hI,
thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
Your itching in body was due to obstetric cholestasis .. which indicates liver problem. That is why your symptoms disappeared after Udiliv.
* Still you have to be in regular contact with your doctor, Provide him information regarding continue with udiliv & probably Vitamin K / repeat liver function tests / follow dietary advise given. Thus controlled maternal & fetal health continued till fetus becomes viable... & then your delivery may be natural/ induced ,with active management of placental delivery .to avoid complications.
* After one week of delivery, blood check up for liver function tests is to be done to confirm their normality.
* One more thing to remember is avoid hormonal contraceptives for family planning.
* AN utmost care while next pregnancy is vital.. as recurrence rate is 40-50%
Thanks.
