What Are The Symptom Of Cholestasis In Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 33 weeks pregnant and I noticed yesterday that several places on my body feel like sunburnt to touch. One place is under my left knee, back of my left arm, upper back and base of my belly (which feels better today). I put on about 17kg so far, second pregnancy, 35 yrs old.Do you think is cholestasis or is my skin just expanding to accomodate the weight gain? Thank you
