Cholestasis! Anyone else have an itch baby!?
I had cholestasis with my last pregnancy and have a very good chance of having it with this pregnancy as well. For those who don’t know cholestasis is a condition that’s prevents your liver from filtering bile acid which causes a abnormally high amount of bile acid to be present in your blood stream. This causes you to itch on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet. The itch sensation increases at night. It is so bad that I had scabs all over my feet and hands from scratching so hard. It’s absolutely the worst sensation to itch in these places! Because of the condition dr.s will only allow you to go to 37weeks and you will be induced. This condition increases your risk of stillborn especially if the baby is carried to full term. Anyone ever heard of this or also experienced it? For me last time the itching started at 33 weeks.
