Liver function abnormal

Need some reassurance. So I had my baby 2 months + ago, and I had 2 blood tests and all the results came back fine apart from my liver. They both came back really high.
Going off for my ultrasound today. Has anyone else had this?

Yes! But when pregnant, not after, I had single gallstone and where I also suffered HG during pregnancy it kept trying to dislodge the stone from my gallbladder, at its highest my lft came back at 167, normal range is like 14 I thibk

Yeah I had this at about 2 months postpartum - had an US and they said everything was fine…….then I had a further follow up blood test and they said all levels had returned to normal!! Xxxx

ahh okay! Bless ya! What did they do to sort it?!

Yes I did too from a blood test. They waited a month and redid them and it came back normal. Quite common from what my GP said so try not to worry xx

@Louise they got my sickness under control and my bloods went back to normal, guess the violent vomiting stopped making my gallbladder contract, still have gallstone but it can stay there

Hopefully like other ladies its just a post-partum blip and nothing sinister!

I’ve just had the same, 2 months PP. I had high blood pressure and protein to the end and after pregnancy which are both improving a lot but now I have abnormal liver function which has got worse with each blood test. I’ve just been asked to do another one this week and can’t help but worry. It just seems like one thing after another 😞 how many blood tests did you do before you were sent for an ultrasound? How did it go? X

I’ve had 2 blood tests so far and then after those 2 I went for an ultrasound which it came back all fine! But have got to have more blood tests done every 3-4 weeks

I was referred for an ultrasound too in the end and the same as yours it came back all fine and just have to keep repeating bloods. Hopefully it’ll just start to improve for both of us x

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
