Itchy all over

[Dygital]

I’ve noticed itchy skin mainly on my chest and shoulder blades for the last two weeks, since a couple days ago it’s become all over my body like thighs, top of feet, face, neck, back, waist.
I rang the L&D and they’ve told me to go in and do a fasting blood test tomorrow to make sure it’s not Cholestasis as i’ll be 38 weeks tomorrow. it’s just random itching like every 10 seconds i’ll have an itchy spot and i don’t have any rashes or bumps on my body at all. has anyone else had this issue at all?

Hi
yea I had it on the top of my feet like INTENSE itching I wanted to scratch my feet off! It went away after a couple of week though x

I have exactly the same! Did you ever find out what it was? I went for bloods today and it came back negative for ICP. The labour line told me to get some Aqeous cream and take piriton but it hasnt made much of a difference to the random spots of itching but its incessant!

I never actually found out what it was, I ended up having baby boy at 39+1 and have since stopped itching, maybe hormones or dry skin? good luck with your bubs! 💕

Yep I had this! I’m currently 40+5. I had itching quite a few times and had several blood tests but they were always borderline so I never got diagnosed with ICP.

Midwife patronisingly told me that I just have pregnancy itching which is normal. I prob just had too many baths and used products which irritated my skin or something.

Post partum I am going to the docs though to ask for a liver US to make sure I don’t have any gallbladder issues.
