  I have a friend that has had it for both of her pregnancies. She said that the itching is mostly on her hands and feet. I've been asking about it a lot lately becuase my stomach itches so bad! Do you have a rash with the itching? If so then I don't think that it could be Cholestasis. I believe that with Cholestasis the itching is not accompanied by a rash. I would talk to your dr about it though. I'm going to ask my dr this week. She is aware of my itching and said to take Benadryl. It helps me a lot.

  I have itchy feet and legs. I didn't know there was a term for it. ?I just try to moisturize them with a thick greasy cream and that helps. ?I also got them after having my first baby..it was the worst!

  I would still mention it to your dr. Cholestasis is rare, but a very danerous thing.

  I have rashes on my arms. I went to the DR. and they diagnosed me with Eczema. I got a topical ointment for it and it has worked wonders. I tried the Aveeno Eczema line first but it was not cutting it, I needed something stronger.

  tinkerbell - The same thing happened to me! What did they give you? I have an ointment too, but it is a Class C medication so I don't like to use it. I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head though.
