Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. In the current scenario, your liver function should be assessed further by a physician or a gastroenterologist and further management planned. Your investigation reports suggest, though not specific, of some hepatic malfunction. Raised alkaline phosphatase can be seen during the third trimester of pregnancy due to elevated isoenzyme levels. Clinical correlation is more important in the diagnosis. There may not be any significant impact on the baby as your pregnancy has reached term; the coagulation profile should be assessed and any abnormal values taken care of prior to delivery. Wish you good health.
