The median gestation at onset of pruritus was 30 (range 4\u201339) weeks and at diagnosis of obstetric cholestasis was 33.7 (range 21\u201340.7) weeks. Asian women were more likely to be diagnosed with obstetric cholestasis. Pruritus was usually severe and generalised, and commonly worst on the palms and\/or soles of the feet. There were no stillbirths or perinatal deaths. Twenty\u2010five women required caesarean section (36%); only four (16%) were for fetal distress. Twelve women (17%) delivered before 37 weeks, of which eight (67%) were iatrogenic.
