Hi I think you can be having cholestasis of pregnancy. You can take ursodeoxycholic and liv 52 tablets after consulting your doctor. You can take some antihistaminics like cetrizine or avil if itching is more. You can apply calamine lotion over itchy areas. Generally it is not a risky condition but you should be careful in last trimester to not overrun your due date. Have frequent antenatal check up. Hope it helps.
