I Have Recently Been Diagnosed With Icp And I Never

I have recently been diagnosed with icp and I never really knew much about it until this week when I started to do some research on it. Previous to this I have already been scheduled for a c section at 38 + 4 due to a bad birth and haemorrhaging with my last daughter and her being so huge (10lb 8oz). But going by what I am reading on here and other mum pages 37 weeks seems to be the recommended time to be delivered due to the risk of stillborn and things going wrong. I have done nothing but worry myself sick over not being taken in at 37 weeks to be delivered as my consultant seems to think it's ok to wait until nearly 39 weeks. I am just not happy with having to wait until then and constantly worry if my baby is ok, not only that but I have not slept in days with the itch my hands and feet are driving me crazy and also the burning at the top of my bump is unbearable. Anyway the reason I'm writing on here is to see if anyone else was made wait till they were nearly 39 weeks with icp and if so was everything ok? Should I be pushing to be taken in at 37 weeks!!

Thanks
