itchy skin
During my 38th week of pregnancy I started getting a serious itch on my arms. I decided to head to the doctors in search of some answers. My main concern was for my baby given that I'd read about the secretion of bile into the blood due to a poorly performing liver and the effect it can have on your unborn baby. The doctor ordered a blood test for liver function and bile duct secretions and all came back negative.
I was hoping it was just a 'pregnancy thing' and that it would disappear after Amberley was born.
No such luck. It has flared up again and is quite raised and feels quite hot. Has anyone else suffered from this? It seems to be at its worst when exposed to the sun or it's a hot day.
I'm heading to the doctors again tomorrow. Hopefully relief is in sight. But if anyone has had this condition (and knows what it is) , please let me know.
cheers Rie
