Brief Answer:
You can take udiliv tablet.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I have gone through your history and investigation reports and it shows that your liver enzymes are raised.
As such cholestasis is common during pregnancy but if you are having itching and raised liver enzymes you should take udiliv tablet for it.
As such no medicine is safe during pregnancy but in your case it is important to take udilive tablet for healthy liver.
So please take it without hesitation but you can stop sorbitol syp.
You can take amino fit it is amino acid( simple protein) which is helpful in baby growth and development.
There is no harm in taking it.
Simultaneously you should take iron, calcium, healthy and nutritious diet with lots of vegetables and fruits, drink a lot of water.
If your baby is fine in ultrasound do not worry about your weight.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck and enjoy a happy and safe motherhood.
Regards

Hello dear,
You are most welcome.
Yes, your sister opinion is right, sorbilin is not safe during pregnancy.
It is pregnancy category D drug and is harmful for foetus.
As such sorbilin and udiliv are different drugs but can be used in liver dysfunction but in my opinion udiliv is drug of choice during pregnancy.
Yes, you should avoid these type of food because it may deranged liver enzymes.
No,if your baby is fine than there is no need of premature delivery.
