Re: cholestasis moms

  • 38 weeks is full term and a lot longer than many moms on this board are praying to make it to.

  • so far i am 35. 3 more weeks to go it all depends on my blood work every week, but yes you are right a lot of moms here are praying to make it i am thankful i made it all the way here. hopefully induce labor works out fine
  • I'm sorry, OP.  A good friend of mine had cholestasis with all three of her pregnancies--it's good that you caught it.  All of her babies were delivered between 36-37 weeks, and all were healthy.

    She was induced and had vaginal births.  I think the first two were right at 37 weeks.  Baby #3 had to be delivered a little earlier and had some NICU time.
  • they'll induce you early. you can't go past 38 weeks because then it can effect the baby. my sister was induced and it took 3 days but she had a vaginal birth. I'm getting my second round of testing done on Thursday.

  • thanks everyone! :)
    @rach521 good luck hopefully it comes out negative... the itchness is really bad.
  • the medicine they give you should help a lot with the itchiness, although everyone is different.
