you really should get that checked hun , It may be nothin but I had cholestasis in my last pregnancy which can start like that and can be serious if not treated. It's a simple blood test to check and better safe than sorry

took the words out of my mouth. go to your mw or GP and they should send of blood tests to check your LFT's and ALT's (my GP had not heard of the condition).


Try aquasis (sp) cream to sooth your hands and feet.

i agree with what the others have said hun, its better to get it checked.
I had a LFT done last week because of itching and its come back slightly abnormal and ive got to see the doctor next week.

I've no idea what all this lft lark means. I'll see how it goes then get it checked with my midwife. Sarah what do you mean slightly abnormal? I dont understand how itching can be a bad thing. Annoying yes . . Most definitely x

sorry i don't explain things propley sometimes.
LFT is a liver function test.
i had to go for this because i have been really itchy and mine came back slightly abnormal, not sure what that means yet

i was told elevated LFT's suggest it could be the pregnancy making your liver work overtime, elevated ALT's is where they worry. The first set of bloods i had done my LFT's where raised and my ALT's where fine. The next set a week later my ALT's where raised as well and that is when they said i had OC.

Every week my ALT's went above normal they would panic i was diagnosed about 30 weeks but i started about 25 weeks.


There is a thread in 3rd tri with some handy links if you want to know more, but don't get yourself overly worried.


Got to have my first set of bloods done this week
