So, today I had yet another OB appointment. I've had a few blood tests - the bile acid test came back borderline, but just within the normal range. My liver test came back high the first time, but after I was on the medication, it was back in the normal range. The medication seemed to make the itching stop, so my doctor had me quit the medication on Friday to see if the itching would come back. If it did, then we would know I have cholestasis; if not, then it was a fluky thing. Well, Sunday night it came back and was driving me nuts, so I went back on the medication. Today the doctor told us that since my symptoms came back, we are going with the cholestasis diagnosis. I got to have my blood drawn yet again... yay. :) And, we set a date for me to be induced. She wants to induce labor somewhere between 36 and 37 weeks when she is on call, so the date will be April 6th! Less than a month away! So, needless to say I am feeling motivated to get everything ready before the baby gets here!

Praying for you Megs! Glad they are keeping a close eye on everything.
Good luck getting everything ready early!
Wow! It's good that they were able to pinpoint the problem.
