Plagued with itch, 21 weeks
Has anyone been plagued with a pregnancy itch? I had a slight itchy stretching feeling on my breasts early in pregnancy but this past week-10 days I’ve been absolutely annihilated with itch below my boobs, all across and around my thighs & the tops of my feet. So much so that I could scratch so much I almost draw blood. It is almost always in the evenings, beginning around 7-9pm. At first I wondered was it anything to do with the clexane injections I take for high risk clotting - but I tend to begin scratching before I even take it at 9pm. Any hints or suggestions would be more than welcome x

All over my legs and arms for past few days feels like needles poking into my skin to the point if I don’t itch my limbs are jumping I’m 17 weeks today
it’s wild isn’t it? I wasn’t sure if this was a common thing
I’d speak to your midwife and ask for bloods to be done just to ensure it’s not something underlying instead of just pregnancy itching x
