ITCHY!!!

[SPR1107]

Last night I kept waking up with itchy hands and feet... mostly feet.
Got up this morning and it pretty much had gone, so thought maybe I'd just got too warm.
This evening it has come back, and now the more I'm thinking about it, the more I feel itchy everywhere!!!!

I've turned to Dr Google, which has suggested Obstretic Cholestasis (I already have a liver issue called Gilbert's Syndrome).
Anyway, should I be calling someone now or wait til tomorrow when the doctors will be open?

Hi SPRI
I think you should phone maternity assessment at your unit to get advice.
They will want to take bloods so might arrange a daycare appointment for you now.

Yeah I agree with PP - call maternity assessment now. That's what they're there for and will definitely help.

I have this. I dont think you need to rush to call tonight, but you should try and get a blood test tomorrow (although urgency might depend how far along you are).
Could be related to your existing liver issue though.

Listened to you guys. They called me straight in. Had bloods done and I'm currently on the monitor.
I think just precautionary as I have an underlying liver condition

Well done for going in. It's always best to get these things checked straight away.
I hope everything is ok. Xx

I have Gilbert’s Syndrome too!
In my last pregnancy I was itchy but it was more ‘all over’. I insisted on tests due to OC so I was tested but didn’t have it. I think my skin was just itchy from being stretched.
Good luck!
Ps I found an Aqueous menthol cream was the best soother (you can get it in Boots).
