Posted on Thu, 4 Jul 2013

Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for the query.
Alkaline phosphate is expected to rise in pregnancy so do not worry.
Skin rash could be due to viral infection or some drugs you may be taking, need to take opinion of a dermatologist to see what exactly is the problem.
Raised alkaline phosphate is nothing to do with the baby.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery and best wishes for the new one

Hi XXXXXXX
I think you can wait for few more days till you deliver if rash is not much.
Best wishes to you and the new arrival.
