Update on the pregnancy

[Guest guest]

Well week 32 and everything is going ok so far. The Perinatologist at

the U of M was right, with the PSC, the blood pressure will go up. I am

on early maternity leave due to this, and so far, that has done the

trick. I did develop Gestational Diabetes, but that was due to my age,

not the PSC, and I have been able to manage that with diet control. The

Hep, and OB agree I should be on a single dose of Antibiotics a day, to

prevent any flare ups, so I am taking that and i am still taking the

URSO. I am seen once a week in the OB clinic, and baby gets scanned

each

week(he is a little turkey, cause he refuses to show his face to us...

I think he wants us to be surprised), and I have LFTs taken once a

week. I think that it is overkill, since they have not gone up once

since getting pregnant, but hey, I am not a doctor, so I will do it. I

still feel like a human guniea pig, and I know somone is going to write

a paper on me, but hey, if it helps other women with PSC have babies,

then I am all for it!They are still planning Halloween day for the c-

section, and are concerned that the PSC will flare up and I will have

to go early, but I feel confident that it won't. Other than that,I

think things are going well. 7 more weeks to go! Will update more

later!! THANK GOD FOR THIS GROUP!!!!!!! Annie
