Latest Comment by Kammysmom - September 20, 2008: I am not a physician, but a mother who had Obstetric Cholestasis in the last 4 wks. of my pregnancy. I did not deliver early.When my daughter was 2 she developed Kawasaki Disease.She is half Filipino and half caucasion. At birth she had brown spots and as she grows she gets more on her neck,face,and arms.I am wondering if these symptoms she has now are linked to Obstetric Cholestasis.I have 3 other children-all healty and no complicated pregnancies.This might be a great study. There are people who have these problems and need answers.Thanks for the input.
