Has anyone else suffered from extreme itchiness all over their body? It’s worse on a night time and it’s keeping me awake at night 😩
I know it’s something to be concerned about later on but I’m only 14 weeks

I suffer with it too mainly my arms and legs though, haven’t found anything to help ease it yet and I’m constantly getting told off by my partner for scratching 🤣🤣

Yes! I’ve found that keeping the room cool/no heating on helps. Pulling the duvet back so it’s cold on a night. Put some E45 or just some cream before you sleep

I’ve been horrific!! I’m 13 weeks tomorrow, but my legs are covered in rash’s and it’s spread all across my legs and thighs so I’m hoping to go the walk in tomorrow! Keeps me awake!

Unfortunately it is normal, a moisturiser for extremely dry skin such as aveeno helps. Only a concern if it's the soles of your feet and palm of your hands that are itchy x

I had this with my first and used moisturiser for dry skin never suffered dry skin before this but moisturiser definitely helped x

Thank you! Im going to try and get some Aveeno today. It got so bad last night that I was in the bath at 2am😭x

Ahhh me too! I’ve described it as feeling like I’m sunburnt & any clothes/underwear really irritates my skin. Particularly bad at night as a few of you have said.
Glad to hear it’s nothing to worry about!x

I had this before I was pregnant when I was on pregnacare multivitamins. I switched to just folic acid and vitamin D and it stopped.
