Itchy palms and feet during pregnancy can be very serious.

Check out the last paragraph from the NHS site. It is probably nothing but please do push to be seen x

Id go to triage, 40 mins is nothing compared to the potentially serious risk to you and baby.

So rude, why post asking for advice if you're going to shoot it down. Nowhere did you mention having a toddler and no village. Itchy hands and feet can be a serious risk to you and unborn baby and so in the grand scheme of things, a 40 minute drive for immediate attention really is nothing. I appreciate its difficult with a toddler but that also doesnt reduce the risk to you.

Your post literally says "what do I do"... and I said I'd go to triage - there's your advice.

👍🏻. Well I hope all is OK with baby anyway, despite the unnecessary anger towards me.

Go! I was diagnosed with icp at around 33w and was then monitored twice a week, it is very serious and can be very dangerous for baby.
