So Dr has sent me in to do labs because I mentioned to him how itchy I’ve been these last couple of…

How bad is your itching?

@angelreaper171, it’s pretty bad, I can’t sleep good because of it. My palms don’t itch which was his first follow up question but my arms itch, my legs and ankles and sometimes my bump. I’m just very restless because of it and he did seem concerned about it. & it’s mainly at night, doesn’t matter if I’m sitting, laying down, if I’m on the couch or in the bed.

How far along are you?

@angelreaper171, 36 weeks

@leslyev92, did it just start or has it been throughout your pregnancy?

@angelreaper171, just started a couple days ago

@leslyev92, yeah I would definitely be concerned about that but hopefully everything is good keep me posted?

@angelreaper171, I didn’t think much of it more than a normal pregnancy symptom but he seemed pretty concerned about it. I will keep you posted I’m waiting rn to get called in to do my labs.

I went through a stage of being so itchy it was unbearable!! Like seriously bad. I never mentioned it. I don’t really itch anymore... do you think I should bring that up at my next appointment?! Now I’m nervous lol

@leslyev92, okay I wish you the best of luck

@bbhausfeld77, I might bring it up

@bbhausfeld77, how did you make it go away? Help me!!! Lol

@bbhausfeld77, it’s better to be on the safe side and just mention it

So along the lines of itching this is my first and I’m itchy all over and especially my stomach what’s normal and what’s not?

@angelreaper171, I would assume that belly itching is fine and ankles due to pressure from the growing bump but dr made it seem like it was not okay that my arms and legs were itching and that it was so bad I was restless. The first couple of days it was at night now I’m still feeling itchy and it’s daytime 😓

@leslyev92, okay I was just making sure because I’m itchy everywhere including my legs and arms and also back but not my ankles

@angelreaper171, how far along are you ?

@leslyev92, I heard we get itchiness because of the blood flow is more increased

@leslyev92, I’m 10 weeks and 6 days

@angelreaper171, yeah that’s what I read too and I really thought my dr was gonna tell me that and send me home. When’s your next Drs appointment?

@leslyev92, I’m on the wait list to be seen by an ob so that’s why it’s a little frustrating because this is my first and I kind of feel like I don’t know what’s normal or what so hopefully soon. I calculated my number of weeks based on my last period

I had the same thing at 36 weeks and it was cholestysis so they induced me 2 days later at 37 weeks; that was a week and a half ago

@mintpanda_00, omg! What is that, how do you get that?!

@angelreaper171, oh gotcha it’s stressful for sure, first time is always challenging, everything is so new but you got this. Make sure to ask ALL questions in your first visit.

@leslyev92, it just randomly started at 35 weeks super itchy and then nauseous those were my only symptoms; I would google it.. it goes away right after baby is born

@mintpanda_00, thank you for the info. I hope I don’t have that! I’ve been a little nauseas but nothing major. The itching is what’s driving me crazy.

@leslyev92, yeah my doctor didn’t even wait for the results to come in and induced me because it’s a serious thing past 37 weeks

I got itchy the week I went into labor. My doctor put my on some kind of antihistamine. He said that if it was that illness that causes you to itch when pregnant i would be extremely ill and I wasn't I was just really itchy.

@leslyev92, thank you

@leslyev92, it just went away but I’m serious it was god awful the bottom of my feet and hands belly everywhere !!! I googled it and said just a pregnancy rash so I haven’t thought anything of it !! I took lots of baths because it was so bad and lotion but I haven’t noticed it recently ! Now I’m freaking out lol

@mintpanda_00, was the itching more so like on your palms and bottom of your feet or just all over ? Reading up on it now and it says it’s mainly there so just wanna make sure.

@missjess, yeah same here I’m just REALLY itchy. I got a bit nauseas earlier today while eating but I didn’t puke or anything, I’ve been okay in that department. Thank god. After 5 months of puking my guts out I don’t need more vomit in my life.

@bbhausfeld77, don’t freak out, from what I’m reading it’s mainly in those areas... palms and bottom of your feet. You should have an appointment soon tho ?

I just had one today lol

I haven’t been itchy lately so I haven’t said anything

@leslyev92,

@bbhausfeld77, & you didn’t say anything! Omg lol but I think if it went away then it couldn’t possibly be that bad. I don’t feel like mine is going away, if anything I feel like it’s intensifying and it doesn’t matter how many showers or how much lotion I put on... it’s persistent.

@leslyev92, see mine was like that for DAYS but now it’s not so maybe I’m okay lol

@bbhausfeld77, like maybe it was nothing but a phase and that’s that. I don’t think this just goes away lol

Let me know how your labs go!

@bbhausfeld77, I would think so too.

@bbhausfeld77, I will, I’m hoping they get the results soon so we can figure out if that’s the case or if I’m just itching for no damn reason! 😣

@leslyev92, lol it is a terrible feeling. How long do the labs take did they say?

@bbhausfeld77, I didn’t really ask tbh, last time for my glucose exam they got the results by my following 1 week appointment so I’m gonna assume that they should have it within a week!

@leslyev92, you could always call up in a couple days too and ask!

@bbhausfeld77, tell me about it. I was about to say we had bed bugs but my mattress is new and my bf would be itching too so it’s def just me. And after today I know I don’t even need to be in the house, it happened sitting at a restaurant while I was eating. I got so annoyed.

@bbhausfeld77, yeah I’m gonna give them a few days, I’m sure if they get it back before then and somethings up they’ll call me and tell me I need to go in cuz he did say we would have to deliver earlier if the results came back positive.

@leslyev92, lol I’m cracking up! I literally thought the same thing and my mattress is brand new too!! Hahahahaha I even checked at my bfs house. Freaking out hahaha but it was only me itching

@bbhausfeld77, Lmao!!! Yeah I realized it couldn’t be it when my bf was peacefully sleeping. When he woke up I was observing him to see if I saw him scratching lol

@leslyev92, Hahahahahahaha I’m seriously cracking up !!
