obstetric cholestasis

If your itching is severe and relentless tell your doctor or midwife - in very rare cases - it can be a symptom of a liver disease called obstetric cholestasis.

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, termed obstetric cholestasis in the United Kingdom, (also known as "cholestasis of pregnancy," "jaundice of pregnancy," and "prurigo gravidarum"), is a medical condition in which cholestasis occurs during pregnancy.
