Hi all
I was sent to hospital for monitoring at 36+2 after raised blood pressure at routine 36wk check. Hospital monitored me and took bloods - some of the readings were 'abnormal' so was asked to return for repeat tests and monitoring two days later.
I returned and this time, was told that I had raised LFTs consistent with obstetric cholestasis, and I needed to return again two days later for another set of repeat bloods. If OC is confirmed they are talking about inducing me.
The strange this is, after a lot of googling, the main symptom of OC is itching and scratching which I don't really have (or any that I do have is very mild, and I just put down to a normal pregnancy symptom). The midwife at hospital was also really surprised I am not itching and said that usually women come to them with the issue, not the other way round!
Has anyone ever been diagnosed with OC without the itching? It's really confusing.
