Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.

It is not normal and it would be good for her to be hospitalized and pregnancy closely monitored since there are liver disorders that occur in pregnancy and may affect babies and mothers health.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
