    waiting on blood test results for bile salts

    Has anyone been tested or confirmed to have a condition where the liver function is diminished due to pregnancy and putting out what's called "bile salts" into the blood? The only symptom of the problem is extreme itching...either generalized or on the palms and soles of the feet. I have such itching and had blood drawn yesterday for testing. Now I have to wait two weeks before getting the results back. If the results are positive for the condition, the dr. will induce labor immediately to get the baby out of the environment and allow my liver function to return to normal. I'm really having trouble putting this out of my mind for two weeks while waiting to find out. So has anyone else gone through this who can give me some advice/support or any ideas that will help ease my worry for the next 13 days?
