Any cholestasis mums?

[custardbear45]

I had cholestasis in my last pregnancy and am now 22 weeks with my current pregnancy. When I had my son I wasn't diagnosed until 36 weeks and was induced the following week so I didn't have much time to worry about it. But this time I am much more aware of the symptoms and complications of this condition. I've had one blood test at 17 weeks which I never heard back from so I presume it was all ok. But the slightest itch worries me and I'm really scared especially because of the links to stillbirth. (Although it seems to suggest online that newer research doesn't support this link....the evidence is all so confusing and mixed).

I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance from other mums who have been through this and gone on to have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies? I am being monitored by a consultant but not due to see them again for several weeks

I had it in both my pregnancies.
It was extreme both times. Starting very early on and meaning that I had blood tests 4 times a week through out the pregnancy.
Apart from the itching being beyond horrific (and I don't say that lightly- I once sobbed at a consultant that I didn't think I could see it through)
Both of my babies were born healthy and thriving.
First one came naturally at 37 weeks and the 2nd one was induced at 37 weeks.

I had it for my first pregnancy but didn't get it at all for my second x

@thetigerthatcamefortea thank you for replying. The itching wasn't too bad with my first and it didn't even become noticeable enough to mention until 36 weeks. But this time I'm much more aware of it and worried more for the baby than me. Reassuring to know that both of your babies were fine even in such extreme cases.

Sorry posted too soon. Was itching fairly early on first pregnancy but levels weren't too bad but went up drastically at 36 weeks so I was induced at 36 weeks . Ended with c section . Second didn't have it at all and ended with c section at 41 weeks. I don't think it's a given if you have it one pregnancy you will get it in the next.

I was diagnosed with cholestasis at 25 weeks, now 32 weeks pregnant. I'm having weekly blood tests and seeing the consultant every few weeks, though he doesn't seem too concerned at the moment as my levels are back in normal range.
I was advised by the midwifes not to go 'researching' the condition as there is so much online that contradicts itself!

Had it last pregnancy from 32 weeks and have been itching already this time and only 13 weeks. Bloods are ok at the moment though so that's a relief.
