Hi everyone. Currently 35 weeks pregnant and so far have thankfully had a pretty straightforward pregnancy. I went to the midwife last week as had slightly itchy feet and read that this could be a sign of Cholestasis. They did my bloods and all were fine apart from bilirubin was slightly elevated at 21. She said anything under 20 is considered normal however anything about 15 when you're pregnant they like to keep an eye on.

She has done repeat bloods today and said they will phone me later to discuss.

She did say that there is a note that I got my bloods done last year when I wasn't pregnant but had been ill for a few weeks with a virus and my bilirubin reading was 42! It wasn't really flagged as an issue at the time.

Does anything have any experience of bilirubin levels and what might mean for next stages of my pregnancy?
