On Monday I had reduced movements so called assessment centre and they asked me to come in to get monitored. They checked blump and everything was grand with him.
They checked my urine and she asked if I was in any pain as they though I might have urinary infection, but I said it was more pressure than pain, my bp was also a little high.
A few weeks ago I had really itchy feet so was checked for obstetric cholestasis (which I think is when your liver stops functioning properly and the excess bile builds up in your body) results were normal then, but mw asked if I was still itchy on Monday (which I am at night, but not severely) so she said she would do bloods again just to check.
She has just rang to say that my bile levels are above normal and I am to keep an eye on my movements today and if reduced I'm to call them to come in and be monitored again. I'm in hosp tomorrow to see my consultant anyway (due to growth scans and excess amniotic fluid) but mw thinks with these blood results they may now look to induce.
I feel like crap, I've had a few problems throughout this pregnancy and just feel this is another thing to worry about. I really hope blump is ok, have had a cry about it and hubby has come home to keep me company.
Will update how I'm getting on and how appointment goes tomorrow. I have felt him move though
but will continue to keep an eye on him!
Ps there is a sticky at the top of the page about OC, always good to know what to look for as I think it can be dangerous if left undetected!
