Chloestasis?

Question

Any moms diagnosed with icp? I just had my dr order labs for me because I’ve had such itchy hands and feet and just got word that I meet the criteria for it and will discuss more on Thursday at my appointment

Answer

I had it with my first pregnancy. It depends how high your levels are but sometimes they prescribe medicine to help control the bile acids. I was also induced at 36 weeks because my levels were still too high. Normally you will be induced at least 2/3 weeks early. There’s like a 50-70% recurrence rate for subsequent pregnancies so I’m keeping my fingers crossed I won’t develop it this time around (although usually it shows it’s ugly head in the third trimester). Sending well wishes your way because I know how miserable and nerve wracking the diagnosis can be 💕

Answer

I’ve been wondering about this! I’ve been SUPER itchy and my doc just told me it was normal at my appointment 2 days ago... I’ll bring it up at my next one too!

Answer

My SIL has it. She was constantly itching her hands and feet and was able to self diagnose. Nurse didn’t take her seriously until she shoved her foot in the nurses face (supposedly). Anywho, she ended up delivering a month early. Super healthy baby boy.

Answer

I get it with pregnancies and deliver early! It’s horrible
