Mornig all.
Congrats Caz.
OMG I could scream, my tummy is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo itchy and sore! have just phoned the docs, I was up half the night scratching too
I need a cream to help with the itching but as the pharmasist told me he can only sell me paracetamol of gaviscon yesterday I thought it best to ask the docs really.

Just a quick question.
Do you need a full bladder for the 20 week scan???
Thanks

astonsmummy

Dooleys I've not needed a full bladder at any of my scans.
I dont knwo if all scanning depts are the same though.

No Dooleys, the baby has popped over the top of your pelvis now so the bladder won't cover it if it's empty...

Hope they can sort you something out AM!

And Sami... 8 kids?!

AM - don't be surprised if they want some of your blood too, there is something to do with ur liver that is common in preg that causes a super itchy bump :rolleyes:
Krystal - I will NOT be having another 6 after this one!!!!

Nikabella

Oh yes AM, I don't want to worry you but make sure you get your itchyness checked. Our friend has had 3 children & each time she has developed that liver problem that makes you itch (can't remember for the life of me what it's called & too lazy to google) so has had to be induced at 37 weeks to keep her & the babies safe.

It may of course just be that your skin is adverse to being stretched lots!

Nikabella - have you had chicky pox before? I'm really paranoid about Chris catching it while I'm preg even tho I've had it before it's just my luck that I'd be one of those that got it a 2nd time! :eek:

Sami_Bee

Yeah I had it when I was about 11 but I'm the same, I'm really paranoid that I might get it. This baby is so special it's worrying me that it might all go wrong. I was thinking I might call the health visitor & see what she thinks?

If he does catch it though you can have your antibodies checked, and if you aren't immune from your first exposure they will give you antibodies which will give you a temporary immunity.


...I'm only 12 weeks and so far this pregnancy I've been exposed to both chicken pox and measles :eek:
