Cholestasis

Amber

I am 34 weeks pregnant and I’ve had really bad itching on my feet and hands so my doctor took blood work to test me for cholestasis but I haven’t received the results yet. He seemed sure that’s whats going on. So of corse I’m freaking out.. my mom has accused me that it’s my fault for my heavy drinking in my past. Which I haven’t had any alcohol what so ever during my full pregnancy (including NO wine, NOTHING)… and I can’t really find much of what causes it except maybe high rises of levels of hormones.? The doctor didn’t seem like it has been anything I’ve done and he said they didn’t really know what causes it..? I know my mom isn’t a doctor but now I sit back and try and think if there’s anything I’ve done.. it’s eating at me..

Does anyone have any personal experience with this.? If it comes back that I have it, will my baby be okay.? My doctor already had brought up inducing me early, is there any chance at all that people have carried full term while having this.? Maybe I’m over stressing this (which I don’t think is possible when you worry about your baby being healthy and safe) just want to see what others have experienced and any information they may have on this subject to make me feel just a little better..
