This itchiness is driving me CRAZY!!! it started in my right hand and thought it was my eczema coming back so I've been treating it with ACV and CortiZone 10 for the last week ... but tonight it's in my feet & no matter how much I scratch it or dog my nails into it, it never subsides. Ugh! I decided to research the symptoms and everything pops up as ICP (cholestasis) which can be VERY dangerous to the baby 😨😰

"Obstetric cholestasis is a condition that generally reveals itself in the third trimester. It's not as not as rare as you might think. It occurs when pregnancy hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, cause the liver to essentially shut down. Instead of passing the bile and toxins through your gallbladder and out your digestive system, the bile and toxins are released into the mother's bloodstream.

Left untreated, this condition can be incredibly dangerous to fetal development and can lead to premature or even still-birth. "

I've been putting on Shea Butter and Coconut Oil on but no luck.

I don't have my next appt till Sept 13th, but I think I'll have to call my midwife in the AM and ask about this. I hope they don't ignore it and check my blood & liver functions ASAP.

Now I can't sleep 😔
