Anyone had severe body itching during pregnancy? Or boils in inner thigh and back?
Does it indicates that child in womb is baby boy??? WinkWinkplease share experience

Yes I would get randomly itchy in the evening but it seems to have stopped the last few weeks. And I am having a boy!

How far are you?
Probs best to get MW to do bloods;

Symptoms of ICP

The main symptom is itching, usually without a rash. For many women with ICP, the itching is often:

more noticeable on the hands and feet, but can be all over the body
worse at night
Other symptoms can include:

dark urine
pale poo
yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice), but this is less common
Symptoms of ICP typically start from around 30 weeks of pregnancy, but it's possible to develop the condition as early as 8 weeks.

I know there are some concerns with itching so check with your mw however I was soooo itchy in v. Early pregnancy ( before I knew!) And again in late pregnancy. I had a boy.

I went through a period in the 2nd trimester where I was so itchy and out in a rash, dr said it was normal. My mum had it in her pregnancies with my brothers not with me, I don't know what I'm having but I'm guessing boys (twins lol)
