ICP Support

ICP Support Our vision is that every ICP baby is born safely Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most common liver condition specific to pregnancy.

It affects around 5,500 women a year in the UK (that's about 0.7% of all pregnancies), while in parts of South America the incidence has settled at around 4-5%: it's a geographically diverse condition! Although ICP is not life-threatening to the mother-to-be, there are concerns for the baby as it is associated with fetal distress, spontaneous premature labour and, in very severe cases, stillbirth.

We know therefore that it can be a very worrying and distressing condition to have so as a charity we provide support and information to people affected by ICP, raise awareness of the condition, and promote and fund research into it. We have active Facebook groups (for during and after an ICP pregnancy) that you can go to for support or to ask questions and we can provide one to one support via email. Our replies to you will be based on research and personal experience. You can find out more about our support here: https://bit.ly/OurSupportForYou

We believe it is important that you have the most up to date scientific information about the condition so what is written on our website about ICP is verified by researchers, scientists and doctors. Jenny Chambers, Founder of ICP Support, is also part of the Maternal and Fetal Medicine Group - a London-based research group investigating ICP. Jenny remains in contact with the charity as our research advisor and can be contacted if you are interested in taking part in research ([email protected]). Please share this page with friends, family and health professionals and help us achieve our vision that every ICP baby will be born safely. NB: Any photos we post on here will always be with the permission of the people involved and, if required, with the permission of the organisation (such as a hospital or company) too.

*** ICP & Me **

Today, we re-share Suzanne’s ICP & Me, which some of you may be familiar with.

Suzanne’s itching was dismissed by health professionals in her first two pregnancies, and a lack of information-sharing about risk to her baby in her third pregnancy meant that, very sadly, her daughter, Megan, was stillborn.
Suzanne was hugely grateful for the support provided by Jenny Chambers (founder of ICP Support) and the charity. Following this support, Suzanne went on to have two more ‘Little Itches’ and felt better prepared to cope when the itching started again.

Suzanne and her family have been passionate supporters of our charity over many years, frequently raising funds for us and raising awareness of ICP. On what would have been Megan’s 30th birthday (15th May) the family asked for donations, and we are very grateful to have received £255 in Megan’s name. We are so touched by this incredibly thoughtful gesture which will be used to help families who have, or have had, ICP. It’s a beautiful way to honour Megan and we thank Suzanne’s friends and family for their continued generosity and support 💜. Suzanne has shared a gorgeous photo of her grown up Little Itches Ross, Daniel, Joshua and Emma-Jane - we love to see them! 😍

Donations are vital to our charity to ensure that we can continue to support families who need us and to help us achieve our vision ‘That every ICP baby is born safely’ If you would like to make a donation, you can do so here: https://bit.ly/DonateOneOffRegular

We encourage anyone who is involved in maternity care to join our Facebook group to ensure they stay up to date with new research and guidance on managing ICP pregnancies (https://bit.ly/HPsICP). NHS health professionals can complete our eLearning module on ICP (https://bit.ly/ElearningNHS26). Our website also has a wealth of information on ICP as well as an extensive list of ICP research papers (https://bit.ly/ICPInformationhomepage), as well as printable ICP posters (https://bit.ly/ICPPosters) and leaflets (https://bit.ly/ICPleaflets)
