Help :( has anyone else had this or no what it is n how to fix it I'm all puffy n itchy n stings to the point I want to…

I will do Jo thanks heaps :) going to try get some sleep now I think the pill is kicking in lol

Yay!!!! I've been worried about you :)

Definitely keep an eye on those symptoms and pay special attention to bubby's movements.

Just got home from the hospital liver test came back ok they said they think its pupps and given me some antihistamine to take and if its still the same in about 3 days to go back n run the test on my liver again as it can take few days to come up if it is cholastasis and I only started like this tues night but Zavia is perfect n doing well so I'm happy :) Thankyou girls for everything

Thank god you're on your way!!!!

I have everything crossed for you and bubs!!!

Thanks girls will do I just want the itch to stop n now Zavia is ok

Glad you are on the way to hospital to get checked, hope everything is ok, keep us updated.Good luck and dont worry, your in good hands x

I had this at the start of my pregnancy it actually how I realised I was pregnant and it just went away - not sure what is was but it was so itchy and looked exactly like yours

Just called hospital again and they want me up there now n want to check me over she said has no idea why the other lady told me to wait so I'm on my way to get checked

I just woke up they still haven't called me back I'm still itchy and puffy bubs is very quiet my sister is ready to call the hospital and abuse them as the midwife said they would call me soon that was over 3 hrs ago

If I were you (and knowing what I know about the possible condition) I'd be getting to the hospital ASAP, especially if your are feeling "off colour".

My biggest complaint during my hospitals investigation into my situation was that I was not told the true nature of the condition and possible outcomes.

Given that you've mentioned bubs is behaving differently and you've mentioned pain associated with his movements you really need to get checked, hooked up to a monitor and such.

And what's the worst you'll get told........everything is fine!!!

I can't believe he wouldn't tell u. I would be freaking more the fact he said I won't tell u to not stress u :/ I would just go in and tell them u want to know what's goin on. U are pregnant u should be getting answers and looked after. Good luck hun

I called the hospital just over half hr ago told the midwife what's going on n that i had tests done this morning as my wamted them she just said she will get a doc to call me back soon wasn't much help at all

Honestly......get yourself to a hospital!!!

I felt absolutely terrible just days after being diagnosed to the point where I could not have driven.....the midwife suggested I call an ambulance, it's THAT serious.

My bub also stopped moving hence my emerg c section.

Please at least call your hospital and tell them your symptoms and the doctors suspicions.

It's pretty dark yellow at moment bub is moving lots n hurts more he's been moving more than normal today

Yeh hun I'd go to the hospital. It doesn't sound like your coping... and for your baby's benefit just in case... I'm a lil confused at why the doctor hasn't looked into this further, it's such a serious matter, cholestasis.

Is bubs still moving around ok??

Don't feel like you have to wait for the blood results......if you are feeling unwell as you've explained get straight to your chosen hospital.

Cholestasis can grumble along for a long while but it can also come on very thick and fast.

Personal question but what colour is your wee??

Go and get checked, it's better to be safe.

Just waiting for results :( might call them though as iv been feeling really weird today n out of it dizzy n headaches not sure what's doing on but don't feel myself :(

Did the doctor shed anymore light on it for you or is he just waiting for the blood results?

Had the tests should have results tomorrow morning I'm still like it today n bad headaches blah can't win n Zavia is playing up in my belly big time don't think he's happy either :(

Yep, definately update us, you should have the test results tomorrow.

For the itching - try frozen ice packs on your hands and feet it helps a little.

I had this for a couple of days at 34 weeks pregnant i never found out what it was i started to bleed and had to have an emergency. Section

But my body was causing my daughter alot of greif and it sounds like what others are saying

Thanks girls Iv never heard of it this is my first pregnancy but long as bub is safe is all I'm worried about I managed 4 hrs sleep

Sounds like cholestasis to me.

I was diagnosed at 36 weeks and delivered at 37+1 via emerg c sec.

It's good you're doing bloods in the morning !!

I had it cholestasis it's a liver problem. I never thought anything of it, apart from it being Another pregnency perk.

Go to the doctors or emergency and let them know.

I was 37 weeks when I went to the hospital for food poisoning and they noticed me scratching the palms of my hands which started the week before and that's when they decided to induce me that day.

Get a cold water bottle and hold it that was the only way I could control the itching and sleep it drove me nuts.

You will get regular blood tests to make sure your blood levels go down but it disappears as soon as u give birth.

All the best Hun, keep us updated x

Thanks girls I'm hoping I get some answers in the morning n that I can try sleep tonight will let u no what they say it is

I have the same thing but goes up my legs to, and mine is not itchy my doc told me it was because I am anemic (very low iron).. Hope everything comes back ok for you :)

The doc said today maybe to do with my liver I couldn't have blood tests today as I had eaten so I'm fasting now for them in the morning he said if its what he thinks it is I will be brought on early he wouldn't tell me what he thinks might be said doesn't want to scare me ??? It's just so itchy n stings trying no to scratch it

Try an antihistamine, it looks exactly like what I get when i have a reaction to something I have touched. Polarmine is safe

in pregnancy.

Other wise it may be swelling, feet up and rest, and as always plenty of fluids, lol.

Dont want to frighten u but it might be puppps or cholestasis... That's good that u r doing bloods so they can rule out if its cholestasis or not...

Do you have pre-eclampsia?

Either that or you've had a reaction to something. Have you tried calamine lotion, aloe Vera or savlon?
