Anyone know anything about cholestasis?

A

Hi ladies. I’m 19 weeks with baby #1. Over the past few days, I’ve noticed my legs becoming itchy at night. However, once I apply some lotion, the itch goes away almost instantly. I read about cholestasis, but normally it affects women in the third trimester and I’m only in my second... I also read that if it is cholestasis, lotion will not soothe the itch. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I definitely plan on bringing it up at my next OB appointment, but it’s not for another week and a half. I’m very worried based on what I’ve read, simply because it would be so early for me to have this complication and my baby is nowhere close to being able to be induced. Please help.
