Hi All, I am currently 36 weeks pregnant with DC3 and due to itchy hands and feet have had blood tests to check my bile acid levels. They have come back at the high end of normal - 13, when the normal range is 0 - 14 apparently.
The hospital have told me to have more bloods taken next week in order for them to retest the levels, also to keep an eye on the baby's movements. I presume this is in case of the risk of Obstetric Cholestasis.
Just wondered if anyone had any experience of Obstetric Cholestasis and what the implications are for the baby. There seems to be conflicting information as to whether it means a higher risk of stillbirth or premature delivery, or if I simply have to put up with the itching!
I would be very grateful to hear of anyone else's experiences with this please
