Hi I am 29 weeks pregnant and being tested for oc, I had my first lot of blood tests done last week they came back bile acid reading of 1 then 5 days later had same test and that came back as bile acid level 4 I have just had more taken today so waiting on results for them but my question is has any one had these test done before and started off with a low number like mine then has gone on to getting high levels if so how many weeks did it take to get a diagnosis and for the test to come back high
Any help would be great full thanks

What is OC?

Obstetric Cholestasis! Have you looked on FB for the support group? My best friend was a sufferer in all three pregnancies, though sadly I don't understand the levels enough to give any useful advice.

I'm not sure what those levels mean. I always thought bile acids had to be over 14? Maybe they have changed testing. Had it in both pregnancies. If you have it, it will be a combination of meds, extra monitoring and probably induction @ 37/38 weeks but it doesn't spell horror automatically. Both my inductions have been fine resulting in normal delivery. X
