October 10th is World Mental Health Day. 1 in 5 women around the world will suffer from a maternal mental health complication. Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder, postpartum bipolar, and postpartum psychosis. Anyone can be at risk for these disorders whether you have had previous mental health issues in the past. Experiencing a miscarriage, stillbirth, babies in the NICU, and high risk pregnancy conditions increases the risk of developing PMAD.

This World Mental Health Day individuals are called to speak out about their lived experiences. If you have or have had ICP and have experienced PMAD, please consider sharing your story here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduUNIwSTtofyOR6Bz-zya1qx3FqQPeAEw30SdkYHaHf7J_Cg/viewform

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month.

Today, we are honored to share a powerful story of loss, resilience, and hope.

Twenty-nine years ago, her mother was pregnant with twins. She didn’t know she had ICP, and sadly, her twin sister passed away in the womb. Years later, her family learned that ICP was connected to the loss.

Twenty-nine years later, at 25 years old, she became pregnant with her first baby — never knowing that she, too, could experience ICP.

She began experiencing unbearable itching, especially on her hands and feet. After testing her bile acids, she was diagnosed with Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP).

Knowing her family history made the diagnosis even more terrifying. She spent her pregnancy facing constant monitoring, sleepless nights, fear, and eventually an early induction due to the risks associated with ICP.

But after everything she endured, she finally held her baby in her arms.

She says:

“It was worth every itch. Every sleepless night, every tear, every fear, and every painful moment was worth it when I finally held my baby in my arms.”

She is sharing her story so that another mom experiencing these symptoms knows she is not alone.

If you are pregnant and experiencing intense itching, especially on your hands or feet, please talk to your healthcare provider and ask about ICP and bile acid testing.

Thank you for sharing your story and helping us raise awareness about ICP and the families whose lives have been forever impacted by it.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

At ICP Care, we remember and honor every precious baby whose life was lost, and we hold their families close in our hearts. There are no words that can erase the pain of loss, but you are not alone. Our ICP Care community stands with you in remembrance, love, and support.

Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) can carry a devastating risk when not properly recognized and managed: stillbirth.

One of the most common symptoms of ICP is moderate to severe itching during pregnancy, often without a rash. Itching in pregnancy should never be ignored. Talk to your healthcare provider about your symptoms and ask about ICP.

Know the signs.
Speak up about the itch.
Help spread awareness.

This month, help us honor the babies we have lost by sharing lifesaving information with someone who may need it.

Together, we can raise awareness, support families, and work toward a future where fewer families experience the heartbreak of pregnancy loss. Fight the itch. Save a life.
