I went to the hospital and had the tests done everything ok, the doctor just said to go back if it gets any worse or if the cream he's prescribed me didnt help... But thankfully it did xx

I know I am tri 2 but been getting the itchiness and eating night sweats could it be OC?

 

[HeppiBean]

I was in tri 2 when they tested me for it hun, it's always better to be safe than sorry xx

Called my midwife Thursday morning because of itchiness, was sent straight for a blood test and it came back that I had abnormal liver function. They induced me and baby arrived safely on Friday evening.

Am really scared, have been really itchy for the past 3 nights (hardly at all during the day) and am off to the docs in a little while, hopefully they'll do that blood test there and then. Really panicky that this might be o.ch.!

Had to get blood test today just got to wait for the results now, hoping its not as i really dont want to get induced x x

Hope all is ok m2a

Just to let you know, I was tested for bile salts in my blood last week. Got the results today and all is normal. I strongly suspect my itchiness was down to an allergic reaction to the emulsion paint the other weekend when we decorated the bedroom.

Does it have to be hands and feet??

Does it have to be hands and feet??

From what Ive read it's a particular feature how I'd get any itching checked out. Ask for a blood test which checks for the level of bile salts in your blood.

Thanks.. Been having incredible shoulder itching

 

[EmmBee123]

Mine was all over, but worst on hands, feet and across bump.

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Thanks I'll defo ask mw about it x

 

[Jayceesmumma]

What do they do if u have it??

 

[EmmBee123]

They can give medication to control it, and monitor you and baby. I developed it at 39 weeks and the dr thought it would be better to induce me rather than waiting.

Might have been due to my liver function which should have been between 0 and 50 and was nearly 150, so dangerously high.

Just wanted to say thanks for this post. After reading this I had a blood test done and found out I also have OC. Lucky to find out in time! There is definitely not enough info about OC for pg girls!
