Itchy feet

Hi,
I’ve got extremely itchy feet. I’ve already had the liver blood test which was fine (retest in 2 weeks if still itching). My feet are unbearable.
Every night I put them in cold water before I go to bed and end up sleeping with an ice pack in a muslin. They are so itchy. I am also taking the anti histamine and have an anti itch cream.

Has anybody got any other ideas/what worked for you?

No advice but I have the same thing. Told the midwife she didn't really give a shit so will be bringing it up with my consultant next week. I'm also sleeping with an ice pack. Driving me mad.

Hi both, I had this In pregnancy (mine was because of cholestasis) and I was prescribed this cream - it's amazing! Dermacool Plus 2% Menthol Aqueous Cream – 100g https://amzn.eu/d/4ru39Oa

You both need to keep pestering your midwife/consultant/whoever as if it is cholestasis it can be quite dangerous for baby @Jammydodged - you've already had a blood test, but push for another before two weeks if you can, mine didn't show up straight away

Hope the cream helps in the meantime though! Flowers

I wasn't believed at all, went on for a while then my blood test confirmed it ... was then induced at 36 weeks for safety. Don't ignore it
