Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
I need to know her complete Liver Function Test report.
Jaundice in pregnancy can be due to :
1. Acute Fatty Liver Of pregnancy
2. Viral Hepatitis E
3. HELLP Syndrome
4. Obstructive causes.

I advise you to get het complete LFT and Ultrasound Abdomen done to rule out all possible causes.
She requires evaluation since rise in ALT and AST is there.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
