    I was diagnosed with Cholestasis at sound 30 weeks. This is my third child and my first time to experience this. I am 35 weeks and I can’t handle the itching anymore. This is extremely uncomfortable. I can’t stop itching, especially at night. Medication 💊 is not helping

    I was induced to labor on 36 weeks because of it. The disease itself is not that dangerous but the risk of stillbirth is a real scary. First I thought my iticing is normal in pregnancy but after some routine tests the level of some enzymes were so high that I was hospitalized immediately. And I had other problems also. Alhamdulillah my baby was healthy with only jaundice although I was terrified about his health
