How many more days can i live without sleep???
For the last few nights my itching has reached a peak!! Its more noticeable during the day now, and by early evening i just can't sit still. I actually dread going to bed because i know i won't get to sleep, i think the mixture of the room being warm, the covers on me, OH trying to squash up against me (he got a severe elbow to the ribs last night lol) It just gets unbearable!!! I got up about 8 times last night just to sit on the edge of the bath to run cold water on my hands and feet, but the itch is now spreading up my arms and legs, and for some strange reason, my lips are itching quite badly too!
I remember being given piriton with my last pregnancy in tablet form, i do have some liquid here, does anyone know if its safe to take? I wasnt sure if the tablets i was prescribed were weaker if you see what i mean. It didnt help with the itching last time, but did succeed in making me drowsy enough to fall asleep regardless.
Seeing my midwife again today, i know all she'll do is send me for more bloods and monitoring, and it all seems a bit pointless to be honest. Their policy is not to induce til 40 weeks unless the baby becomes distressed, so at the moment i'm pretty sure i'm gonna have to suffer another 12 weeks of this

I'm just a lurker really as i'm not ttc but am obsessed with wanting to!!! I never post because of this but i came across your post and remembered reading the following post:

I hope i don't scare you or i'm sorry if i'm stating the obvious but wondered if you were aware of this condition.
I hope all is well with your pregnancy but I figured it's better to be safe than sorry so thought i'd post.
Best wishes hun! xx
Good luck TTC, have you decided when oyu're going to start? x
That's good, i have no idea about the condition just remembered reading that post a few days ago and so it rang bells when i read your post. I hope the results come back ok and that you and bump will be ok in spite of it.
Edited my reply-it's all sorted now!
xx
How long do you have left hun?
