Worried mummy icp
hi, any mummies here ever diagnosed with cholestasis during 8 months pregnancy? Tell me more about it. What happen then? Tia
Hi... Some treatment options include: 1. Topical anti-itch medications or medication with corticosteroids 2. Medication to decrease the concentration of bile acids such as ursodeoxycholic acid 3. Cold baths and ice water slow down the flow of blood in the body by decreasing the temperature 4. Dexamethasone is a steroid that increases the maturity of the baby’s lungs 5. Vitamin K supplements administered to the mother before delivery and again once the baby is born to prevent intracranial hemorrhaging 6. Dandelion Root and Milk Thistle are natural substances that are beneficial to the liver (talk to your healthcare provider before taking these) 6. Bi-weekly non-stress tests which involve fetal heart monitoring and contraction recordings Regular blood tests monitoring both bile serum levels and liver function
