I saw the midwife yesterday and mentioned I had crazy itching all over my body. She took some blood and a Dr called today to and said it looked like I had obstetric cholestasis and I might need to be induced. I have to go for a fasting blood test first thing tomorrow and the Dr is asking the hospital to rush the results back so I should know what's happening by tomorrow afternoon. Up to this point everything was going smoothly and I wasn't worried about the birth at all (this is my second dc). I really didn't want to be induced as I've heard it's more painful, more likely to have complications etc (obviously I'll agree to be induced if it's in the best interest of my baby). Im sat at home freaking out can someone reassure me that even if I'm induced it will be fine!!
