Obstetric cholestasis - what were your levels?

Hiya :) I'm 38wks today and two days ago I was tested for OC after having itchy palms and feet. My bile acids came back as 22 and my ALT was 90. I've been prescribed Urso and I have a liver scan booked in for tomorrow. I'm also waiting for the results of further bloods to check for infection levels.

I've read a lot online about this condition (most of which has scared me to death) but I've also come across a lot of women on MN who've had this and gone on to have healthy babies.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience of this condition and in particular what their bile acid and ALT levels were? The midwives and doctors will only tell me that my levels are high but I don't have a reference point. Are the they really high compared to others? How worried should I be??

Once OC has been confirmed (they want my additional bloods to come back along with my scan results tomorrow) then they've said I will be induced at 40wks. If the bile acid and ALT go up further by the end of the week then they might bring induction forward.

Any positive stories and experiences would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance xx
