Do you know what your plan is yet?
This itching is getting ridiculous. I'm almost 35 weeks. I'm on a drug called Actigall. I go to the doctor tomorrow. ( I go every week). Last week, they said they want to take the baby at 36 weeks. I'd like it to be closer to 37 weeks. We are debating delivering at Southampton or Stony Brook.

Re: Anyone else have cholestasis?
I did, i feel your pain.
Currently 21 weeks with dc #2 and praying the itching doesnt start.
They didnt put you on Urso?
I wasnt either with #1
I dont think dr was up enough on condition and switched drs for,this baby.
.
Wasnt induced til 38.5 weeks which I think was way too late.

I'm on Actigall which is the non-generic name for Ursodiol. My Bile Acid level is 25.6 (10 is normal) and the two other liver function numbers were 189 (50 is normal) and 292 (150 is normal).
With DD in '09 I started itching at 37 weeks. Blood results were back in about 6 or 7 days, but my water broke at exactly 38 weeks so I never had treatment.

Re: Anyone else have cholestasis?
Ok thank you I didnt know the generic. I suffered from 33 weeks (but was slightly itchy from around 30) and had to diagnosis myself to Dr. They didnt even do blood work til 35 weeks on me. Towards the end My alt was 121 and ast was 54
My bile acids were only tested once and were 17.5
I would use a bristle brush on my feet it was so bad and the sin started to peel.. Hope you can hang in there
I also have family history of my mom and her sister having it. Odds are against me for this pregnancy
