Hello, I am in the 13th week of pregnancy and I have already noticed the symptoms of itching in my hands and feet, which are one of the symptoms of gestational cholestasis (three years ago I gave birth to a 37th week he althy girl despite pregnancy cholestasis, which appeared only around 27 weeks ). I am very concerned that the symptoms started so quickly. I am asking for advice on how I should act to counteract the disturbing effects of this disease on my child. Basia
Symptoms of cholestasis appear around the 30th week of pregnancy, very rarely beyond the 20th week. Itching in the hands and feet in the 13th week of pregnancy is not a symptom of cholestasis. Intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnant women is a genetically determined disease, therefore its manifestation cannot be prevented during pregnancy. It is treated symptomatically, but under medical supervision, as it poses a risk to the developing child.
