Hi! Has anyone had cholestasis and a natural labour? I had an induction with my first child, she was born at around 38 weeks thanks to obstetric cholestasis. I was unbelieveably uncomfortable with the constant itching but I feel really robbed of a natural labour. I wasn't even told anything about the disease, I had to find out information myself, my doctor just booked me in for an induction the day after. Labour with my daughter was only about 3 hours long and I was in constant horrendous pain, and everything just felt so unnatural, drugged up and rushed! I am now pregnant with my second child, who is due in January, and I am worried I will have to be induced again thanks to the cholestasis. Is it really necessary to be induced? I have read cholestasis can cause stillborn but I just want to know if there is any chance of delivering naturally.
