I went to my doctor this morning to ask for something stonger for my abdominal pain. (Some of you might remember that 2 weeks I had an ovarian cyst burst and I've been bedridden since). Anyway I mentioned to her that the doctor I saw about 3 weeks ago prescibed some cream for my eczema and that it burnt, so I asked for a different cream. The discoloration and eczema is mainly on my torso but I get itching even where there is no eczema. I have never had it this bad before.
She actually looked at my sking and pointing to some areas of grey/yellow skin in the middle of my red irritated skin asked if these were there before. I said no, so shes ordered liver function tests.
Now I'm terrified!!! I heard about excessive itching when I was pregnant with DD and have heard of Cholestasis. The surgery can't take blood till next Wednesday due to the long weekend.
If it were something like that (and I know its rare) there is still every chance that this baby will be alright isn't there?????
I'm 14 weeks, had an IUD removed at 8 weeks, been hospitalised with hyperemesis, and hospitalised with my ruptured cyst. And to be honest I don't think I can take many more complications...
Does anyone have a similar experience and been ok??? Can anyone stop me going mad???
