Is Induced Labour Required When Suffering From Obstetric Choleastasis?
Hi Doctor.. I am currently 36 weeks pregnant. I have been diagnosed with obstetric choleastasis in 5th month of pregnancy. In my latest LFT report alkaline phjosphatase value is 214 U/L. My gyn has advised me for an early labor i.e once i cross 37 weeks, she want to induce labor immediately. I am taking Udiliv 300mg twice a day. I wanted to know whether early labor is required for my case as the ALP values are not too high. I consulted another gyn and she suggested that I can wait till 40 weeks for a natural labor. I am in a confused state now. So please advise me regarding this.
