im 25 weeks+6 days pregnant with triplets it was going well until i started this itching on my body at about 19 weeks i mentioned it to my fetal medicine consultant n she done blood test which showed i have cholestasis my biles were 28 even though they were high she wasnt too concerned as i was being monitored every week(scan and blood tests)i was being put on urso and vitamin k
At 25 weeks i got a call to come hospital straightway cause my blood test came abnormal i came in n thy told me my atl level gone really high starting from 100 n nw 500 n its quite bad im being admitted in hospital had a liver scan which showed i have inflamation on liver my bile level gone abit low to 23 but the liver doc saying the alt levels still going up thy told me today to be prepare for the worst cz if my liver keeps going bad i have to deliever and babies r very small n they dnt hv good chances of survival i had two steriod injections aswel to mature babies lungs its all very stressful n i dnt kniw wt to think or do
Any simillar stories anyone plz

Looking forward to hear from sum1

I had suspected obstetric cholestasis with (twin) pregnancy 10 years ago! It was all fine in the end but the itching was terrible! I hope you're ok - I guess with triplets you're hoping to g for another10 weeks or so?

Hi bellabelly
Yh i was suppose to have a c section at 35weeks but the alt levels r wt making docs really worried thy said its a day to day thing nw
Im just too scared really hope the alt level stop going up😔

N yh the itching was terrible but its almost gone nw

I had Obstetric Cholestasis in pregnancy. The itching was frustrating but keeping a pair of very thin cotton socks in the freezer, spraying myself with Body Shop's peppermint footspray (designed for feet but I sprayed it everywhere), using the menthol cream prescribed (apply thinly as it is the incredibly cooling) and wearing loose clothing all helped. There is also an excellent charity that can offer advice and support. www.icpsupport.org

Thanks mrs nai
My itching is under control its the alt level which are 500 at the moment im worried about......my consultant said if thy keep raising i might hv to deliever cz therz risk to babies n me its too early for babies to be born

It must be feeling very scary but try to remember that you're in the best place so that they can keep monitoring and respond very quickly if the levels keep rising. Hopefully, it won't happen that you need to get them born asap but even very prem babies can survive and thrive these days. Wishing you lots of luck and hope you get some good news about your levels soon.

Thank you
i knw alot of babies make it but consultant said thy gt very slim chances cz thy very small.. for sum reasons thy cudnt get the results bk today so will get thm tmrw hopefully thy go down
