How I Knew I Had Cholestasis During Pregnancy

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hey Guys, I developed Cholestasis during my last few weeks of pregnancy and had no idea what it was. I wanted to open up and share my experience with you in case you or someone you know is going through the same thing.

    I started showing these symptoms at 30 weeks. Got my liver and bile acids tested. Everything came back normal. As the next month went on the itching got worse. My face, neck, chest, hands, feet, shoulders, legs. It was UNBEARABLE !! My skin was crawling. I had two appointments in that month and my doctors told me to take Benadryl and use a steroid anti itch cream. I finally had lost it at the 35 week appointment in tears explaining that My skin was crawling. They finally ordered more blood work come to find out that my bile acids are very high and I do have the cholestasis. I am furious. And so so so worried about losing the baby. Right now he is very active and I’m hoping they deliver him at 37 weeks which will be December 1st. Thank you for speaking about this issue because lots of moms were just trying to tell me my skin was stretching and that I was being dramatic. And turns out there was something seriously wrong. Doctors need to take these symptoms more serious.

    I completely thought the itching was a reaction from an antibiotic and I would be fine. If I hadn't thought to look it up I would've never known. I'm 36 weeks on Monday and stressed beyond belief. I have been dealing with health issues for the last two months and it has been one thing after another, and seemingly every time something new pops up it's worse than the last. I'm hoping that everything goes smoothly and praying that my baby will be delivered healthy.

I wont know the results until next week, but we can some acid levels today & we're doing a NST. Hopefully he can stay in until the end of the month.

    Experiencing itching since about one and a half weeks ago so mentioned it to my midwife who took a liver function test. She refused to do a bile acid test telling me they will only do this based on the liver function test results. I am going to my doctor to see if I can get the bile acid test. So frustrating when medics don't listen to you. I think because this is a rare condition that many medics don't know much about it. Did you have to fast for your bile acid test? Thanks so much for this video and highlighting this condition 🙏

    I have it as well. I also don't have multiples or IVF. Mine was found last week and I am only 22weeks at this point (My BA was at 20). I was given medicine as well and I am being heavily monitored with weekly ultrasounds and blood work. My numbers were not too high but my OB said I will be induced at 37weeks regardless of how well the medicine works. (I am high risk because of my age.) I am super worried as well about my baby but sadly I am still very early and I can't do proper kick counts until 28weeks. The amount of self monitoring at home (BP, OxygenLevel, Temp, ETC) is becoming overwhelming at this point but I want to catch ANYTHING that happens because I know it is very serious.

Also, was there any swelling along with the itching? I've had test run and all came back good but I'm 20 weeks and have been dealing with this unbearable itching for about 2 months now... The doctor says it's not cholestasis and I'm hoping and praying they're right.

    I had it with my first 3 kids in my 20's. A year and a half ago we lost our youngest (3rd) child to liver cancer at 12 years old. I can't help but second guess if my history of cholestasis played some part. We're in our early 40's we decided to try for baby #4. I'm still happily to my husband and father of my other 3 children but at some point during these years he's become infertile. We opted for IVF due to my age and discomfort with IUI with donor sperm. I had ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome but I did get pregnant with twins. We sort of hoped that a different biological donor would help but I'm 29 weeks and have been diagnosed with with cholestasis all over again. But a whole lot earlier than with my other 3 kids. For me, my hands start tingling at first, like pins and needles. Then my feet too. Then they get itchy. Then suddenly the itchiness is everywhere. I don't feel confident inducing early because my 2nd child wasn't ready when I had him at 36 weeks and he spent a lot of time in the NICU. But I'm not confident waiting. When I had my other 3 in the 2000's, there really wasn't a lot of information. I felt very alone. It's nice to see other women who have been through it or are going through it online.

I told her i pay this facility top dollar out of pocket, I can’t rely on your judgment, I need real testing. The symptoms im having are not stress hives. I feel it in my skin in my blood. The itching for me had no rash. And I have natural long nails so I was scratching hard. And finally my doctor said she will treat me for ICP until I get my test results back. Tomorrow is my babies stress test.

    This is the 2nd time for me 😞 It’s awful!!! My 1st i felt itchy @ 36weeks got induced a week later as my blood test showed too much bile! Onto my 2nd pregnancy now & started itching @32weeks…straight to hospital-blood tests/fetal monitoring every week + medication ‘ursodeoxycholic’ which I’ve been on for 4dsys now hoping it works soon because my itching at night has got WORSE day by day! Using Calamine lotion lathering it on before bed but still soooo itchy! Lack of sleep up so much Making me so tired 😞 Might be induced again depending how well this medication works.. As soon as baby comes the cholestisis disappears ! AND apparently runs through your genes- my mum had it with my sister…

I'm gonna ask tomorrow for tests cuz for awhile been feeling I might have this. :( my itchiness also began in breasts, especially under breast and have told dr but he didn't know, then got worse to scalp ,I used tea tree oil thinking it was just dandruff nothing worked n I didn't have any dandruff even .my scalp bled a little too :'( burning then around 29 weeks on my belly button and stomach, then spread to arms , underarms, fingers and hands. Now my ears and top of feet itch so bad I got a dark mark on it from itching badly! 😖 Omg I wish the drs woukd just rest me,!!! Is it really this unknown? Dr brushed it off saying it was just hormones!!! Then it became more intense so dr just prescribed benadryl to me weeks ago which does nothing! Ughhh!!! All steroid creams and hydrocortisone and anti itch lotions are pointless! I'm burning itching like mad but no visible rash! I'm gonna demand the tests tomorrow BUT WHAT CAN I DO IF NO DR WILL TEST ME??? Suffer!?? :'(

Gave me something in an IV for nausea proscribed nausea medicine. That night I left and was in bed that night I got itching on my feet next day my hands third day chest up to my neck and face...

    I had this almost 13 years ago with my 1st daughter. I was only 17 years old. I remember especially in my last trimester the intense itching & my family attributing it to my skin “just stretching.” In my last couple weeks with the itching & the growth the skin on my stomach, stomach, inner thighs, calves, & breasts tore. It happened so fast. I was all of a sudden covered in enormous bright red & purple stretch marks that were very deep & wide and would cover the span of my entire belly. My stomach never recovered but my baby was born alive & she was my blessing. I just got my first confirmation today that I am officially ~7 weeks pregnant with my second baby & it’s such a surprise! In 2019 I was hospitalized with biliary cirrhosis, not related to alcohol. I’ve worked very hard the last couple years since to heal my liver & gallbladder. I don’t know what to expect during this pregnancy but I get emotional listening to your story. Thank you for sharing & being vulnerable with us.
