I had this, I am so sad they didn’t educate me about what my body was going through but so so thankful my son is here, born alive and so healthy.

I am currently being treated as a patient with ICP without my liver or bile acids test showing it. My doctor listened to my story and my symptoms alone. I’m so grateful to him. I am currently 32 weeks with twins and will be induced in 33 days as a result!! I cannot wait to stop itching! Nothing is helping it right now and it gets absolutely dreadful at night. 😭

Just got diagnosed with this at 28 weeks and had to do so much research on it because apparently this is rare and there's barely any information out there on this. Thank you for this video!

I was diagnosed with ICP and as of October 1, 2023, ICP now has a new ICD-10 code 026.64 with further designations for trimester of onset. Medical professionals will now be able to accurately document ICP cases in patients’ medical charts, marking a significant step forward in the recognition and management of this condition.

This presentation was spot on

I never got diagnosed but I know I had it. My bile level wasn't high enough to be diagnosed. I itched all over and was even told I had elevated liver levels which they couldn't understand. I'm taking bile salts now and drinking milk thistle. Im pregnant again and trying to avoid ICP if I can.

I had obstetric cholestasis of pregnancy with my third child,itchy skin(no rash)and severe morning sickness.Doctors didn't know what was wrong with me,until taken into hospital at 35 weeks,after many tests...my reading was at 400 and delivery was induced at 36weeks, thankfully my baby had no difficulty and was perfectly healthy. The itching and sickness stopped immediately after I gave birth. I'm in Scotland, UK.The doctor's had no clue what was wrong with me and OC was unheard of.I was extremely fortunate to have a good outcome..

This happen to me all 3 babies. Had to do my home work!! The next day I went to my dummy doctor, he than send me right to a specialist!!! I had to find out what I had. Thank God for internet.

I got diagnosed at 18 weeks. I'm 30 weeks now ugh it's rough

Very informative video....Thank u sir

I had this when I was pregnant and blown off!

I had this with my first son ..He was born at 26 weeks thankfully healthy ..now pregnant with my fourth and am itching already at 15 weeks am so worried 😔

Is ICP linked to intellectual disability? I had undiagnosed ICP and carried my daughter full term + 10 days overdue. She is now 13 years and has a mild intellectual disability which I believe is a result of untreated ICP 😔

Thank you. I'm at 38 weeks and was asked to go to the emergency room because I started getting itching all over my body with no rash. It's not confirmed yet if it's colistasis but was still prescribed ursidiol . You mentioned that it's more for moms benefit, and doesn't do anything for baby... If the symptoms are tolerable enough, should I avoid taking this medication? At least until a diagnosis is confirmed?my Ihaven't started using it because colistasis is not confirmed and the information leaflet wasn't in depth, also I'm a bit scared to put anything else in my body because this itch started the night I got the flu shot

I've just been diagnosed with this and put on medication. I'm just coming up to 18 weeks pregnant and I'm worried sick.

Those who had coliseties in pregnancy can we get pregnant again is it rick?

Mild itching on hands,arms,face and back for 2 days now.31 weeks pregnant.what should I do?

I get this with every pregnancy earlier each time. The itch starts on my feet then spreads all over. Even my eyelids. I'm 8 weeks now and its already started. I can't even see my doctor till 10 weeks. It changes the way you live especially if its untreated. I got no meds my first pregnancy. Horrible torture. I waited 12 yrs to get pregnant again cause I thought I was allergic to pregnancy. Birth control causes the same reaction.

I’ve had this twice , they didn’t know a lot about it but I was monitored and had bloods weekly with Urso , had babies 37 & 39 weeks , I’m expecting my third so waiting for it to Come along again

he is academy!!!!! wonderful

I started itching mildly at 17 weeks. I had labs done and my bile acids came back at 92.2 I am now 19 weeks pregnant and the itching is unbearable. I am taking ursodiol 300mg 3 times a day but it does not help at all. My doctor doesn’t seem worried at all. What can I do?

I am 19 weeks pregnant and had itching in one palm at a time and some swelling i have acidic reflex , not tested yet and kind of worried

I had cholestasis with my 3rd pregnancy my son had to be born at 35 weeks he didn't need to stay in the ICU for long, he had no problems after birth. Except an acute murmur. My first 2 pregnancies I didn't have any problems. I'm 28 weeks and 4 days now on my 4th pregnancy and my bile acids was elevated. Now I'm worried of my baby being born even before 34 weeks.

My bile acids came back at 12.1 and my OB says this is normal and not indicative of ICP. Idk what to do?!

@2:37 AST/ALT elevation

Hi, My wife was diagnosed with high levels(10times) of ALT around 20th week with itching but since then after taking UDCA her ALT levels are 5 times. In that situation can we wait for full term if other ultrasonography reports are normal? Would appreciate your reply. Thanks.

The question is does it go away after pregnancy or stays

I'm 24 weeks pregnant and my body is itchy with no rush

I’m 40 weeks I’m getting induced Friday I have cholestasis I’m scared

Thank you very much

I know this is a late comment to this old video but I’m 34 weeks and having dark urine in the morning. Like super dark and my legs where my calves and in the front are SO itchy and I haven’t been sleeping, feeling nausea here and there and super fatigued... does the itching happen like CONSTANT or can it come and go? Just wondering

👍👍👍

Dandelion and milk thistle cures it
