  RESULTS
  There was no linear relation among serum cholanic acid, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, total bilirubin, and gestational age when skin pruritus of pregnant women appeared, but there was positive correlation among the neonate status, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and the onset time of pruritus. There was no correlation between the amount of postpartum hemorrhage and the newborn Apgar scores. No significant difference was found in perinatal prognosis The appearance of skin between normal and abnormal outcomes in the nonstress test.
