Any advice I’m 32 weeks today and I have choletasis

Hi I’m 44 last pregnancy my 3 rd and I found out a couple months ago I have a high risk issue my liver is not filtering the bile out so I’m itching a lot !! They said they will give me meds and take him out at 37 weeks and watch me closely and everything will be ok

So I’m 32 weeks today Friday and I was supposed to have a c section in 5 weeks but I had my blood work tests and the levels are high so they said I’d have him at 36 weeks so in 4 weeks and watch me two times a week very closely

So now I’m nervous

1. Will baby be ok coming out this early at 36 weeks and what happens if he has to come before

2. Did anyone have this how did it work out

Thanks

I know I am a little late to this post, sorry. Inhad cholestasis with my first almost 3 yrs ago. I was induced at 37 weeks and over all everything went well and my son was healthy and happy. He had jaundice for a couple weeks, but that's pretty common for babies who come early sometimes. From the time I was admitted to the time I delivered it was 23.5 hours and I pushed for almost 2 of those hours. I'm now pregnant with my 2nd and we are doing bloodwork every so often to keep an eye out for any complications again. I'm currently 24 weeks and so far there have been no signs but I didnt show any symptoms until 32 weeks with my 1st.

So I had cholestasis and didn’t know and my son got taken at 29 +6. But 5 weeks after that I had to get my gallbladder removed. I’d say 36 weeks is just fine. I had a friend who delivered at 34 and her baby had no NICU time at all
