Cholestasis in early pregnancy???

Cholestasis in early pregnancy???

I had Cholestasis with my oldest son, but developed it when I was about 5 months pregnant. The itching was severe, all over my body from head to toe. It was also what played a factor in me rupturing during delivery. I started developing severe itching on my collar bone area and the back of my neck for about 2 days now, there really isn't a rash but it is slightly red.

Cholestasis usually does not occur until the last 3-4 months of pregnancy. I'm concerned because it can be a life threating disorder.

My best advice would be to call your doctor and let him know immediately, JUST in case. Since you have a history with it it's better to let him check you and see.

Also, when I had it, it was primarily on my hands and feet and would get worse at night... in hindsight, i think i had it for about 2 month but reduced it to stress... i remember having had changed body washes thinking my skin was just getting sensitive.... Luckily I went in in time. I think you should get your levels checked so you know how your liver is working!!
