It is sometimes easy to get worried ...but great you are asking questions. Now to get the right answers.

I had the same symptoms and I had obstetric cholestasis (OC) as did a number of other mums I now know. They can diagnose it by doing a blood test and checking your liver function. Very simple.

My friend had it with both pregnancies was watched over a number of weeks before having her 2nd son at 37weeks, the first she had to have at 33-34wks because of it. I didn't know she had it with him.I met her later. I had my twins at 35 wks 4 days because of OC.

It can also be general itchiness from the skin stretching - thats what the registrar told me too initally. I would ask your OB if you are worried - it can get worse ... and if the itching is unbearable or on hands/feet it can be OC -but never rely on internet advice or worry unnecessarily because it can be both normal and a sign of something else.

I only knew about OC because of reading it on BellyBelly too .
