I'm 28 weeks pregnant and have had hepatic cholestasis of pregnancy for 4 weeks. I also had the same condition for the same amount of time with my first pregnancy. The itchy skin and insomnia are driving me crazy! My doctor recommends trying Ursodeoxycholate. I've read articles and trust his opinion, but I was wondering if you know of anyone who has taken it while pregnant, especially this early? Thanks.
