Cholestasis!!!

Has anyone ever had Cholestasis? Or being tested for it now…

I have so many questions to ask.

I was in triage on Monday for blurring vision and seeing stars, itchy hands and feet. Had all the usual checks done and bloods ect. Blood pressure was fine and so was baby, still active. Ruled out preeclampsia because of my bloods.

Had midwife today and my bile acid results are on the higher side so she has advised to go back to triage if itchyness keeps happening. I mentioned to her it’s awful at night so will see how it is tonight and will go tomorrow morning.

I’m currently 33 + 5 days & I’ve been googling and it’s giving me horror stories. Need to speak to someone to help my anxiety I think! 🫣🧡

I had it last pregnancy. I was itching from about 25 weeks but it didn’t actually show up in my bile acids until 37/38 weeks. They wanted to induce me at 39 weeks but I had a sweep first and baby came. This time I’m getting tested every 2 weeks and probably will be increased to once a week as we get closer to the due date. Keep getting tested because the levels can rise and fall and make sure you’ve eaten 30 mins to an hour before getting the bloods done. I highly recommend the ICP group on Facebook. The moderators on there are really helpful and will give you the latest advice.

Natural birth

How long from 10 cm dilated to when the baby is actually born based on experience? I know everyone is different

Pregnancy 12 months post C-section

Does anyone have any experience getting pregnant 12 months after a c-section? My deliveries will be 20 months apart, but I am still nervous.

Different scar placements

Looking at photos people have shared of their c-section scars, I can see lots of you have low scars that are just under the public hair line. Mine is way higher than that.

Does anyone know why they can be at different levels and if it means anything for future pregnancies and c-sections?

Hospital bag!?

Help a girl out. I’m starting to gather bits for my hospital bag. I’ve found a few check lists online but no one really says how many of each you need. Does anyone have a checklist with amounts on?
Like the one big thing are we taking the little ready to use milk and if so how many?
Also is there anything that you are glad you took or wish you had?
Anything that was a waste of time and didn’t make it out the bag?

Due date change at anatomy scan??

Has had their due date updated when they went for their anatomy scan? I had a level 2 anatomy scan this morning and they moved my due date up a whole week!! He's looking perfect so I am not worried, just never heard of someone having their due date updated mid pregnancy!

If your partner is useless, was he like this pre baby, or only since the baby arrived?

I always see women posting about how useless their men are, wether that’s around the house with tidyness, doing things to make them feel loved and supported, or how they are with the kids, and I always think… was they like this pre baby? Or did they suddenly become useless after the child arrived?
