All right, im not sure if anyone is following this thread, but i thought i would put this experience down for future ladies. The last update i was getting bloods drawn to check if i had ICP. The Dr's office never called back on the friday so i figured everything must be ok. The weekend was tiring, had my baby shower and i was increasingly feeling bad. Really nauseous, i lost weight etc. Monday i woke up, and noticed a lot of mucous and a tiny tiny pencil line of blood. Every following day i noticed very watery discharge in the morning when i got up. I decided to wait till the following thursday as my Dr never called me back, but in the meantime i was increasingly feeling very uneasy with the situation.
At the app't he told me my liver enzymes were through the roof, but there is no treatment for cholestasis, and he could induce me at 39 weeks at the earliest. i started to cry. I am a healthy woman, a runner, eat well and really know my body. I just knew something was really really wrong, and it seemed no one was taking me seriously. So that is when my body decided to do something for me. At 33 weeks and 5 days, my water broke right there on the exam table. I was sent over the the hospital right away in labour. Miraculously, my labour stopped after about an hour and a half, and i was able to get a massive dose of antibiotics, and steroids for the preemie baby. Usually the babe is born 48 hrs post rupture of membranes, but my little guy decided to stay in there thankfully. I am now 34 weeks today, just got home yesterday after lots of care and monitoring. Im just waiting for next week (7 more days) till he is 35 weeks, then I will be induced and meet the little guy.
This post is not to freak anyone out if thy have obstetric cholestasis. The premature rupture of membranes may not be linked to the fact i have OC. My liver enzymes were so bad that i think my body just wanted to get the baby out. But not everyone will have such a severe reaction. I am just saying that i KNEW something was wrong, and because my Dr felt little for it, i didn't go seek a second opinion. I will never ever do that again.
