So I just got back from my check up - I’ll be 38 weeks tomorrow. I’m now 1cm dilated after two weeks of absolutely nothing. As we were wrapping up the appointment, I mentioned to my OB that I’ve been having extremely itchy feet and now hands and she looked very concerned. She immediately ordered a blood test to check my bile acids because she is suspecting a condition called cholestastis??!! Does anyone have any experience with this? It usually happens during the 3rd trimester and could be very dangerous for Baby. She didn’t want to freak me out but of course I’m worried.

I have to go do another ultrasound this Monday to see if everything is okay and to get final approval from the doctors there. If they agree, I will have to be induced....

She mentioned that if I was 39 weeks, she wouldn’t even bother getting a second opinion and would deliver the baby asap.

Any thoughts? Advice?
