And now I wish I had the last few weeks to survive
I just recently posted asking how everyone got by on the last month of pregnancy. Apparently a lot can change in just a couple of days. I got a call yesterday that some of my bloodwork came back and I tested positive for something called cholestasis. Suddenly I want five long weeks of discomfort.
However, snce cholestasis is associated with an elevated risk of sudden fetal death or stillbirth, I'm having an induction (or possibly a c-section) this upcoming evening at 37 weeks. I'm a bit freaked, but it should work out in the end. We are getting her out before she can be really harmed.
Ladies, tey to appreciate those last few, uncomfortable but healthy weeks. And if you start itching a lot, particularly in your hands and feet (but also all over-ugh) tell your OB! Apparently that can be a sign, and possibly only sign, of a dangerous condition.
