24 weeks pregnant, alt levels high (liver enzymes)?? .... ICP?

I had obstetric cholestasis with my last pregnancy and I asume this is what you are referring to as this is to do with the liver. First of all don't panic as you will be closely monitored throughout your pregnancy with blood tests etc. I was started on an anti-histamine to stop the itch (which I did have) and then a drug which is used to treat OC and is safe in pregnancy. I was induced at 37 weeks as the risk of stillbirth is higher after full term gestation. Hopefully your midwife will reassure you.
