Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
While it is normal to have an elevated AlkPhos during pregnany, it is NOT normal to have an elevation of the other labs that you mentioned. This could be related to serious problems such as "cholestasis of pregnancy" or "preeclampsia". You must contact your doctor immediately to review the significance of these labs and discuss timing of delivery. This is potentially very serious.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
