Itchy 21 weeks

[mumsofboys]

In the evenings only I am itchy all over. So uncomfortable with it.

I have a lot going on and have a lot of anxiety at the moment, the evenings is the time I 'over think' wondering if it's related??

Or something else.

Going to call my midwife tomorrow.

Call your midwife, it could be hormonal or could be cholestasis, although I'm not sure how early you can get symptoms for it. I was diagnosed around 28 weeks ish, they'll check by blood tests x

Thank you- I gave them a call but they said as I didn't have it with previous baby I shouldn't get it. I. Going to ask for a blood test anyway I think as it's so uncomfortable

Do ask for a blood test. I didnt have it in any of my previous pregnancies x

Definitely ask to be tested for obstetric cholastasis- I didn't have it in my 1st pregnancy but did in my second.

My consultant said about 80% women who have it get it in other pregnancies too. So you may be one of the lucky 20% who only have it in 1 of 2 pregnancies!

Whenever I'm itchy like that it's been caused by anaemia.
Currently awake due to it actually

I'll defo get a blood test form at my scan tomorrow. Thank you ladies!
