I had obstetric cholestasis with my first child 2 years ago, which led to me being induced at 37 weeks. It was utter hell having this condition and I was covered in scars as I was itching soooo much that I was scratching myself until I bled when I was asleep. The induction was awful too as she really wasn't ready to come!
I'm now 25 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I was told by doctors and midwife that there is nothing I can do to prevent getting it again (and that's it highly likely I will) but I spoke to someone the other day and she prevented getting it again by going to an acupuncturist (of course this could be a coincidence). Does anyone have experience with this? Is here ANYTHING I can do? I started to feel itchy last night so I'm starting to panic!
