What is pregnancy cholestasis?

17-18 weeks pregnant, Health advice

Marie, I itch all over! My doctor said I have pregnancy cholestasis. Can you tell me what this means and what I can do to help my situation?

Myriam

Please read my article about pregnancy cholestasis for more information. And don’t forget, it’s only temporary.
