I've noticed some itching on my hands and feet over the last week. It started off as mild and I put it down to the fact that as I have some rather attractive swollen hands and feet at the moment, that the itching was probably due to this. The humidity hasn't helped either!
The itching has got worse over the last 2 days. Last night I was awake at 4am and scratching my feet with a scourer!! as it was the only thing that gave enough relief. I rang the delivery suite this morning and she's told me to get to my GP urgently for a blood test on my liver function. If it comes back elevated, it might be Obstectric Cholestasis which would put me straight onto consultant care with a likelihood of induction at 37 weeks. Eeek.
So I'm off to see my GP in a few hours where they can hopefully rule that out and put the itching down to another of the delightful symptoms in pregnancy.
