Thanks I hope it's over soon too! He is one big dude...Ugh. As of a week ago he was 7 12 so I'm packing a line backer. It's time for me to meet him. I was spotting yesterday and loosing more of my plug so hopefully if I do some jumping jacks today he will come flying out...LOL. Honestly tho with all the complications I had earlier in my pg I'm truly grateful to be this far but now it's enough. I'm due monday so it would be nice to be done.....Your kids are so cute! Omg what lil dolls. Have you adjusted to 2 kids instead of !? For me that was the biggest change by baby 3 I was like oh this is easy. It was hard going from 1-2 but in a month or 2 I had a rountine and it was a piece of cake. I love my zoo...LOL Thanks for the note I will ttyl...

Thanks so much. You are cute but honestly I"m huge like really really really huge! Yes I'm ready to pop! No I tried a few times and could not open the link. I will check out your profile on here and see if you posted up some new pics. How are you feeling how is your lil one? Did you have a c-sec or a vag? My dr wants me to have a vag since the 2 c's I have had I had complications post partum. Ya umm if my baby is as huge as I think he is, not going to happen. My body can only handle so much. So tues I have a u/s to see his weight and from there we will figure out a plan! It was awesome to hear from you! Congrats again hun I'm so happy for you!

Hey!! How are you doing momma? How's that precious baby girl? You need to post some pics! I bet she is just absolutely beautiful! =) I have been having some minor complications. Apparently my cervix is very soft right now (which my midwife didn't want to see until 32-37 weeks) and I am only 27w 2d. My midwife is really concerned and I am not suppose to do much anymore, other than lay down and drink lots of water. I have been having a lot of contractions at night, some are consistent. Never a dull moment. I just want baby to stay put for another 8-9 weeks and we will be okay.

Haven't seen you on here lately - - just checking on you. You doing ok?
Wanted to let you know too that I did get the dr. to repeat my bile serum test, so I should know the results Friday. I am getting SOOO ready for this baby to make his appearance! I am SO miserable! Such is the ninth month though - i guess.

I forgot to tell you my levels Cholic was 1.9, Deoxycholic was 1.5, Cenodeoxycholic was 1.5, and total was 4.9
Jun 09
Ok - so you got me thinking. And I'm going to go back to the dr. tomorrow for a repeat of the lab work (its been 8 days since the last sample) to see what happens. I'm just really stressed about the whole thing. I'm so far into my pregnancy I just don't know what to do bc time isn't really on my side being I'm 37 weeks now. If my bile test came back normal does that mean that up until that day of the test that the baby hasn't been negatively effected.
Jun 08
I'm going to really monitor my itching over the next few days though to make sure I'm not missing anything. I only really have it on my legs and at night, so we'll see...What's going on with you? I see you are waiting to find out about something..what's up?
Jun 08
I got my results from the labwork on friday - liver function test and the bile salts/serum tests. They were both normal - I can't remember the level on the bile salts (I'm at work and they are at home), but it was within the normal range. My dr says if my itching increases we will do the tests again - but i don't really know how that will work out - I'm already in my 37th week and if we were going to delive we would need to be getting ready to do that now. Its stressful to think that the tests may be giving me false relief, I've been praying about it and I've just gotta have faith.

I'm glad your daughter hung in there and waited to meet you closer to her due date. That is odd that your labor came on and then ended. That is great! Are you and your man going to be moving in together etc? I hope everything works out for you, you deserve it. Wow already talking about another one you must love pg! Good for you 3 or 4 is a great number. It's alot of fun. Keeps you young and busy! Take care it was great to hear from you. Before you know it we will be posting up pics! I will ttyl....

I will definitely let you know once I get the results! Is the meds continueing to work for your itching? I sure hope so!! When are they thinking of delivering your little one?
Jun 03
Yes! Don't know what it was really - my hemoglobin was a little low so I'm starting iron supplements, but who knows! I really haven't been too stressed this pregnancy, and then it seems like all the poo has hit the fan right here at the end! I was hoping to get the results yesterday, but my dr. called and said they hadn't come back from the lab yet. He says its not a test he does regularly so he's not really positive about the return time.
I did get checked at the hospital though - just to be sure bc I was having some pretty regular BH right before and after I passed out, but my cervix was closed up tight, so even though I feel like he will fall out any minute (yeah right! if only it were that simple) he apparently isn't going to LOL! Thank you for checking on me

Thanks. Ya I have had this pain since march and it was confirmed by a vag u/s that my cervix is changing so it seems when this pain is at the height my cervix changes and now that I'm far along my cervix is dilating. It should be interesting to see how much more I'm dilated. As for my pelvis it feels broken and that I have a hot bowling ball shoved up my area! It hurts like a b. Ouch. Yes I'm too ready for this to be over. I don't think I can do this again. I want to enjoy this to the very end since this is my last baby but it's hard because I'm so uncomfortable. How are things with your man going? What happened with the pre-term labor? I will ttyl..

