Cholestasis

I had another check-up today. It turns out that I have Cholestasis. It's a liver disease you can get during pregnancy. I guess what happens is that my body is not getting rid of my bile. It builds up under the skin and that's what causes the itching. I started itching really bad about 1 month ago. My doctor did some tests measuring something in my liver. He said normal levels are 3.1 and mine were 8.4. He put me on some meds to help with the itching and another to help break down the bile. I also have to go in for weekly monitoring now. As of now he said the will probably take the baby at 38 weeks by c-section. Of course this could change if I become worse. This disease will go away sometime after I deliver.

I also have to go back in for another ultrasound at 34 weeks to check the little guys kidneys again. They are still a little dilated. Like my doctor said, I just can't have a boring pregnancy.
