I am 37 and 3/7 weeks pregnant and of Asian Indian descent. I have been itching all over my palms and legs for weeks, with no signs of jaundice or abnormal stools. My doctor ordered liver studies which showed slightly elevated ALT (39), AST (83), and Alk Phos (245), suggesting possible ICP (Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy). My bilirubin levels are within normal range. My doctor suggests waiting until 40 weeks, but I am concerned about developmental delays in infants born before 39 weeks. Are my lab values concerning, and should I worry about developmental delays if the baby is born at 38 weeks? How do you manage pregnancies with ICP, and what warning signs should I look for? What advice can you give based on my lab values and symptoms?
