Celina Jaitley Opens Up About Cholestasis Diagnosis During Pregnancy: All About This Rare Liver Condition
Actress Celina Jaitly opened up about her challenges during pregnancy in a heartfelt note on Instagram. In the caption of the post, she revealed that she was diagnosed with cholestasis, a rare liver condition during pregnancy. She emphasized the seriousness of this condition and how it can affect both the mother and the baby during pregnancy. "Both my pregnancies were overwhelming. I had gestational diabetes, severe SPD, and in both, I developed #choleostasis of Pregnancy, a rare liver condition more common in twin pregnancies. It nearly broke me," she wrote. What is cholestasis? Cholestasis of pregnancy is a liver condition that typically occurs in late pregnancy. Cholestasis of pregnancy can be very uncomfortable and may increase the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby. Pregnancy hormones, genes and some environmental factors can contribute to cholestasis. In cholestasis, the flow of bile juice from the liver to the small intestine reduces or stops. As a result, bile builds up in the liver, and bile acids eventually enter the bloodstream. High levels of bile acids in the blood contribute to some serious symptoms and complications. What are the symptoms of cholestasis? Cholestasis of pregnancy triggers intense itching without a rash. "It starts with itching palms, soles, sleepless nights and a deep fear for your baby's safety. Cholestasis isn't "just a pregnancy itch." It's a warning from your liver that something's wrong," Jaitly added. Syptoms include: Itching, particularly on the hands and feet Dark urine color Pain in the right upper quadrant (RUQ), without gallstones Fatigue Loss of appetite Nausea Treatment for cholestasis during pregnancy Treatment mainly focuses on reducing itching and preventing potential complications. Your doctor may prescribe medication to relieve itching and other discomforts. They will also constantly monitor the baby's health. "I was treated with Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), which lowers bile acids and eases symptoms. Oat baths and pregnancy-safe topicals also helped," she added. Complications The actress also mentioned the possible complications of cholestasis in the detailed post. She wrote: Cholestasis can have serious impacts- For baby: Preterm birth Fetal distress Meconium-stained fluid Stillbirth (if untreated) For mother: Intense itching Elevated bile acids Risk of preeclampsia Emotional exhaustion "To every mother: If you're pregnant and experiencing persistent itching, especially at night, ask for a bile acid test. Early detection can save lives." "Pregnancy is sacred, but vulnerable that's why I want to keep speaking openly about maternal health. Because silence never saved a mother. But awareness just might... 🤍," she concluded. Cholestasis in pregnancy is more common in the last trimester of pregnancy when hormones are at their peak, but it usually resolves within a few days after delivery.

Celina Jaitly opens up about battling cholestasis and other medical conditions during pregnancy
Actress Celina Jaitly opened up about the health challenges she faced during her twin pregnancy, shedding light on a lesser-discussed aspect of motherhood. In a heartfelt revelation on Instagram, she shared that she battled gestational diabetes, cholestasis, and other medical conditions while expecting. By speaking candidly about her experience, Celina hopes to create more awareness around high-risk pregnancies and offer support to women navigating similar journeys. Sharing a series of her photos with her kids, the 'No Entry' actress wrote, '#maternalhealth - When the Itch Could Have Taken My Babies: My Battle With Cholestasis I was born with a rare genetic gift, a tendency to hyper ovulate. I had two spontaneous twin pregnancies, a trait passed down through generations of women in my family. I later learned my mother too had carried twins after my brother & me, babies she tragically lost after a fall in Ranikhet. Even my great-great-grandmother died from complications during a twin pregnancy.' 'Both my pregnancies were overwhelming. I had gestational diabetes and severe SPD, and in both, I developed #choleostasis of Pregnancy, a rare liver condition more common in twin pregnancies. It nearly broke me. It starts with itching palms, soles, sleepless nights and a deep fear for your baby's safety. Cholestasis isn't 'just a pregnancy itch.' It's a warning from your liver that something's wrong. After my wonderful gynaecologist diagnosed me, I was referred to a hepatologist a Jordanian Dr who held my hand in a Dubai hospital and said a prayer. A man of science and faith. That moment of compassion stayed with me and reminded me of how important compassion is to a patient.' Celina Jaitly also revealed that cholestasis during pregnancy is a liver condition that can have significant effects on both the baby and the mother. For the baby, it increases the risk of preterm birth, fetal distress, and the presence of meconium-stained amniotic fluid, which can lead to complications during delivery. In severe cases, if left untreated, cholestasis may even result in stillbirth. For the mother, the condition often causes intense itching—especially on the hands and feet—due to the build-up of bile acids in the bloodstream. The actress also mentioned that she was treated with Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA), a medication commonly prescribed to lower bile acid levels and alleviate the discomfort associated with cholestasis.

Celina Jaitly Urges All To Travel In Compassion Amidst Air India Crash
Mumbai: As the entire nation tries to come to terms with the unfortunate Air India crash that claimed more than 200 lives, actress Celina Jaitly was reminded of a small incident on her way back to Bahrain in 2025. She wrote on her Instagram handle, "An air hostess accidentally dropped an entire tray of drinks on me. I was drenched from head to toe. There wasn't a single seat to move to, and for a moment I was seething with discomfort and disbelief." During her time of distress, Celina was reminded of her late mother's wise words - 'Always remember, child, an honest mistake is still just that. Never let your class of travel define your class of heart,' which helped her calm down. "I calmed down and the #airhostess did everything she could to make me comfortable throughout the flight back home to Vienna. They gave me 10 thousand miles as an apology as well and I was very grateful for the kindness and compassion that followed in my journey," she recalled. Paying her condolences to the families of the victims of the horrific crash, Celina added, "I was deeply shaken yesterday by the heartbreaking Air India tragedy. My heart aches for the lives lost, for the loved ones left behind, and for the crew who give their best every single day at 35,000 feet." Sharing her personal experience with Air India, she went on to write, "I've known that kindness personally. I still remember flying solo from Singapore to Mumbai with my infant twins, how the Air India crew went above and beyond to help. Or how, at just 19, flying alone from Jamaica via New York, heartbroken and abandoned at JFK by someone I thought loved me it was an older Air India flight attendant who held my hand as I cried all the way to Mumbai. I've never forgotten that." Showing her gratitude for the cabin crew across the globe, the diva added, "To all the cabin crew around the world you hold more than just trays and boarding passes. You hold space for human frailty, for tears, for safety, and for grace." She concluded by praying for the lives lost. "May those lost in yesterday's tragedy fly high into the eternal light. May we all learn to travel not just in comfort, but in compassion. @airindia," Celina penned.
