I started itching badly last night and got Worse today, itching all over my body , hands head etc and went to my gp he is worried it might be ipc got bloodtests done and meanwhile I have to take allergy tablets which make mw feel drowsy... I'm so worried now.. I had never heard of ipc before he mentioned that.. something to do with liver function ?

Do you mean obstetrics cholestasis? I had bad itching a while ago and also had blood tests. It's something to do with bile acids in the liver. My tests came back done and the hope acids were only at 2 which is very low. Anything over 14 is AB indication of OC. I was also given allergy tablets too. Hopefully it'll just be a random pregnancy itch. Try not to worry too much its good you've been.checked out for it. X
