Aaaaagh, the itching!

[lookout]

Over the last few days I've started to get horrible itching all over my body but especially on my feet hands arms and legs. I've been reading up on OC and have got myself a bit worried about it. I am seeing the GP on Friday but do you think I should go in on Monday and get it checked? Also are there any other symptoms that might confirm what it is? I'm 35 weeks btw.

Bottom line if a person has OC and whether it is diagnosed in time or not, the end result could be the loss of a baby. There is no difference. The only difference is if the doctors diagnose it and get the baby out in time.

Obviously I hope everything works out for both of you and I was only answering the question.

Acatcalledfelix, tell your midwife that you'd like your bile acid test repeating. It's quite possible that you might not have had oc previously but have it now. Of course you could just be itchy for no reason! But it should be checked again as last test was a few weeks ago.

And if you can't see your midwife today or tomorrow see your gp.
