S.H.
Just like Angela, I too had this and the only thing that offered any relief was the birth of my twins! I was carrying just over 11 lbs of babies. I wonder if this is associated with big babies or twins??? It was absolutely miserable, and the only advice I can give is to sleep when sleepy, no matter the time of day. NOTHING curbed the itchiness. I would go to bed around 11 PM, be up again by 12 or 1 AM, and not be able to go back to sleep until 9 AM the next morning. They should run the blood test to check her liver function and then closely monitor her once to twice a week from here on out. At least sitting in that big comfy chair in the dr.'s office offered an opportunity for sleep! She and baby should be fine. Just tell her to hang in there!
