ITCHING!!!!!!
Someone please send help, I feel like I am losing my mind with how itchy my body is over the past week! It gets so bad at night I actually can’t sleep and I am scratching to the point I’m making myself bleed and it’s not even relieving the itch. Mainly on my feet (toes especially) and hands. I cannot do this for another 7 weeks 😭

I think you need to bring this up with your midwife because im like 99% sure there’s something you can get during pregnancy that causes the itchiness and a big sign is if it’s in your hands and feet! I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called but it’s definitely something to mention to get looked at!
Thank you, I’ve text my midwife I just feel I needed to rant because I’m going crazy!
Yes I think you’re referring to cholestasis of pregnancy !
don’t wait and have bloods done at triage tomorrow
Can be a sign of obstetric cholestasis, they will check via bloods x
Please ring Triage ASAP and discuss with them. I was told by midwife when she asked me about these symptoms that it’s something to mention if it happens. Please don’t delay because of the time of night etc. Ring triage for the advice if nothing else. X
Thank you ladies! Will give them a call x
hope all is well and the itching is resolved soon x
thank you xx
I have this itching and I brought it up in my last midwife appointment but she didn’t seem to alert her and told me to contact the GP for it. It can drive you crazy . I tried baths and the creams but didn’t resolve completely. It’s much less tho
It could be PUPPP I had it with my first! It was the worse, make sure to go and get checked out
