So we are now 31 weeks today. WOOHOO!! One more week and we've reached our first goal of 32 weeks which is 8 months which is when the doctor said it's safe... !!!!! WOOT!
Now the itching hasn't gone away... pooy! Got some of the blood work back on Monday and the doctor said that some of the liver tests were a little high, but he's not quite sure what to do about it yet. So I still won't get the one test back till tomorrow or Friday (I'm expecting Friday) and being they were a little high he asked me to go get more blood work done today (Wed) to see where the numbers are going. So they usually have the no news is good news concept, so I'm hoping that everything will get better but if there's anything I should hear back from most of it by Friday. I've been given Benadryl to take during the day to alleviate the itching, it hasn't stopped completely, just took a bit of the edge off, but night time was bad so when I talked to the Doctor again on Monday he's now prescribed Apo-Hydroxyzine, which is an anti-histamine that will make me sleepy. I'm only to take one at night before I go to bed to help with the itching and let me sleep more than the 2 hours I was sleeping. So far it's worked ok, Monday I slept from 11ish till 4am (got up to pee :P ) then went back to bed till almost 10am... so I consider that a success. Last night I took it around 9 and slept till 2, and got up a few times to pee, baby was kicking in a weird spot so I had more problems sleeping. Got up at 5am to take Polar Bear to Fergus for work and went and got blood work done, and went back to bed around 8am till noon-ish (of course waking up a few times to pee and such. So I think it's working mostly. I'm still itchy and my skin feels irritated but it's not driving me crazy at the moment and I thank the meds for that.
So now we wait till Friday and see if there's anything new in the blood work. I'll keep you posted!
