You'll have blood tests, and pee test, probably moniter the baby on the ctg and then see the OB and you may get a scan as well.]]> Tue, 17 Jul 2007 12:51:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9208&PID=181714&title=cholestasis-of-pregnancy#181714 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9208&PID=181708&title=cholestasis-of-pregnancy#181708 Author: MelanieAndBree

Depends on the hospital and how bad you are and how busy they are. You may end up going to an antenatal day unit assessment.]]> Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:39:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9208&PID=181447&title=cholestasis-of-pregnancy#181447 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9208&PID=181409&title=cholestasis-of-pregnancy#181409 Author: MelanieAndBree

Never heard of it before, do you know anything else and what it means?


ETA: ok have just researched it but I don't recommend doing that, ok? Here's some tips I found for you (you're probably doing them already though):
- Eat a Low-Fat Diet
- Drink Lots of Water
- Keep Temperature Low/Wear Cool Clothing

And re treatment: The goals of treating cholestasis of pregnancy are to relieve the itching and prevent complications. Itching may be treated with topical anti-itch medications or with corticosteroids. Medication is sometimes used to help decrease the concentration of bile acids. Vitamin K may also be used if blood clotting factors are abnormal....an early delivery may [also] be necessary.

Let us know how things go with the hospital

Anyone here had this before?

My midwife thinks i might have it. I got my bloods done today and she got them back and apparently the liver one wasnt normal.

So i now have to wait some more for an appt. at the hospital.

Fun.]]> Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:15:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9208&PID=181241&title=cholestasis-of-pregnancy#181241
