Itchy madness!!

[millie15]

I'm so itchy!! I know we're told to watch out for Obstetric Cholestasis, but I don't think it's that as it's not on the pms of my hands or soles of feet and its not getting worse it just comes and goes randomly.
God, I hope the cats havent got fleas....arrgghhhh!!
Anyone else itchy and scratchy?

Yeh I found it hun thanks!
I do actually have other symptoms so Im just going to ask the MW on Thursday if she will do a blood test! No harm in having the test just in case?!

I had a MASSIVE panic over this a few weeks ago... I ended up ringing NHS 24 I was so worried!

My itchiness is mainly confined to my boobs - especially the left one!
the skin keeps cracking open it's not very nice. I thought it was settling down but today it's as bad again....
Bah!!!
Definitley ask for blood test for OC if you are worried though

I wrote a post about my itchy bump a few days ago, it was so bad i was nearly in tears at one point cos it had been driving my mad for a couple of days.
My OH suggested soaking a muslin cloth in cold water and just laying it over my bump.
I sat for a couple of hours just turning it to over everytime it got warm onto the cold side and it worked!!!
it completely took away the itching and i was able to sleep that night and it hasn't come back either.
Ive also stopped using any creams & oils on my tummy, i think i was trying so may different things to stop the itching that i made my skin super sensitive.

Hiya, my midwife said that itching can be due to poor liver function. It is a simple blood test.. try and ask for it.
