Fear of being induced may be coming to fruition... Help! (Cholestasis)

Need Advice

There are 2 things I wanted to avoid during my L&D experience: Induction & C-section! I just found out last week I have mild cholestasis of pregnancy. Normal liver bile levels are usually between 1-10, mine were at 13 as of 2 weeks ago & they're going to re-test me tomorrow. Im honestly shocked I even have it, I just felt a little bit itchy but honestly was not even going to bring it up at my apt - just decided to last minute bc I assumed it was normal. I'm assuming if they have gone up, they will recommend induction at 37 weeks. I am 35+3 today & was hoping baby boy would come naturally... Im so scared to be induced and fear the cascade of interventions! Anyone have advice on having a positive induction? Also, anyone else have mild cholestasis?
