My Nonprofit Reviews

When I first experienced Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy I didn't even know that this condition existed. It was a very stressful situation. Suddenly, at 36 weeks pregnant, I started feeling itchy, and soon it was all over my body. Like many other pregnant women, I was told by health professionals that it was normal to be itchy in the last stages of pregnancy, and I waited and tried to ease the symptoms by taking cold baths and using moisturizers. But my symptoms were not normal, and after 4 days of intense, unbearable itchiness I was admitted to the hospital, and through an emergency induction, I delivered a healthy baby. I was fortunate. Not only because I delivered a healthy baby despite experiencing ICP, but because during those 4 days in which I did not know if my itchiness was normal I found ICP care in a quick search online. ICP care not only provided me with the accurate and science-based information I needed but in their growing community, I found the support that help me go through a successful second pregnancy. I will always be grateful to the people behind this non-profit. ICP care works hard to spread valuable information, help other pregnant women to advocate for themselves, and to grow a community that offers invaluable support before and after experiencing ICP.
