Starting a family

It is entirely possible for someone living with PBC to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

If you’re planning to start or grow your family, talk to your doctor first. Some PBC medications are considered safe during pregnancy, but it's important to review everything you're taking. Itching may worsen, and some treatments for it might need to be paused during the first trimester. Your doctor will guide you through any necessary adjustments.1
