Alkaline phosphatase levels naturally increase during the third trimester because the placenta produces this enzyme as your baby grows. A level of 138 is typically considered normal during pregnancy and does not usually pose any risk to your baby or the delivery. However, your doctor may still monitor your liver function and perform other tests to rule out any liver or bile duct issues.
