Cholestasis: Cholestasis of pregnancy affects the way your liver metabolizes bile salts. The most common symptom is itching. A sharp pinching pain between your shoulder blades is most likely caused by muscle tension. The pinching pain is probably not related to the cholestasis.

P & P & P: Progesterone(p1) + pregnancy(p2) + the action of p1 on relaxing thebiliary tract/ gall bladder smooth muscle = pain once p2 is delivered, that will be a formula for success in eliminating the pain. The only concern is gallstones lodging in the biliary tract necessitating surgery, so keep your OB md informed.
