Hi, I’d be asking initially to get my bloods taken to check liver function and bile acids (eat before getting these taken)! I was itchy in both my pregnancies and turned out to be cholestatis. Once diagnosed I was monitored regularly and both babies born early.
You may not have this and could just be itchy! But menthol cream helped me xx
Ask them for a blood test for ICP itchiness can indicate problems
It can also just be hormones
Ive had it since 15 weeks and am on a daily dose of benadryl allergy relief x
Do you have GD?

Anyone suffered with postnatal preeclampsia?
I'm 6 days PP and ended up getting induced a day before my due date as I had protein in my urine and high bp. I've had my baby now but blood pressure is still up, I've been put on labetalol and also nifedipine as my bottom figure is still just over 100..
The anxiety I get everytime a midwife puts the cuff on is horrible every other day, it's only been six days. They wanted to keep me in for 24 hours but I said no and they added another medication. The woman told me 'you're probably going to have high blood pressure for life now' and it's just made me really depressed. Any one else experienced this? How long did it take to stabilise..
