Hello sir and welcome.
There is no risk as such to the mother or the child. The serum levels can fluctuate during pregnancy, but do not worry it will soon return to normal. In my opinion, try some home remedies like calamine lotion to help soothe the itching and prevent damage to the skin.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
