Is it normal for your cholesterol to go up in pregnancy?

In November I had perfect cholesterol and now it is a little bit on the higher end. Just wondering if pregnancy can cause this

Yes, it is normal for cholesterol to be elevated during pregnancy. This appears to be related to hormones during pregnancy.  good luck
