Is Induced Labour Necessary When Bile Acid Level Is High During Pregnancy?
Question: Hello,
I am 30wks pregnant and I have cholestasis. My bile acid was high and they said I have to be induced for labor because baby can be risked to still birth if they wait 40 wks. but I took another test a week ago on medication of cholestasis and it came our normal . Can i wait until 40ks or I still have to be pre labored? Because i noe it doesnt cure it but keeps your bile acid in range.
