I had obstetric choleostasis in my first pregnancy. However, it was quite mild, and so only really picked up around my due date, and it seemed my bile acids did not spike until I was already 9 days overdue. At that point I was induced, and everything turned out fine. Because of my history, this pregnancy they are closely monitoring me. My liver function tests have been going up and down, and bile acids have not yet spiked and I'm 36 weeks. I suspect they may begin to rise though, and am concerned they will suggest induction soon. I am keen to get to term, because I am worried that an induction at 37/38 weeks is different to being induced at 40 and 9, and that there may be more complications needing more intervention. However, I am aware of obstetric choleostasis risks, and so don't want to put baby at risk. As everything was fine last time and I was overdue, I am aware I may be being a little too laid back about this, and so was wondering what other peoples experiences were of making it to due date?
