Pregnancy Info HOME

I was itching all over, especially in my third trimester. It turned out I had cholestasis of pregnancy, which can be dangerous for the baby if not treated. My doctor prescribed Actigall and induced labor at 37 weeks. Some babies are stillborn if left in an environment where they are exposed to elevated bile acid levels, so if you are experiencing severe itching get it checked out! My doctor was not familiar with cholestasis and had to refer me to a specialist. I was monitored very closely with ultrasounds every week. Everything ended up fine and my baby had no problems.
