ichyness is driving me insane !!

okay then thanks very much i will get it checkd out :)

Hi, I couldn't help myself when I saw your post, I signed up to an account just so I could respond.Please don't ignore these symptoms, when I was pregnant, I had a condition called Obstetric Cholestasis or Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy. The main symptoms are extreme itching (to drawing blood extent), extreme lethargy, light brown poo, very yellow wee. There is no rash with the itching unless from scratching. Please review itchymums dot com and see what you think. They would need to check your liver enzymes and bile acids as part of a blood test to check for this, but please don't let it go.Good luck and I truly hope that you don't have this life threatening (for baby) condition.Kate

thank you :) yea i will check it out wiv my midwife the babys still kicking like mad so i no hes okay lol but u can neva be sure can you :) but its the ichy ankles that drive me mad u canrt get to the ich propplery lol i put some e45 on them last nyt to try n get to sleep and it work so i will have to buy a big bottle of that lol

Hi there, i was horrendously itchy during my pregnancy, to the point where i wasn't sleeping! It is just a pregnancy thing but can also be something quite serious called obstetric cholestasis which can lead to serious health probs for you and baby so i would go see midwife just to rule it out. I know its prob quite dramatic but thats what i did just to make sure as can also lead to stillbirths. Sorry - i know thats prob worried you but didn't want to say its normal and turns out to be something worse! At least this way you know its just one of the not so fuun bits of pregnancy X

probably totally normal to do with change in hormones etc, tell midwife tho coz a friend of mine got it really bad all over and it was something to do with her liver i think!? (was 4year ago but pretty sure it was something like that!) don't worry tho just mention it at next appointment, or if it gets worse see a gp! lots of things in pregnancy are just a bit annoying mine was spd- got really bad with last one so i'll be having no more thanks!!

hey everyone hope your all okay , well i am half way frew my second pregnacy and i have started to get ichy ankles and ichy wrist but it seems to be my left side mainly but its really driving me mad , any one have any ideas what it could be or is it just one ov them fings in pregnacy that you just dont enjoy lol x
