has anyone ever been diagnosed with cholestasis??

What is it?

What is it?

The term "cholestasis" refers to any condition that impairs the flow of bile — a digestive fluid — from the liver. Pregnancy is one of many possible causes of cholestasis. Other names for cholestasis of pregnancy include obstetric cholestasis and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.

Okay. :( Thank you.

the most common symptom is itchy hands and feet, like more then just an itch lol.@ourbabygeier,

yes I have it

are you delivering early? @savannahdrlng

I'm not, I was really against induction since I found out. they monitor the baby very closely and I do stress test once a week. shes looking good right now but they won't let me go past 39

Okay that's good to know. im getting the blood work done to clarify for sure if I have it and she said no option but to deliver at 37 if I do have. but I'm hoping maybe I can keep her In a little longer if all is going okay. @savannahdrlng

all doctors are different about it. what are your symtoms?

so far just severe itching of the hands and feet. but she wanted to test just to make sure. @savannahdrlng

oh okay good luck! try Benadryl and baths at night to get to sleep with the itching
