Experience with cholestasis in pregnancy ?

Question

I’m 35w2d super nervous bc I have been really itchy on my palms and feet for the past 5 days and I’ve been having nausea. I don’t get the blood test for cholestasis until MONDAY which is in 3 more days and then we also have to wait a few days for results but I’m super scared because what if I do have it?? And the longer we wait my baby is at risk for still birth. I’m so scaredddd 😭😭😭😭😭 please say something to make me feel better.

Answer

I had it at 26 weeks with my 3rd and found out I had it again at 26 weeks this pregnancy (#4) my bile acids we're at 100 with my 3rd so I had to be induced at 36 weeks 1 day because when they are that high or more the risk of still birth goes up they did twice a week non stress test and ultrasounds and gave me urisodl as well just keep track of little ones movements and try not to freak yourself out to much honestly when I stopped eating & drinking dairy and slowed way down on greasy food my itching went away and numbers went to normal

Answer

Answer

They will induce you and bring you in for weekly stress tests. That’s what they did for me plus possibly take the blood work again. I got induced at 37 weeks now she’s a happy healthy 3 1/2 year old. They do a lot of monitoring when they know you’ve had it or had it before. They still bring me in for testing even with just itching. Even though my blood tests were normal and this is my third pregnancy and I only had it in my first.
