Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You should consult a gynaecologist for your problem, this problem may be because of cholestasis of pregnancy( in which bilirubin and liver function test increased and severe itching all over body) it may resolve after delivery.
So please don't worry.
For itching you can use camphor with coconut oil.
Good luck.
Take care.
