Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us about your healthcare.
I have gone through your history and understood your concern
Your symptoms are suggestive of ICP( intrahepatic colestasis of pregnancy, in which bile levels are increased in blood and may cause itching and yellow discoloration of skin.
You can drink a lot of water,use camphor with coconut oil for local application( for itching) and lactocalamine lotion.
You can share your reports with us so we can suggest further medicines.
It may affect your baby and may cause premature delivery and PPH.
Hope you find it useful,feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards
