You have to tell your doctor you want to be tested for ICP . My friend was just diagnosed with it and shes pregnant they said there glad they caught it before it harmed the baby. It all started with the scratchy palms and feet

The three most common reasons for severe itching in pregnancy (and by severe, think an insanely strong mosquito bite all over your hands and feet, not dry skin) are PUPPS disease, coleostasis (I'm assuming this is what op was talking about: your liver stops functioning properly), and gallbladder issues.
