Intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy or ICP is a condition that affects about 1% of pregnant people. It is a complication caused by the liver and acid bile build up in the body and can cause increased risk of other pregnancy conditions such as gestational diabetes. It commonly causes extreme itching which can be distressing and affect every aspect of life during pregnancy. I chat to Katie, a mother and midwife, about ICP.

You can find support for ICP at charity https://www.icpsupport.org/
