Hi Doctor, I am 34 weeks pregnant and have a liver complication called Cholestasis. My doc tor has told that she will induce me three weeks early and is monitoring the fetal heart rate regularly. I have heard in this case there are high risk of still birth. Please suggest.
Hello dear, I understand your concern. Obstetric homeostasis of pregnancy (OCP) is the second most common cause of jaundice in pregnancy. And is usually seen in 3rd trimester of pregnancy i.e., between 29-40 weeks. It is associated with preterm labor, low birth weight and other complications. But continuous monitoring and timely intervention prevent the complications. So induction earlier might be needed to avoid fetal complications. So don't worry. Relax follow your doctor s advise and prescription. Avoid stress. Hope this helps. Best regards...
