Itching 35+5

Is anyone else super itchy? I feel the need to wash everything all the time - blankets, bedding, clothing... it's becoming unbearable! I keep getting these raised spots that I put down to sweat spots but on my feet they are so sore! My feet have also swollen up so much that walking is a nightmare! Please tell me I'm not alone! X

You definitely not alone , been dealing with belly ,leg and arm itch since the last 10 weeks 😫😫😫
Is worse during the night when you want to sleep 😏
But is normal they Said it will all disappear after birth .

Same. I woke up crying last night from the itch. I had a proper meltdown - crying to my husband that I just had enough! Feel shattered today. Exactly the same - rash like from the heat. Nothing helps 😢

I would run this past your midwife especially if your hands and feet are itchy! It can be normal hormone related itching but it can also be something called ICP which needs to be dealt with urgently xx

Contact midwife an discuss obstetric cholestasis which affects your liver. Side effect-umbearable itching, specialy at night. I was diagnosed with OC and got medication. And your liver will need to be monitored.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
