Cholestasis rant
So I had Cholestasis with my first pregnancy and it took me a long time to get diagnosed and no one really took me seriously. Fast forward I’m pregnant with #2 and I’m pretty positive I have it again because I just know the itching. But it’s so frustrating how so many health professionals dont take you seriously about it. “Oh it’s too early to worry about Cholestasis” yeah okay but I had it earlier than this on my last pregnancy. “Oh well you don’t have jaundice” okay well I never developed jaundice last time I had it either. And of course if your liver function is elevated they say it’s due to pregnancy and it’s normal. I know I have it. I’m 24 weeks pregnant. The stupid part is on my discharge paperwork it says in the Cholestasis verbiage that if you’ve had it in a previous pregnancy you are 50-90% likely to get it again. Yet they still act like there’s no reason tp even consider it. I’m fucking itchy man. I just hate being treated like I don’t know anything about Cholestasis when 1. I have had it and 2. Because I’ve had it I have spent countless hours researching about it. I am so frustrated with the doctors at my facility.
