Hi,
Once OC is diagnosed, you will have regular LFTs until your baby is born, so that your doctor can monitor your condition.
Creams, such as calamine lotion, are safe to use in pregnancy and can provide some relief from itching. Your doctor may prescribe a medication to reduce bile salts and ease itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
