I developed OC in my first pregnancy at 38w and was induced at 38+6 due to being past term/levels high.
I had manic scratching on the palms of my hands and my feets.

I’m now 10+4 with my second pregnancy, and have offhand realised today I have started itching my arms and legs.
I haven’t yet been booked in with the midwife (tomorrow, at last!) so I will ask tomorrow as I’ll have bloods done etc but I was told after I had my son it was likely it would return and I would be consultant led (which is fine, anything for baby to be healthy)

My question is, anyone who had OC/ICP - did it come back in a second pregnancy and how early was it? Almost 11w seems so early but I believe it’s not unheard of. No visible rash on my arms or legs yet.
