Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take it.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your healthcare.

I have gone through your history and pictures in detail and understand your concern.
You are having these petechial rashes (due to scratching)and itching due to cholestatic of pregnancy but it could be due to other causes also.

You can get your blood test done to rule out iron deficiency ( low hemoglobin) and thrombocytopenia (low platelets).

You can take Allegra 120mg after consulting your treating doctor for the itching and apply Lacto calamine lotion on rashes.

You should take multivitamin also.
There is a little chance of premature delivery also.

As your bile acid normal, get your LFT test done and if needed start Udiliv tablet after consulting your treating doctor for the same.

Hope you found this useful, feel free to ask for more information.
Good luck
Regards
