Subject : For any who's got/had obstetric cholastasis...

I'm 30+5 weeks, and for the last few nights my hands and feet have been itchy at night - it hasn't been unbearable,. just really annoying, I've read a bit about OC but don't know if what I have counts as severe itching - is it something I would need to get check asap, or could it wait until my next midwife appt in 2 weeks (on the basis that it seems that even if you are diagnosed, nothing actually happens to you except bein induced 3 weeks early)
Any advice from anyone who knows?

Hi - I had this last November and was delivered at 37 weeks. Mine was strange as it kept coming and going, but they didn't want to take any chances. I had liver scans etc as well and bloods done every other day, steroids at 33 weeks to mature lungs etc as they thought I might have to be induced then. You may think that they do nothing, but it depends on the severity. Personally I would get in touch with my day assessment unit as they will want to take bloods asap to check levels. Good luck. xxxx
