I'm 38 weeks and I've also been itching like crazy all over for two weeks. I called my doctor today and I have to go in tomorrow for blood work and to be put on a monitor. It could be cholestasis.
Is there anything I can do? I do have a liver diease but it seems to be ok right now. The itching is driving me insane
Itching is normal. With swelling and stretching. However. If your skin turns red.. or hes red and white splotches.. or continues over a week.. call. They will do blood work to test for cholestasis. Thats a were the liver partially stops working in pregnancy due to not making as many white blood cells. You can also watch your pee color.. really dark pee is a sign of that too!
I don't have any stretch marks. And I'm itching everywhere like my shoulders neck feet ankles legs back etc it feels like someone is taking a feather and running it all over. :-(
Means your skin is stretching. If your getting stretch marks then scratching it will make them worse.
