Cholestasis

Erin

Hello,

I am 36 weeks and 2 days currently. Earlier in my pregnancy I was having some issues with my gallbladder and some stones. I had already met with a DR and we both agreed to wait until baby is born to remove my gallbladder. That was probably around 14 ish weeks. Haven’t had any issues with my gallbladder since then.

Yesterday I noticed that my eyes were hurting/really sore so when I was taking out my contacts I noticed that the bottom of both my eyes are pretty yellow. I have also had a severe headache that I can’t get rid of. At night my legs are super itchy. I am convinced I have cholestasis or at least something is going on with my liver or gallbladder. I sent my OB a message through our portal since it was after their office had closed. He’s really good about messaging me back as soon as they open, plus I am already seeing my mfm specialist tomorrow morning in the building next door.

I guess my question is has anyone else experienced the jaundice eyes? I know most say they experience extreme itching but I don’t feel like mine is to the extreme that others have. If this is cholestasis I am super worried about something happening to baby.

What are your experiences and outcomes?

Thanks in advance.
