Itching like mad!

Over the last few days I have been really itchy all over but only at night time. Anyone else get this? Have googled this and it's freaked me a little as they are talking about liver function etc.......

When you googled I presume you found all the info about obstetric chloestasis, and yes this would freak you out. I had this with both my pregnancies and everything turned out fine. My itching was bad at night but limited to legs and arms. Just get yourself to your gp tomorrow and ask for a liver function test. If it is obstetric cholestasis it's very well recognised and monitored these days.

Take care and try not to worry (easier said than done I know).

Thank you, I will go and get checked out. That is what Google came up with. Glad you were ok

I was told by my midwife that I must contact her if I had any itch

Sorry.....

Any itching. Think she said particular hands and feet. Definitely get it checked out.

I'm getting this too, only at night time, it goes away if I take a shower though. Should I be calling my GP/Midwife?
