cholestasis? ease my mind please.

Question

Anyone had this or have heard of someone else havin it?

I'm inching everywhere, but it's not extreme. I've been playing it off as dry skin, but I'm very much moisturized (not to mention im a skin care expert).

I notice myself scratching in different places throughout the day.. legs, arms, tummy (given), butt, head, hands, etc. 
it's never in or on my palms, and the bottoms of my feet during bed time tend to inch a bit.

I'm showing no signs of a rash or irritated areas.

I've also been less hungry but associated that with my third trimester.

I don't remember having these issues with my first child.

I will be seeing my OB/GYN on Friday, but I'm still looking for peace of mind.

Any info will help yay you know of! Thank you!

Answer

I get that too! I talked to my doctor about it, she said it's basically just because i'm gaining weight, and since we're in the winter months, there's no moisture in the air at all so our skin is very dry! So when our skin is stretching and growing, we get itchy! :( I put lotion on every time after I shower now and i found that the itchiness isn't as horrible! My doctor also mentioned to pay attention to where the itchiness is, if it's on the palms of the hands and the bottoms of the feet then that's a symptom of some kind of liver problem and they'll want that reported right away

Answer

I've just been diagnosed with it, I was itching so bad I bruised all up my legs. I now have 2 different tablets to take throughout the day and cream which has helped a lot. But it also means I'm going to be induced at 36/37 weeks. And I have to have weekly monitoring at the hospital.
