I’m 24 weeks

I’m getting itchiness on the palm of my hands at night time with white tiny dots appearing afterwards! Is anyone else experiencing this?

Something that stuck out to me was my midwife said if I get itchy hands or feet - to phone them. I can't remember the reasoning but I'd phone them just in case

Yes this can be an important symptom to watch out for as a sign of a complication. Don't worry, just call your midwife/hospital and tell them

I’ll ring them today, it started on the side of my right hand last 2 nights and only just start itching on the palm last night. Thank you both!

My midwife said to phone immediately with itchy palms too, I think it’s something to do with your liver so I’d deffo call xx

I just spoke to out of hours cause I don’t have a direct number for my midwife, they told me to ring the normal 8-5 number first thing in the morning to book a blood test so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@Shabina have you been given a triage number for the maternity area in hospital? Could also try and call them seen as it's the weekend 😃

I’ve been given a 3rd number to call if it’s urgent or I think I’m in labour then I call that number.

Not one for maternity area in hospital

I rang the hospital number and they gave me the out of hours number to book a blood test! Lol

I’ll wait until morning now but anything worsens then I’ll call them again 🙂

Yes phone them immediately - itchy palms and feet can be a sign of cholestasis. Not dangerous for you but baby needs to be monitored!
