Liver disease and pregnant

[19Jessica82]

Anyone who has been diagnosed with nafld, Nash, and liver fibrosis who is also pregnant? I just found out about the pregnancy and have so many questions...

Hi Jessica

Can't be much help to you personally, but try to make sure you have a hepatologist on your care team. Pregnancy can cause liver damage for some women so it mustn't be ignored but on the flip side there have been a lot of successful pregnancies by women dealing with liver issues. The subject doesn't come up often, hopefully someone here has more information than I do. We wish you the best.

I had my son two years ago. Found out during a routine ultrasound that I have fatty liver. I was 27 and was always a very healthy weight but gained 90 pounds during pregnancy! Not sure I can offer much advice but I just want to I just want you to know that you aren't alone. It's scary as all get out, I know but once that sweet baby is in your arms, that will make it all okay. I haven't returned to the doctor due to fear (since baby was around 6months) so I guess I'm not one to talk but I'd keep going to your appointments and stay on top of things, especially while pregnant! That's very important. Best of luck. God bless.
