Is delivery by 37 weeks necessary for cholestasis of pregnancy?
I got diagnosed with cholestasis last week and my itching is bohot bad at night. Doc mentioned they may plan delivery around 37 weeks but didnt explain much and im thoda confused why so early. Did anyone here deliver at 37 for this, how was it?
With cholestasis, doctors usually suggest 37 weeks to keep baby safe, so please listen to your gynac's advice. I had a C-section at 37 weeks due to some issues, and honestly, the recovery was thoda tough initially but totally manageable with rest and timely meds. Trust your doctor, they will take the best decision for you and the little one.
While you are discussing this delivery timeline with your gynac, don't stress too much and try to enjoy your favourite foods. I am currently dreaming about hot cheesy pizzas, but health comes first! Definitely ask your doctor what is safe for you and baby, they know best.
Please, please follow whatever your doctor says about this. Having lost a baby before, I know how precious every single day is, and cholestasis can get risky for the baby if left too long. Don't take any chances, just discuss the delivery plan clearly with your gynac.
I had a normal delivery and let me tell you, every pregnancy has its own timeline. For cholestasis, delivering early is often recommended for safety, so do check with your gynac about your bile acid levels. Whatever way baby comes, it will be beautiful and you'll do great!
I panicked like crazy when my doc first mentioned delivering at 37 weeks because of cholestasis! But actually it is very common and normal to deliver early in this condition to avoid risks. Once my gynac explained everything, I felt so much better, so please do chat with your doctor to ease your mind.
