This answer is also for those answering this question that are also itching with out a rash.





The only rash like symptom you may have is whrere you have scracthed so much that you make your skin bleed.


IT IS NOT AS RARE AS PEOPLE THINK





itching during pregnancy especially in the 3rd trimester There is a risk to your baby.





Still Birth If delivered later than 37 weeks





Please visit and READ Information at

or


Search the web for Cholestasis of Pregnancy





Itching can be more dangerous than you think during pregnancy.


I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE...........


Not all doctors a familiar with Obstetric Cholestasis.


Go straight to your DR and ask about Cholestasis of Pregnancy.





It is to do with your liver and pregnancy hormones.





I have had this with 3 of my 4 pregnancies.


All it is, is a simple itch that will drive you crazy that is the only symptom.





Ask to have your BILE SALTS tested this is the only test that will diagnose OC,


Argue with your Dr if you have to, it is worth it.





Liver fuction tests and blood counts DO NOT diagnose OC the only can help the diagnoses in conjunction with Bile salt tests .


An itch doesn't seem much but it can be FATAL to your baby if it goes undiagnosed.


The itching can be any where I had it on my legs and arms at first.


I don't want to scare you but please realise this is very important

Reply:You need to see your doctor or midwife as itching during pregnancy can mean other things. Itching is common in normal pregnancy and is thought to be due to the liver's response to the hormones in pregnancy and a raised bilirubin level (bilirubin is a substance in bile). It may also be caused by the skin stretching over the abdomen (where the itching usually starts from). However there is a rare, but serious, condition called obstetric cholestasis which may occur in pregnancy, which also leads to itching. This itching originates in other parts of the body, such as the hands, arms, legs and the soles of the feet, and is often worse at night. Because obstetric cholestasis can have potentially serious consequences for the unborn baby, it is important to exclude this as the cause of any itching. Obstetric cholestasis is detected by two blood tests. One is a liver function test and the other is a serum bile acid test. The second of these is the most sensitive. If the results are negative but the itching persists, the tests are usually repeated a week or two later. The treatment for the condition involves giving drugs that will reduce the build-up of bile salts and help to relieve the itching. The most common drugs used are ursodeoxycholic acid, which aids bile flow and therefore decreases the amount of bile salts in the blood, and Dexamethasone, which is a steroid that is sometimes used to mature a baby's lungs if a premature birth is anticipated, and which has also been found to help relieve the itching by suppressing the hormones which contribute to cholestasis. Vitamin K may be given to prevent excessive blood loss at the time of birth. If it is just normal itching then maybe calomile lotion or a gentle moisturiser like E45 cream.
