Hello

I think you are suffering from intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.
Your doctor has prescribed you the right medicine as it's going to help you with the removal of excess bile acids. You can also take anti histamines to control itching.

Some doctors prolong pregnancy till 38 weeks to deliver however there are chances of increased bleeding post partum.

I hope I have answered your query.
