Update
Most of you who read this probably already know this (and thanks for being so supportive always, but especially over the past few days), but last week we found out I have cholestasis, which means I might have to be induced. After reading lots of scary stuff about cholestasis on the Internet (not recommended), getting a scary phone call from one of my doctors, followed up by a consultation with her in which she said they'd induce at 37 weeks (or earlier, if warranted), followed by our first trip to the perinatologist, our doctor today said they will keep monitoring me and the baby through a couple different tests and that they will induce depending on how those tests go ... not necessarily at 37 weeks (possibly sooner, possibly later). Anyway, it's been a pretty rough couple of days, but we're starting to feel more optimistic and like we understand the diagnosis and the plan from here on out a little better. The doctor today said that we could allow our minds to go down the path of worry and dark thoughts but not to do that, that the expected outcome is a healthy baby.
