This week Call the Midwife star Helen George - who plays Trixie - described how her experience of cholestasis during her second pregnancy with daughter Lark kept her ‘scratching all day and all night’. The 37-year-old actress - whose partner Jack Ashton was also in the hit series - was diagnosed with the liver condition after she gave birth to her first daughter Wren, now four. She told her Instagram followers that her second pregnancy - which resulted in the birth of daughter, Lark, last November - was ‘so uncomfortable and painful’.

Helen George has spoken candidly about suffering from cholestasis and how it made her most recent pregnancy “so uncomfortable and painful”.The condition is a liver problem that can cause the skin on the stomach to become increasingly itchy. As the NHS website explains, the painful condition is thought to be caused by raised levels of certain chemicals in the blood, such as hormones, and is common for women during pregnancy, reportedly affecting one in 140 women who are expecting. ICP is also said to slow or stop the normal flow of bile from the gallbladder, which adds to the itching.
