Get an Alkaline phosphatase done. It is the blood level which needs to be checked in case of pregnancy itching.
In the meantime she can apply calamine lotion to reduce the itching.

It's a sign of liver congestion cholestasis. It's a serious issue. Please find a good Obstetrician who really knows how to handle this and work with them. Early delivery may be indicated.

Itching is due to many reasons.....but major factors are
cholestasis in pregnancy
new tissue being formed to increase tummy girth to accomodate pregnancy
Apart from taking the medicines that you have you can try by
- changing iron preparation (tabs)
- having bath 2 times a day
- using moisturising soap
- Use of sandalwood paste or lactocalamine totion can be tried....
