very worried, could i have ICP???

Hi everyone, i am on my 28th week of pregnancy and all of a sudden this week i started to get really itchy not only on my growing belly but everywhere else, like my Arms, my legs, my back (not soles of feet or palms though). Im worried that it might be ICP (the liver diffeciancy) i Read about it and it says that it can cause so many issues, like still birth, premature labour, fetal distress and more. I have to go take a blood test next week, but im so nervous!!! Has anyone else had these symptoms and was fine, just sensitive skin or dry skin??? Or has anyone had ICP???  Please let me know if others have the same symptoms. Thanks Sylvia

I did have ICP with my first pregnancy I didn't develop it on my hands & feet I had it all over my body. Now I'm pregnant again & once again I have ICP now I have it all over my body & hand & feet just last night I was up for an hr sitting down on my bed scratching. Hopefully you don't have it it's an awful experience best of the luck
