Itching in Pregnancy: PUPPPs vs Cholestasis of Pregnancy Discussed by Dr Nari Heshmati
Itching during pregnancy is a common concern. Many women have PUPPPs which is itching that occurs in the stretch marks on the abdomen and is not harmful. This can be confused with cholestasis of pregnancy which is itching that occurs initially on the palms and soles. Cholestasis has increased risks in a pregnancy including fetal death so earlier delivery is recommended. In this video, Dr Nari Heshmati, a board certified OBGYN in the North Seattle area (Everett, Washington) discusses the difference between the two conditions.

Cholestasis is NO JOKE! I had it twice, 14 week onset, then 11 week onset. Mine was severe and excruciating. And most doctors know little or nothing about it!
Puppps is really bad...I have the rash all over my body and have had it for 2 weeks and I'm 34 weeks now. I don't know what else to do for relief its literally depressing me and making the end of this pregnancy miserable :(
Please try to put English subtitles. It will be useful for more peoples
What is the name of the ointment or lotion for cholestatsis
I had PUPP in my second pregnancy and in the first trimester. It’s all over my body(and not only in the abdomen). I am unable to sleep in the night and it’s draining me out completely.
I STILL have puppps and my baby is 3months

Hi
I have 6 weeks of pregnancy and suddenly it started my left hand thumb and pinky finger itchy.. Please help me.. What it is
I've got intense itching on my ankles and legs. I've noticed that I had nearly every single symptom of cholestasis, but I've had the bile blood test and they all looked really good. My doctor doesn't think I have it but can't explain my itching. It drives me crazy. Baby has looked really healthy on ultrasound. No itching in any stretch marks or on my hands. Are the bile tests ever wrong or inaccurate? Maybe the lab didn't process them right?

Bethany Taylor Going through the same problem now. But not cholestasis as the results show. Maybe its Pupps.
Can these things get spread?

Please I do have trouble itching all body when it time for delivery and it do led me to induction please how to stop this because I don't want to go to that process again it paining
I've been itching since I hit 11 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with cholestasis of pregnancy yesterday. I am just coming up to 18 weeks pregnant and even tho I've been put on medication I'm still very anxious and worried about my little baby boy. 😢
I had pupps in my last pregnancy it was awful and got worse after I had my son. I ended up on iv steroids to get rid of it. This pregnancy iv just been diagnosed with cholestasis. I'm wondering if there is a link between these two.

I'd love to have some of these videos in other languages. Unfortunately, right now this is something I do on the side to get information out to patients so I don't have a way to translate them. Perhaps I can look into have some guest doctors on the channel do videos in other languages.
