Brief Answer:
Antihistaminic & moisturising lotion

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your complaints and itching is very common in pregnancy.
I would recommend her to take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily at bedtime and apply a moisturising lotion containing white soft paraffin like olesoft XXXXXXX lotion on the entire body twice daily for 10 days.
Also get her liver function tests done.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
