Obstetric Cholestasis Claims
Obstetric Cholestasis (also known as Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy – ICP) is a rare liver disorder in pregnancy
Obstetric Cholestasis (also known as Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy – ICP) is a rare liver disorder in pregnancy caused by a bile acid build-up which causes chronic itching and can also be dangerous for the unborn baby with an increased risk of stillbirth. The condition needs careful management with testing of bile acid levels and may require early delivery to reduce the risk of harm to the baby.
If mistakes are made in the management of this condition, for example, a failure to diagnose it or to carry out appropriate testing, such as liver function tests, there may be a claim for medical negligence.

Can my attorney just do what they like with my money?
You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity so it is a good idea to think about it early, even if you are young and healthy. The chances are that you won’t need it for a long time and maybe not at all. However, if something unexpected happens, for example if you are in an accident, then having an LPA in place will be one less thing for your loved ones to worry about.
If you make an LPA now and change your mind about who your attorneys should be, then you can always make a new one later.
