Cholestasis In Pregnancy

Okay so I've been suffering from itchy palms for the past few weeks and mentioned it to my doctor as I read online that it could be a sign of cholestasis in pregnancy, I informed my doctor and I just received my results, my bile level is through the roof however the only symptom I'm having at 36 weeks is itchy palms and the baby is healthy, I'm already high risk being 41 and having lupus, and was diagnosed with severe anemia during this pregnancy now I have cholestasis, what next? The crazy thing is I don't know much about this new diagnoses and because the results took 3 days to come back, I now have to wait until Monday for my doctor to even view the results... I'm scared and need to know if anyone else has or had cholestasis while pregnant and what happened or any advice they can give me, I mean I KNOW that He has the final say and everything will work in his favor but now I'm just nervous!

I've just given birth to my baby girl and I was diagnosed with cholestsis just over a week ago.

How are you and the baby doing? Any complications? How many weeks were you?

We are both doing well. During labour they struggled to get her heart rate not sure if it was their machines or what. But she came out fine just struggled to regulate her temperature.

I have diagnosed with cholestasis 2 days back and my level is 13 currenly ..They scheduled my inductiom for tomorrow …They will most likely induce at 37 weeks

My levels were 41

Good luck with your induction tomorrow I hope and pray everything goes safe and speedy!

Thankyou

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w
