cholestasis of pregnancy?

Question

Anyone deal with cholestasis of pregnancy? I'm freaking out a little. My midwife just tested me for it today and I have to wait a week.

Answer

I had it, but wasn't diagnosed until I was past 38 weeks. So to deal with mine they induced me as soon as possible and it went away after baby was born. They usually recommend induction if you are at or past about 37 weeks. 
Otherwise, if you have it and are earlier on in your pregnancy they will likely monitor you and baby more frequently and possibly offer you a medication to help break up the bile acids in your blood, which will help with the itching.
Try not to stress too much. The risk to the baby is very low until you are in your last few weeks of pregnancy (and even then it's still pretty low), they just like to be cautious; although the condition can be quite uncomfortable for the mom.

Answer

My friend had this and they found out the day they tested her and she had to go in that night and be induced.
