Cholestasis?

I'm 34 weeks pregnant & started experiencing severe itching about 2 weeks ago, this didn't happen with my first pregnancy.

I told my doc about it, they tested me for Cholestasis. I'll have the results Wednesday & if positive she said she'll be inducing me early.

Of course, I've been reading online about it now & starting to scare myself because stillbirth is one of the risks for baby.

Did anyone experience Cholestasis during their pregnancy? Any encouragement?

Sincerely,
Freaked out mommy & preggo =\

    I had cholistasis with my first pregnancy. I wasn't diagnosed until 36+6 and I was induced the next day. It is said to be safest for baby to be delivered at 37 weeks, as most of the risks are after 37 weeks.
    I have not been diagnosed yet this pregnancy, but I feel like I am just waiting for it.
