Liver Disorder in pregnancy

[I Love Snow]

Has anyone else suffered with it? I had blood taken yesterday and the results came back today and it wasn't good news. Ihave to go and speak to the doctor tomorrow but i've got myself into a right old state,

sorry ILS, i have no experience of it, but justed wanted to send you hugs and calming thoughts hun. xx

[I Love Snow]

Thanks. Don't think i have anything left to cry with. I' m just feeling really sorry for myself as it has taken me a long time to get this far and now it seems to be one thing after another.

[redcrx]

i know exactly how you feel, sometimes you just wonder at what point youll feel good and bloom.

Try and pamper yourself this eve and relax if you can. a warm bath and an early night may calm you.

Have you any other symptoms at all or was it just found in routine bloods?

Hi ILS, sorry I can't help with answering the question but just wanted to let you know I will keep everything crossed for you tomorrow - let us know what happens.

How many weeks are you now? X

Try not to worry yourself until you have spoken to the doctor. It may be something as simple as an infection, easily treated by anti biotics.

Do as red has suggested, pamper yourself and get as much rest as you can :)

Good luck tomorrow, youll be fine, and so will bubs!

I've been itchy for about a week and the midwife said that it would be ok as long as it didn't get to the palm of my hands or the soles of my feet. Well me being me it did and i hot footed it to the doctors and he took it from there. I'm 25 weeks now but i'm not sure how this affects the baby. I got into a right state when the doctor phoned my work and didn't ask. Stupid !!

[natalie_1982]

Awww, not stupid at all hun, everthing becomes so intense when your preggers, I know it did for me - and now it seems a lifetime ago and I wonder why I would get in such a pickle about things! Try and relax tonight as best you can and write down any questions you have for your doc, as if you're anything like me when the appt comes you will have forgotten anything you wanted to ask!

Hi I love snow, one of my girlfriends had this, please try not to worry. They monitored her regularly and toward the end of her pregnancy around 36-37 weeks the soles of her feet and palms of her hands were excruciatingly itchy. They took her into hosp and she spent the last 3 weeks there, just so they could keep an eye on her, she wasnt bedridden or anything (just really bored). She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who is now a healthy and boisterous 5 year old.

Take care

hi, got put in hospital on thursday and i'm still here. things not looking very good for me or baby. my liver is ready for packing in and they might delivery the baby sometime this week. my parents are in spain for 2 weeks and they have been told when they phoned the hospital that it might be better if they come back early so that doesn't sound to good. Anyway will try and keep you up to date x

[warpig3]

Aw honey, I hope everything goes well for you and baby, am thinking of you both.

sending much love and strength, warpig xxx

[redcrx]

oh hun, you poor thing. I hope that you have your family with you.

sending you lots of hugs and best wishes xx

[natalie_1982]

ILS, I'm thinking of you sweetie. Look after yourself. My friend had her baby girl at 25 weeks and now she is nearly 2 years old and equal in all areas of development with a full term baby. Let us know how everything goes xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[I Love Snow]

They have let me out for a while. Well i say a while , i've got to go back at 7pm. So i'm now sitting at home with a decent cuppa. Things still not to good but the medication seems to have brought things down. If it carrys on the same the baby will be born in nine weeks if all turns to crap like last week then it will be born in four weeks. Thats if my liver can hold out that long so fingers crossed. So i seemed to have skipped the queue from August till ...well who knows. Thanks for your support and kind wishes. xx

[natalie_1982]

Any extra time cooking your little one is good ILS, I hope you are feeling better yourself. Is the liver disorder pregnancy related or something you will hae to live with / treat once baby is here? In just 4 weeks your baby will be so much stronger, and if you manage 9 weeks, well, you will be almost full term. I hope you can keep us updated, I'll keep checking back on here x

Back again from the hospital. My levels have gone down but they are still to high. The doctor says it is a waiting game and have got to take each day as it comes. The lastest they will take me in is 37 weeks unless something happens before that. Just really tired. I've got to take my tablets at 8 in the morning so i have to set the alarm in case i sleep longer and at 10 at night so i'm having to keep myself awake at night.
