Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

Just woundering has anyone here ever had something called ICP In Pregnancy?? I had it with my ds first baby and only baby and the ICP was HORRIBLE!!!! Its to do with your liver and amount of bile it is producing... Anyway I was Miserable from 34 weeks until his birth I was so itchy all over soles of me feet and palms of my hands my legs I had no rash but would scratch the skin off my body.. Even my eye balls were itchy!! Its not a good thing to have it CAN cause Stillbirth... Just woundering if anyone else has had it and is there a chance i would get it agin.. I didnt get to the stage where i went jaundice I am glad! But I am worried I could get this again.

She always let me take candies from her purse, she made the best fudge and cookies, and she was always fun at the family holiday parties. She lost her first child to cancer at 2yo&2mths, she lost her husband due to a hereditary condition, and 3 great-grandkids who were born at 20&24wk gest.

Hormones and family lose is not a good mix!

Hello Pinkin how are you? I didn't have ICP but I did have obstetric cholestasis which caused a rash on my hands and feet. I was so itchy I kept scratching until I bled and nothing soothed it! lol looking back at old photos I laugh. I had pre eclampsia aswell so I was so swollen everywhere and itchy. I spent the last week and half in hospital and got induced due to it. My first pregnancy I got to say is my worst so far. Pregnancy doesn't agree with me well I guess. But the good thing was I didn't get it second time round instead I got high blood pressure and a retained placenta.

A friend of mine had that with one of her pregnancies. It can be really scary--you can lose your baby. She was induced 2 weeks early once she was diagnosed. Her baby was fine, thankfully!

Sorry about your aunt PP. :(

Bumblebee I had the high blood pressure aswell.. It was 210/130 so i went on tablets.. I have only been pregnant that one time and it was just HORRIBLE!!!! I still have sort of high blood pressure now and thats 3 and a half years later so I guess it will go sky high again.. I am more so worried about the icp but I may not get it anyway!

HOB I was induced a week early because where i live that had not really heard of it and when they did the blood test they realised what was going on.. I heard only 1 in 1000 preg woman get it?

I had never heard of it until my friend got it. She had never heard of it either. Lucky her Dr. knew about it!

Bumblebee, good news on getting a hospital :) I got a booking letter from my hospital the other day, makes it feel more real.

Rainbow, I am so glad everything went well! :) This pregnancy feels the same as my last two. It's only early though so things could change.

auroara, sorry that you are feeling so yuck. I haven't had any real nausea yet but I'm dreading it.

PP, sorry that you are feeling so lousy as well. Hopefully you feel better soon. And so sorry about your aunty :(

Hobber, hopefully you won't need the CVS. Fx!

pinkin, nope never had ICP but I know about it and how horrible it can be. I'm not sure if you've had it before whether there is an increased chance of getting it again.

5, have you been to the doctor yet? Are you going mad having to stay in bed?

So, everyone is sick on my house. My two girls and DH have been vomiting all night. I really hope I don't catch what they have. It's bad enough having to clean up the mess. Arghh!

Mocha, could you please add to the due date list that I swayed blue? Thankyou :D

Glittergirl in my old due date buddy group recently thought she had this. I don't remember her ever reporting the results of her tests, though and whether she really had it. Here was the thread where we discussed this:
