Has anyone ever been diagnosed with OC or ICP?

I am 25 weeks and been experiencing extreme itchiness for the past few days.. no rash and typically way more itchy at night. I Googled my symptom and found OC and ICP.  I know pregnancy can make you itchy but this doesn't seem normal.  I had a little itchiness on my stomach with my 1st but this is all over and doesn't seem to go away until the afternoon.   It's been keeping me up a lot at night.   I hope my doctor will run the necessary tests and not try to blow it off.   Thanks!

I'm 28 weeks and for the past week I've been very itchy all over, but in particular on my feet at night. I see my midwife next week so I'm gonna mention to her then. Hoping it's just normal pregnancy itching, plus I already have very sensitive skin and patches of eczema.

I had itchy hands and feet towards the end of my pregnancy. I didn't think anything of it untill i started seeing little gold dots, i don't know if that's anything to do with it but they ran a blood test and it was slightly past border line. I did another test and it went back to normal. You should get checked out as soon as possible, if you have it they will monitor baby more. I am on 2nd pregnancy and i have to keep an eye on it. So far so good!
