Def ask hun its well worth checking ASAP. I had numerous blood tests for it in the end but was diagnosed with PAPPP, which is basically itchy rashes and stretchmarks. Worth checking out. Itchiness is awful and especially at night.

I thought i had this i was itching like mad at 20 weeks had to go the hospital and get my blood tested but i was fine ive read alot about this becoz i was worried i had it its best to get a blood test to b on the safe side x

hi
is this thread still running?
I was suffering bad from itchiness and still itch all my spots of that i have on my neck, back and face. I was blood tested at 20 weeks but was all clear. Can the symptoms develop further into preg?
Should I ask for another test?

I mentioned to my MW about my feet on tues. They itch so much at night that I get so little sleep and just wanna scream. I'm also gettin very hot skin all over. She told me its only itchy palms they worry about but since reading some of the websites on here I'm still a bit concerned. Is it worth tryin to see my gp? X

I would go to gp and ask for bloods. It may be PAPPP. I had this in third trimester. Horrendous itches and rashes. Google it and do a search on PF. Harmless but torture! Hope it goes away soon. Xxxx

Iv just been tested for this today... Fingers crossed it comes back ok scary stuff!xx

Good luck xxx

I had oc on my first pregnancy, induced at 37 weeks, and luckily my little lady was a healthy 6.9lbs. I am so scared that I will have it again, although I will just have to sit and wait. I am planning for a homebirth this time around and the midwives believe that with medication and early pick up on oc, I should be okay to go in to labour naturally! fingers crossed

Sounds promising!! Hopefully you'll get the homebirth you want!

Yeah I really hope so! OC is a scary thing, but if picked up early enough it should be controllable

Good luck hun!!

Ive been diagnosed with it now. I have to have baby at 37 weeks and I actually feel like I could crawl under a stone and sleep for 7 weeks. Except Im not sleeping at all cause of the dam itch.

Is this normal to feel like this? Feeling sorry for myself today!!! xxxx

Sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with it.. I had major itching skin probs which was really tiring and stressful.. Try and sleep as much as u can in the day hun itching always seemed to be worst for me at night...xx

Thank you. Occupational health have signed me off and declared me unfit for work. I can't go on with no sleep. Suppose being at home means I can nap in the day time.

If you haven't suffered it you'd never believe how debilitating it is. Just not a good combination of tiredness and hormones! xxx

It really is a horrible thing to have and noone can understand it which is frustrating
I hope you can get some sleep in the day and rest well for labour good luck hun!
