Feeling upset today - I had been consistently seeing 1 of 3 MFMS in the practice and felt confident in our plan of action, but more recently started seeing the other two MFMs in the practice because of doctors' vacation schedules. The newest opinion was that "you guys are OVERtreating this..." and we've been overdiagnosing Cholestasis lately. My OB has been all along pushing for 38 week induction, but my primary MFM said she'd be good with 36 plus steroids. And she said collectively the 3 of the doctors met and decided as a group 37 weeks was their max. But today my OB is back to saying research says we can go 37-38 weeks and the NICU isn't going to be happy to see a 36 week baby. In fairness, on urso, my levels have been well under 3... and my highest level is 15.2, prior to increasing to the max dose of urso - which I realize is still mild, but this past week is beginning to rise again (6.6... OB: "That's within the normal range." I have been itching since week 5... I don't really care what the research says we "can do" or can get away with -- can you guarantee me a heathy baby? I can do NICU stay, I can't fathom the alternative. I'm not doing this again. It's been such a long stressful pregnancy. And this is my third itch. Then my OB launched into "so what's your plan for birth control after this?" When I said my husband's getting a vasectomy - she pushed that he should do it before delivery. To which I replied, "no, give me an alive baby first." Which I guess is calling my bluff? But why put me in that position? I'm sorry for the rant, I am just feeling defeated at the moment. And I should be thankful my numbers are "low," but part of my hopes for the validation of a level of 40 so I can justify a 36 week induction and have her in my arms. high low style dresses for bridesmaid
