Hi ladies

Hope you can help

After mentioning the overall itching that I had just started experiencing to my OB last week he immediately sent me for blood test which came back unfortunately on Friday to confirm that I had increased levels of bile salt in blood steam. He has put me on an anti-biotic which he had told me about at the visit. Wanted to start immediately this immediately so had faxed the script to my local pharmacy - who were more than happy to fill the script and take my $200 !!!!!!!

He has moved my weekly Tuesday appointment to Monday and wants to discuss then if my pregnancy is causing this conditioin whether I need to remain pregnant! I will be 38 weeks on Monday. Baby is IVF baby so we do know that the dates are 100% correct and that at 38 weeks baby would be fine.

I am reluctant to google the condition too much as I know how scarey some of the information you read on line can be - especially when information source is unknown - but would like to have some information prior to seeing OB on Monday and having discussion.

What if anything do you ladies know about the condition and what are your thoughts regarding having the baby "early".


Any insights/ experience would be really appreciated.

Thanks
