many over the past month or so, it could just be hormonal changes but best to get checked, use talc to ease the itching i found this worked well

 

[*CLAIREBEAR*]

thanks mel,i'll try that.
she asked when i called if baby was moving okay.
he is,thank god, but ooooh this itching is driving me mad.
i am so tired but can't sleep with it,its a good job i bite my nails or i think i'd have taken half my skin off by now.

It is deffo hard to contend with, im up at this time nearly every night till bout 4-5am generally, more to do with restless legs but still not nice, i went to the hozzi a coupleof weeks ago, i phoned just to ask for some advice on my itching and they hadme go in for monitoring and tests, you will be fine to wait till tomoz though dont worry

Off topic i know but i just can't believe that so many of us are up. I just can't sleep no idea why i was really tired when i went to bed at 11 but woke just before 2 and couldn't get back to sleep. I guess this is normal now!

Anyway let us know how you get on with the midwifes.

i know im always awake at this time! i aint been to sleep yet and prob wont till about 4 and i expect ill be awake each hour lol! funny thing is though even if i get up at 8 or watever im still not tired during the day! so im not minding getting no sleep really at least ill be more prepared when the baby arrives

hope u feel better claire, maybe a soak will help x

Hun good luck for this morning, hopefully all will be fine

I think the sleeplessness happened to many of us, our bodies way of preparing us I think.

awww hun hope you managed to get some sleep.....

the itching is prob just hormonal changed, but as the MW said its best to get it checked in case it is OC.... hope you get some answers
