ICP (Cholestasis) Mommas
Hey ladies,
Any Mommas out there have ICP with their first pregnancy and have symptoms much earlier with their second?
I’ve felt weird for like a week and a half, I’m only 4 months PP but I had 3 regular periods since birth so I was hopeful my body was back to normal. So when I started feeling funky about a week ago it was super noticeable. I’ve tested with cheapies everyday and this is the first day I’ve gotten a faint positive (evening urine after chugging drinks all day because I’m so frickin thirsty). It’s still super faint and I’m about 4/5 days late for AF so I’m still skeptical that it’s legit, with my little girl I got my positive digital at 8 DPO so being so late with such a faint line is a little weird. We were definitely not trying and this would be a very big “oops” but, still not certain.
Anyways, I was diagnosed with Cholestasis at 21 weeks with my little girl and starting ursidol immediately allowed me to keep her in there to 38 weeks. The last two days my palms are ON FIRE. So insanely itchy. I know it’s not just in my head and it’s so much worse at night. If I am pregnant I’ll obviously bring it to my doctor’s attention right away but, have any Mommas gotten immediate ICP itchiness the second time around? I’d imagine it’s unheard of this early by how surprised they were when I had it at 21 weeks but I was able to find a few examples on the web. Could only being 4 months PP (3 months if you go based of LMP) cause it to show or progress quicker like my body/liver hasn’t returned to normal yet? I have other weird early pregnancy symptoms and really no AF symptoms so I have no idea what’s going on. But, the familiar palm itching (sometimes my feet) is driving me insane and waking me up in the middle of the night. I’m hoping tomorrow at least gives a little clarity with a FMU test, either a clear line or for AF to show so I can call my doc asap.