LOL! I wish. I'm the most uncomfortable I have ever been in any of my pgs. My dr said the more babies you have the more pain you have. He also told me last wk when I saw him at this point the pain only gets worse and he said especially at night. Well I have it all day too. No matter what I do I feel like my pelvic bone is broken n I have a hot bowling ball stuck up in my region! It really hurts. I"m a centimeter dilated so I hope labor is near. His lungs were seen fully functioning at 28 wks on a 3 d u/s so I think he would be fine if I delivered now! Ugh! My back is killing me I'm 192 now I went from 127. I"m like ya let's get this over not to mention all the complications. How have you been?

Ugh! I really really hope that i don't have it!!! I am so freaked out about it now - especially since it can cause stillbirth and bc my dr is still up in the air about whether I am 34 and half weeks along or 35 and half weeks. Didn't bother me before, but it will be important if I have to deliver early bc of OC. I'm just really worried
May 29
Thank you for everything! I called my Dr's office yesterday and they had me come in this morning to talk to the Dr. He ordered tons of bloodwork (to include the liver function test and the bile test) right off, so I was really happy that I didn't have to beg and plead with him. He's not certain that I have cholestasis, but he wants the bloodwork to rule it out. Thank you so much for your support on this! I would have never known to get it checked - I would have just went on thinking that it was just "a pregnancy thing" and went on itching like crazy
May 28
I would love to see your research. I'll send you a message with my email address - if you don't mind sharing. I'm SO glad your appointment went well! I hope when the Dr's office calls me back they can tell me something - I'm going nuts! Good luck with your treatment and let me know if the med helps. Do they think they will have to take the baby early or do they think you will be fine to carry full term?
May 28
It makes me crazy and it keeps me up all night long! and then its like it just goes away and then the next afternoon starts to rear its ugly head again! Its SO confusing! Again though, thank you for the info, and being willing to share with me your experience. When is your appt with the high risk OB?
May 28
Thank you for all of the info! I was up last night (itching) and got on the comp to look at the reasearch out there. I have a call in to my Dr's office and am waiting on them to call me back. I went to my regular appt on Tues, but I didn't mention the itching bc I wasn't sure if it was just dry skin or hormones, but it seems to keep getting worse, so I'm gonna see what my Dr. says. Its so weird - its mainly on my legs and doesn't really get consistant until after about 6:00 at night and then the torture starts - I can't even lay still!
May 27
I hope all goes well with your appt with the HR OB and the they understand how to treat your issue! My itching has gotten alot worse in the last week, and I was wondering where, physically, you are experiencing the itching? I read that cholestasis is mainly feet and hands, but mine is mainly my legs. Just wondering...
May 21
You poor poor thing! I can't even imagine how you must feel all the time. =( So basically it won't go away until you have the baby then? (((HUGS))))
I am doing pretty good. Hanging in there. Always so sore down there for some reason....lol. I think the baby puts pressure there or something. So you have a facebook? I do as well. I have more photos on medhelp then I do on there but I get on there a lot. How can I look you up and add you? (If you don't mind!)
Well you take care and I hope you get some relief soon.

You are definately not alone! LOL! Pregnancy leaves me wondering - what the heck is going on? - most of the time. I'm not having contractions, but I have had weird symptoms the last three days. A few hours after I'm up, showered, fed, and working I start feeling like total c r a p. I get hot, feel really nauseas, feel like i'm going to pass out, can't hold my head up , break out in a cold sweat, and then have to go to the bathroom (#2). It passes after an hour - and then I'm fine. WEIRD! OH - and you SO jinxed me! I told you my itching went away - and then it was back Saturday night and this morning!! Ugh!! Maybe it is short term though. How is your itchiness?
May 01
hey girl how are you? hope everything is great, im exhausted its so hard having two kids close in age, i need some alone time lol, i seen britney spears this week with my sisters and cousins,so that was fun!
Apr 27
Oh no! What exactly is that? Does it have any effect on the baby at all? I hope everything turns out okay!! I was having some pain, but now it has let up and just comes and goes instead of being constant. No UTI and the u/s didn't show anything abnormal, thankfully. So I guess it's my ligaments stretching! Oh the joys....please let me know how everything goes! Praying for ya.
Apr 27
Hey! dropping you a note to say hi!! How are you doing? Hope all is well!! Take care!
Apr 17
Hey girl!!! I'm doing pretty good. Having some pain in my lower belly for the last 3 days non-stop and if it's not gone by the morning I am going to see my midwife to try to figure out what's going on. ugh! I hope it's just my uterus stretching, but my midwife was a little concerned. I'll let you know when I find out. Other than that, the baby has been moving and kicking like crazy! I love it. so active the last 2 days. =) You could even see the movements from the outside!
