anyone had OC??

[twinkle90]

I had Obstetric Cholestasis in my last pregnancy. Im only 10w in my 2nd pregnancy and tonight ive started to itch all over. But not my hands and feet. Surely its too early to have OC? Could it be wrsther and temperature change. Xx

Hi Hun,

I never had oc with previous pregnancy, I'm 7+2 with my rainbow baby, but for a few weeks now I have been so so itchy, in particular my scalp, it's driving me insane! I had the hairdresser earlier on in the week and got her to check for anything untoward, eczema, dandruff or worse ��!!!!!! She found nothing and said that the itch could just be due to hormonal changes! I do hope it eases up and hope yours does too!
I have started using my daughters creams she gets for her eczema it's oatmeal based so very calming and cooling it's called aveeno, it's quite expensive to buy but you can get it on prescription and I also know Costco sell it and it works out much cheaper! Hope you get some relief xx

I had extreme all over itching from about weeks 7-10 then stopped for a couple of weeks then came back about weeks 12-15. Mentioned it to mw at 16 appt (had stopped by then) and she said its likely to be hormonal. Dont have personal experience of OC but think it starts later on and concentrated on palms and soles of feet.
I am 27 weeks now and no more itching thank god!
I didnt find anything that really worked but did use aloe vera moisturising gel which i kept in fridge! Also switched to shower gel for extra sensitive skin (Sanex do a couple).
BUT if u have had OC before i would definitely speak to mw about it incase it makes u high risk x
