I’m not sure if I believe him.
But seriously. I have had for the past like 4 days debilitating itchiness. It’s mostly at night. It’s mostly on the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet- but we are talking about that fact that I didn’t sleep last night because I was sitting here itching my feet and hands like a total and complete freak.
The rest of me is itchy too.
I know with my last pregnancy my stomach itched a bit because the skin was tight over my belly. That makes sense. As I type this: my eyebrow itches. I’m kinda freaking out.
So, I Googled. And Google’s overwhelming consensus is that I am dying of a liver disease.
Making me more convinced: it says it’s likely to effect women carrying multiples.
Anyways: Did anyone else have this weird symptom? Am I overreacting? Should I be profusely emailing my doctor instead of blogging?

PS internets convince me that I have ovarian cancer. It’s scary sometimes.

My husband had a rash once, and the internet convinced him it was leukemia. It wasn’t.
I hope it’s not liver failure.

i get that too – incredibly itchy, nonstop especially on the bottoms of my feet or on my hands, and also in weird places. i’m not pregnant though, and my liver is fine. i dunno, i think it’s easy to get carried away with online symptom checkers. i do it all the time = i’m constantly diagnosing myself with tumors and terminal illnesses lol.
i think this is something to get checked out though. you’re probably fine, but better to be safe. and maybe your doc can give you something to make the itching go away!
keep us posted!
