I had Cholestasis with my 3rd pregnancy. It is one of the reasons i won't be having another child but that's just my choice, don't let me put you offI sympathsise with the itching! OMG it kept me awake at night toward the end... it was so bad on my feet and palms that it was like I had chickpox but without any rash so people just don't understand what you are going through (I had chicken pox as an adult). I was induced at 37 weeks in a public hospital. It went as well as could be expected although I felt a bit rushed... another topic!
Unfortunantly I have developed an ongoing health condition (hyperthyroidism, I have another thread about it) that my endocrinologist thinks could be related to the cholestasis (my thyroid is enflamed). Don't fret about this... just maybe keep it in mind.
I hope all goes well. I understand the desire for another child despite the risks... don't worry too much... one day at a time.
