Q: Anyone waiting to see if they get OC/ICP again?

I remember mentioning to my midwife at 16 weeks in my last pregnancy that I felt awful and I was itching like mad, so I believe I had it rather early.

I am currently 6 weeks, having a bit of itching.....nothing out of the ordinary though.

The one symptom that has come back over the last two days is that when I eat a large (particularly fatty) meal, it makes me feel horrible. Regurgitation, burping, pressure in liver, cramps, gas and generally yuk.

Which leads me to believe there's some bile reduction.

I started getting crazy hand and feet itching at around 19 weeks, woke me up each morning that is how awful it was. Luckily, my doctor went ahead and tested my bile function to rule out cholestasis, which I was convinced I had. However, it my bile tests came back normal and the itching mysteriously just went away. I know it's more common later in pregnancy but if they'll test you early, I say go for it, especially if you've had it before.
