Re: ugh itchy skin

You can search on my screenname and "Cholestasis" - I had this, it usually doesn't show until the third trimester, but you may want to get tested for it (if you keep itching, keep getting tested for it - you can test negative, then one day positive). It's a serious condition, and VERY uncomfortable. I itched for 8 weeks straight until they diagnosed me. Good luck!

Re: ugh itchy skin

I have massive itchy skin problems on my hands and feet. It is the worst in the evening. It has been like this for 2 weeks. I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. I hope she can figure out what is going on because it is miserable.

Re: ugh itchy skin

I just had to see the dr because I had it on my belly and arms, but I also had a rash. They gave me a topical ointment and I feel much better.

Re: ugh itchy skin

thanks ladies for all your feedback, my dr did order bloodwork just to be safe and ck for cholestasis.he would have taken today but you need to fast for it. i am seeing my highrisk dr fri. so i will do bloodwork then. i am only 16 wks so i pray to god thats not the prob. always something to wory about when we are pregnant, everything scares me. well for those of you that are itchy too, i hope it passes asap.
