I hope all turns out well. Wouldn't it be great to meet Annika.

Yes, it would be wonderful. I'm really hoping they decide to just do it tonight since I haven't eaten since 10am. That would be such a relief! I really, really, really want to get it over with.

Ok guys, this will likely be my last update until we're home from the hospital Sunday or Monday. Everything went well at the NST today, but they still are pushing for a c-section. I'm okay with that at this point. I have a c-section scheduled for 2pm tomorrow afternoon. I'm very excited. I'm very ready to get this whole thing over with. They're going to continue checking me for progress up until I'm prepped for surgery, so hopefully something will happen between now and then. As of now, nothing's changed. I am, however, having regular contractions at this point, so we'll see.

My mom took Tori for the night and she's going to keep her until tomorrow night so I'll be able to relax here for my last evening. I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow. Its going to feel so good to be well rested for this baby. Last time I was so exhausted from being induced that I didn't get to enjoy very much of the first few hours. This time I'll at least have had a good night's sleep.

I'm sad that I wasn't able to go through with the vbac, but I'm not devastated or anything. At this point a c-section feels right to me. I would have had the choice to wait a few more days, but I just didn't want to anymore. I will be very relieved when this is all over with and we have our little Annika in our arms.

Oh Angie--how exciting! I'm glad you're ok with everything, and at this time tomorrow, the new little one will be here :D

Take care, get a good night's sleep and drink in every minute. I'll be sending positive "baby energy" your way :)

Angie,

I'm glad that you are ok with the idea of having another C-section, I know that it is healthier for you with everything that is going on, and Im sure that everything will resolve after the baby is here even if it will take a few days for the swelling to go down. Working here at the hospital and see a lot of women with very swollen feet and legs but they feel so much better.

(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) to you and the baby everything will go smoothly

Glad the non-stress test went well and everything looks good.

It will be nice for you to have a good night's rest or at least some relaxation. I hope your contractions progress for you, otherwise I'll be thinking of you and holding little Annika after your section.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Morgan Tiernan! I find it outrageous that your physicians refused to test you for celiac disease despite what were obviously outbreaks of dermatitis herpetiformis. Every physician should know that dermatitis herpetiformis is a classic symptom of celiac disease! In fact, celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis and because dermatitis herpetiformis has such a distinctive appearance with the pustules in the bumps they should recognize what it was. There is just no excuse for this! You do not mention having any GI distress so I'm sure they were discounting the possibility of celiac disease because of that. Anyway, one thing that might be helpful to you is to look into a low iodine diet. Iodine exacerbates dermatitis herpetiformis. There is also a med called Dapsone which is effective for dermatitis herpetiformis but it needs to be used with caution as it puts stress on the liver. So, if you were taking Dapsone you would need to have your liver enzymes checked regularly. Not every dermatologist is familiar with the correct way to biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis so I hope it was done correctly in your case. My understanding is that the samples need to be taken next to the bumps and not on the bumps. At any rate, if your biopsy is positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you have your official celiac diagnosis. By the way you spell "coeliac" I'm assuming you live in the U.K. If so, there may be some extra benefits available to you if you have an official diagnosis. Keep us posted.

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      By Richardo · Posted

      I've never had problems with quinoa but I always rinse it well before cooking in case it's processed with other grains. I think quinoa is classified as a seed. I can't eat grains at all but I can eat all seeds. Ain't the human body a pandora's box of surprises???

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi there! I’m new here and very grateful to any information that can be provided on the topic of Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I’m 22 years of age and have been struggling with this rash since the age of 19. We’re pretty sure it was brought on after having Covid (which resulted in shingles on my backside and strep a year or so later ) I struggle with intense itching and burning which often cannot be reached by a scratch. A find myself applying pressure on the skin in the early stages of it developing. Once it surfaces, small fluid filled blisters can be seen, most often on my chest, back, forearms and forehead (but has sometimes been in more places). We have only recently discovered its link to eating gluten, however getting doctors to listen to me has been a real struggle. They refused to test me for coeliac and offered me no follow up information or care plan, leaving me with no choice but to follow a gluten free diet off my own whim. The rash instantly improved in a couple of days, but of course I now struggle to be tested appropriately without having to go back to eating the dreaded stuff. Anytime I reintroduce it I become so unwell with dermatitis herpetiformis and tiredness. I am also struggling with outbreaks in between taking oral steroids to treat a flare up after being glutened (steroids provided by my private dermatologist thank goodness for him!) We’re now in the process of waiting for a skin biopsy, but I’m finding the outbreaks in between difficult to manage. I enjoy going to the gym but also dance competitively. Sweat seems just to irritate like nothing else. dermatitis herpetiformis has got in the way of so many aspects of my life already and I’m struggling now to navigate it affecting me doing the things I enjoy.  I’m after some advice from anyone who can relate or has experience of similar issues. I struggle to get this information from health care professionals so would love any advice or support from anyone if possible.  Thank you so much for your time

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance  on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so refractory is out of the question based on my talk with dr. If Scott is right and there are so many intolerance in food for celiac what is left to eat?? And now histamine? I mean what should i eat? Maybe gastritis is doing all this trouble? Thanks Kind regard

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @Richardo, I'm in the same boat as you! I can't handle certified gluten free oats at all. Quinoa is the worst, even when I soak it in water and then wash under the tap for 10 minutes ... I have a reaction. It must be an immune system reaction to the proteins in these gluten-free grains.
