It sounds like cholestasis. I have it :-/ it's a pain in the butt. They gave me a bile blocker which helped out sooooooo much with the itching. They usually just monitor baby with nst's and usually induce early. I'm being induced Tuesday  (the day I turn 37 weeks)

If you've had liver or gallbladder issues..it is more likely that you have cholestasis. I am extremely itchy and have to get the blood work to test for it today.  I'm 35 weeks and if I'm positive then they delivery by 37 bc the risks of stillbirth is high with icp

I have itchiness all over my body. It started on my lower abdomen and now it has spread to ever where, but my face :( they called it PEP previously known as PUPP. I don't know what u have, but I really hope it's now P.E.P because it's the worse thing ever!

It depends on how far along you are. You can have normal pregnancy itching which is what i app have although it drives me crazy and keeps me awake or you can have OC after week 20 i think it is. This is a liver problem and can be quite serious so you need blood tests. App this itching is mainly on your bump and the soles of your feet and the palms of your hands. If mine is just general itching i really feel for anyone with OC. Xx
