Obstetric Cholestasis
| Traumatic Birth experience |
| Hello, I have joined this forum to see if there are any other women out there whom have had TRAUMATIC BIRTHS CAUSED BY THE STAFF AT THE HOSPITAL. Especially, where they have been ignored by the midwife on the post-natal ward about their concerns for their newborn baby's health. And their baby has been admitted to the special care unit as an emergency, primarily with HYPOGLYCAEMIA. And whom have had PRE-ECLAMPSIA, and have been mistreated by the maternity unit staff. I would be very interested in anyone's stories out there, as this has affected my life since my son was born three and a half years ago. I have not recovered properly from this event since. Did any women experience BURNING SENSATION, AND CARDIAC ARRYTHMIAS AFTER BEING GIVEN MAGNESIUM SULPHATE DURING LABOUR. Click here to reply |

Obstetric cholestasis, sometimes called OC or cholestasis of pregnancy, is a liver disorder that a few pregnant women may get. Cholestasis means a condition where the flow of bile from the liver is reduced. Bile is a yellow fluid produced by your liver that contains waste products and chemicals (bile salts) to help digestion. Usually the only symptom of obstetric cholestasis is itching. The itching completely disappears within a week or two of the birth and does not cause long-term health problems for mothers. But the condition may prove fatal to babies unless it is recognised and treated in time. The itching generally appears in the last three months of pregnancy but can be sooner. It can be unbearable for the mother but the greatest risk is to the unborn baby who will need to be delivered early, around 37 or 38 weeks. This will help prevent the possibility of stillbirth. You can find more information about OC from the Support Organisations below. Obstetric Cholestasis Support and Information LineThe aim of the Obstetric Cholestasis (OC) Help and Information Line is to provide support to mothers who have the condition and information to those who think they may have had the condition but need to be diagnosed.
