I'm 22+2 and have been suffering from a servere my itchy torso, worse of an evening (NOT hands and feet) for the last few weeks so last week my midwives took some bloods to check my liver function. Turns out my ALT levels are slightly high so I was referred to my "local" hospital (1 hour drive away) for repeat screening. Whilst there they took four loads of bloods, have referred me for a liver and gall bladder scan and I'm now to be under a consultant. I have to have weekly bloods taken and from 26 weeks weekly cgts all at my not so local hospital.
I was mega intent on giving birth in my MLU if at all possible. Has anyone else had this and still gone on to give birth at their MLU? Or does anyone know if it turns out it was just a one off then they'll reduce the monitoring? It all seems a bit overkill for literally 3 points over - normal range for the lab is up to 35, my ALT was 38, but of course it's best to be safe. The midwife in the assessment unit seems to think this will be it with weekly obs for the rest of my pregnancy
