    Hey!
    I am interested in this too! I had my blood tests done for this yesterday and won't know results for 3-4 days.

    I have uncontrollable itching (like driving me INSANE) but it's on my neck, shoulders, chest and chin/jaw... I have no rash, just red from stratching too much... cortisol cream does nothing, claratyne (antihistamine) does nothing... I have a damaged liver already so at a higher risk and bubs already has concerns of being too small (5lb 7oz estimate at 38 weeks, 9th percentile)..and it's not caused by anything else because I have not changed a single thing in my diet, environment etc... NOTHING is different.

    I just googled it (cholestasis in pregnancy) and came up with a few websites that had some info, wikipedia had a little bit, and another website (link below) had some helpful stuff too!!
    Cholestasis of Pregnancy | Cholestasis in Pregnancy | Cholestasis during Pregnancy

    Anyone else had it that can help us??
