ICP has anyone had this liver problem?

Question

Hiya guys just wonderd if anyone has had what they call ICP I mentioned to my midwife that I seriously can't stop itching making myself bleed it's that bad started on my feet but now all over my body..... I'm 36w 5d any stories would help I've read about it and it's a liver disorder thanks alot. X

Answer

Yes I have it, currently 35 +4, diagnosed at 33 weeks but had the itching a couple weeeks before that. Fortunately, where I am all the Midwife’s are aware of what it is and I am having bi-weekly monitoring and bloods. I’m hoping they induce me when I get to 37 weeks coz I can’t take the mental strain anymore......
How are you doing?

Answer

Yep and they are inducing me just past my 37 week mark (which is just past a week from now!) I’m actually awake right now because I can’t get the itch to calm down. I only found out and started the meds (ursodiol) a week ago. Started a higher dose yesterday.
