Obstetric cholistasis

Hi, just wondering if anyone is in the same boat?! Have two lo's and hoping for a third in the near future! During the end of the last pregnancy I developed obstetric cholistasis, not horrendously but did have text book symptoms and felt generally unwell. Had a bit of a scare at term plus 8 when bp soared through roof and crazy amount of protein in urine. Consequently induced but not urgently. I'm really hoping for a third and last child in the next year as I want to have my babies all close together but having heard horror stories from various people since the birth of my second child re: daggers of oc, I'm really petrified that it would return with a vengeance if I were to conceive again and bring with it dreadful consequences. I know that it it very common for it to reoccur in subsequent pregnancies and not sure whether or not I want to take the risk having had two babies. Also, does anybody know if it would be possible to talk to an nhs obstetrician before I get pregnant voicing my concerns. Thanks anyone that could help.
