Was tested for this today, still waiting on results but I'd like to prepare myself if it comes back positive.

Two weeks ago my face started itching. Then my neck, then my shins and scalp and now my boobs and arms. At first I thought it was just the change in weather and the heat being turned on, but it doesn't get better with lotions.

Then last week the corners of my lips cracked open and are sore and raw (the rest of my lips are not chapped in the least).

And the past several days I've been exhausted. More than I feel is normal. I get out of breathe just from walking to the kitchen from the front room. I almost fell asleep at library today, grabbing a few books and sitting on a cushion reading to my toddler. And I already had one nap!

I was planning on a home birth this time around, but now I'm freaking out. I don't want to have ICP and have to be induced!
 
My SIL was diagnosis yesterday, exact same due date as you, she has to be induced at 37 weeks and has twice weekly bloods and scans until then, she may be induced before, fingers crossed all comes back clear. X
