  • Hello Karb22

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling unwell. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what may be causing these symptoms. 

    It's good to hear that your GP arranged some tests. Please do make sure that your Midwife is aware that you are experiencing itching and have some abnormal liver function results. It may be that they want to keep a closer eye on you and baby. 

    I hope that you were able to speak to your GP yesterday and that they were able to offer you some support in dealing with this. 

    Best wishes,
