Has anyone had to deal with cholestasis ? I think that may be why I’m so itchy everywhere and why I’m so nauseous and can’t eat anything !! But If anyone has ever been through this what were your signs and how did you find out that’s what it was !! And what should I do ?

Yes. I have had Cholestasis with almost all my pregnancies. Just went in for bloodwork with this pregnancy as well. The first time I found out because I was extremely itchy. It mostly happens on you feet, ankles, hands and wrists. You will need bloodwork for liver function and bile acids. If they are elevated they will most likely prescribe you Actigall or the generic version, and want to induce around 36-37 weeks. They will also want you to do NSTs to check on baby. Nothing really helps with the itching for me except ice packs, or being in the cold. It also suppresses my appetite but doesn’t really make me nauseous. I would call your doctor ASAP and let them know your symptoms!

I swear if this IUD is causing me to bleed this heavily for my first postpartum period, I'm getting it taken out! I don't want to deal with this shit every month.

I take warm baths or warm showers, use a heating pad, and also I use my pregnancy pillow. Truthfully, the pregnancy pillow after a warm bath/shower helps me the most.

Mommas who already have had children, how did you know you were in labor ? What we’re your first signs ? I’m supposed to be induced on the 20th but my gut tells me my son won’t wait that long. He probably will since he is only 3lbs but I want to know signs of labor just incase. I also want to know details on how it feels like for when I am induced so if you were induced please let me know how it was. Please share your labor stories below (induced or not) to relive some of my anxiety lol😩🥰🥰

i started cramping in my lower back & stomach, kinda like intense period cramps. it was constant but intensified at random point when i’d have a contraction which also made my stomach super hard. along with nausea/ vomiting. (thankfully they were able to give me meds to stop it from progressing so no baby yet) but i was in active labor. the contractions also made my heart rate & blood pressure spike!

No one understand how hard it is Having to leave your baby in NICU and being discharged home. Idk how to deal with it . Just want my baby home and at sametime I know it good for her as well. But no one tell how painful it is to leave the hospital first without your baby 🥺 does anyone else feel the same way ?

Very nervous because I broke up with someone while on my period. And started a relationship a couple days after. We went to the first ultrasound and they said I was 8 weeks when I was only with my bf for 7. So now he doesn’t think it’s his and doesn’t want to take care of it. I tried to explain that they went from the start of your period and since your not pregnant on your period it was his.

I’d tell him you’d give him a paternity test to prove it to him.

Do you normally go into labor around the same time as your first or is it usually earlier? I was induced at 40 weeks with zero signs of starting labor with my first, but I really want to see how far I'll end up with this one and go into labor naturally.

Pregnancies that are low risk, and uninterrupted most commonly go into labor between 40-43+ weeks. You can absolutely go into labor naturally, just by not allowing it and saying "No" to any and all unnecessary interventions and inductions. It's different for everyone, so whatever it was with a previous baby, will not matter. No signs of labor at 40 weeks is totally normal! OBGYN's are so quick to intervene for no reason at all. Your body isn't broken. Due dates are only mere estimations, that's why you shouldn't focus on that and just allow your body to do it's thing without stressing whether your baby will be here soon or not. No one ever stayed pregnant forever. I had three natural home births, with a midwife, which trusted my body more than any OBGYN. All of my girls were able to come when they were ready. My first baby was at 40w2d, my second baby was at 40w5d, and my third baby came at 41w1d. No issues, no complications, all average size babies 8+lbs each. No fear mongering of going past my dude date. None of that unnecessary BS. Had I been in the care of an OBGYN, I probably would have been asked to be induced, and in that case, I would have said "No, thank you, I'm good", because you have every right to say no. They only reason why it's pushed to regularly and so much, is because they make big money pushing these interventions, even when it ISN'T medically necessary. It's up to YOU to be as informed as possible and give full informed consent to anything you do. And you have every right to opt out of ANYTHING you do not feel comfortable with doing. Don't let them bully you into thinking you have to be induced. It's usually not the case. Your body isn't broken, however the system is. Remember that. Babies can come at any time. There's no need to rush them unless it's a life or death situation, and going past your due date is more common than we know and isn't a reason to induce.

I will also add, you can show no dilation or effacement one day, and then the next day you can be in full blown labor, and vice versa, some dilation and effacement, and not go into labor til well after your due date. "No signs of labor" is discouraging, and doesn't mean anything. I wasn't dilated with all three of my girls until right when I had them. My water also never broke until they were all crowning and I can feel their heads with my hand, and I also never lost my mucus plug in either of my pregnancies, as it came out on their heads. So I had "no signs of labor", but guess what? They still came naturally, on their own with no problems. I have known quite a few mama friends that also do home births, to birth after 42+ and 43+ weeks, no issues! It would be more common if the corrupt healthcare industry would stop interfering where it isn't needed. Birth is not a medical emergency, but a natural event that rarely needs medical assistance. If we trust our bodies more and stopped allowing unnecessary interventions, we'd have higher succession rates, just like we do in home births. Success rates are much higher than in hospital births, where emergencies are highly likely because of the way birth is treated by such.

I wasn't forced or pushed with my first, they just asked if it was something i wanted to do and I was over being pregnant TBH 😅 but thank you! This is really helpful to know as my current doctor has already mentioned they don't go past 41 weeks and if things go the same as my first I most likely won't be ready by 41 weeks 🙃

How do y’all deal with family that try telling you how to raise your baby? I’m pregnant with a little boy and he’s the first grandson on both sides of the family. My momma is my rock I need her in this pregnancy but my fiancé’s family is being pretty demanding on what we “are” going to do. Now I’m a grown woman. Yes this is my first baby and I’m so blessed to have him and my wonderful fiancé! And I do love my in-laws! But it’s demands. I’m not one to take demands and yeah I’m still pregnant but I’m already momma bear. How do y’all deal with it?

You tell them you are the parent, your decision comes first and you could tell them you appreciate the ideas or thoughts from them and will take it into consideration if needed. Girl don't let anyone raise your son any different than what YOU WANT your the momma!

I do love them so much. Me and my fiancé were raised soooo definitely. My parents are so excited and just want to be supportive and I do call my momma a lot for advice! I even had her go through my birth plan and she helped me better it! My mother in law is sweet but she’s says “we are having the baby shower this day and it’s this theme” or she tells my fiancé “he will get his shots and be circumcised” and when my fiancé says that’s our decision she lashes out and is very hateful to him. But will never say anything to me. So when my fiancé told me what she said my blood boiled so bad. I am momma and I’m not letting another women take my momma time away from me.

I live 2 hours away but my fiancé is still there working with his family and is looking for a job here. I told him I wanted to stay here in my hometown and he was more than happy to make the happen for me. He’s literally a blessing and I love his family I do but I hate the demands! Being raised in two completely different ways I think effects it. Which they are kind to me they threw me a birthday party! But when it’s them and my fiancé they are demanding towards him
