obstetric cholestasis?

Question

Has anyone experienced this condition? Since yesterday I have been itching constantly. I itch all over my feet, legs, stomach, etc. I have read that OB mainly consists on your hands and feet. Therefore, not sure if I should contact my OB or what. From what I’ve read, it sounds like a serious condition so that is why I’m concerned . I’m 36 days & 2 days and just got out of the hospital yesterday for preterm labor.

Answer

I’m waiting for my test results now. I started itching all over about 4 days ago. I told my doctor and he immediately had me tested. He gave my some anti itch pills in the meantime.

Answer

I have had the itching for weeks now. Tell your doctor and they will draw levels to check your liver enzymes and bile salts, mine all came back normal so they aren’t doing anything.. if they are elevated they can induce earlier.

Answer

I was just diagnosed with this about 2 weeks ago. My hands and feet were extremely itchy, along with arms, legs, back, neck even scalp. But I read that if your hands/feet itch, that’s your #1 sign. 
It’s all stuff to do with your liver not filtering salt out quick enough, so it goes into your blood stream. I was put on meds ASAP because of how high my levels were. And now I am being induced in a week because my levels aren’t going down (and I grow big babies I guess). If you think you have it, get tested. The side effects to baby are big ones.
