I hadn't heard of this before but wow I'm going to ask my OB about it bc I'm taking benadryl almost daily for my itching. It isn't PUPP the OB said but this is insane itchy itchy itchy!!! Good luck I hope that it comes back with good results :)
Maybe they'll come faster than a week, I really hope so. I'm really hoping this is just some weird stress related itch that has similar symptoms. I know my doctor is already thinking I will go into labor early on my own and I'd like to avoid an induction, but if my test results aren't what I'm hoping for I'll go for it. 37 weeks for induction seems to be pretty common for cholestasis based on what I've read, Thanks!
O wow a week for test results? I had mine back the same day! Try not to overheat yourself, keep clothes light, preferably cotton. I had no way of relieving the itch sorry i couldn't help, the ice packs deff did help! I was induced at 37 weeks! I was diagnosed at 34 weeks and ended up at a day assessment unit every 2nd day for monitoring of baby and repeat blood tests! Good Luck
Thanks, I was just saying I need some ice. I tried oatmeal baths, it helped the first day or so, but now it seems to just make me more itchy.
Oh and use hypoallergenic soaps and lotions.
I had it both of my pregnancies. The first pregnancy it was misdiagnosed as PUPPP. Waiting for the test results suck but it will show how risky it is for you. This pregnancy they were only slightly elevated and I delivered at 39 weeks. Best thing to do to help the itching is ice packs.
