the itching on your nose / face / body is totally normal - a side effect of morphine!! just ask for an antihistamine next time it happens!! i scratched my nose so bad it bled before i realised what i was doing!! Piriton sorted that out!!
let them know how you respond to morphine - with it making you sick, and they should be able to give you something to stop you being sick!!
hopefully you'll get passed 30weeks this time!!
promise me you will tell them today!!
i know it is a huge pain in the bum that you are going 2x a week, but the docs obviously think you are worth it, honey!! i can assure you, we dont see everyone unless we really need to!!
i know what you mean about prem babies - you think they are ok, then something else crops up! but that is kids, isnt it - you know they'll pull thru in the end, after making you gray haired with worry!
please be good today and tell them!!
