i think you might want to call L&D bc i heard extreme itching can be a symptom of issues in the liver. might as well call to be sure and see what they say.

I’m sorry the only thing that helped me was lotion, I think I’ve heard of coconut oil helping a lot as well

This happened to me it’s supposedly because your skin is stretching it’s better if you moisturize your skin you won’t feel it as much. An oil works good for this. Coconut oil is good or Shea butter or some type of body butter or something. It’ll also help prevent stretch marks

I'm literally iching as we speak all over 38.4

girl it’s horrible 😩 I can’t sleep sometimes of how bad it gets but I will definitely try lotion and oils 😩hopefully it helps!! If not I will ask my ob if there’s anything I can do to make it go away or at least control it 😣

Definitely speak with your OB about this! I developed intense itching in November (hands and feet especially), my OB sent me to get labs done right away and I got a confirmed diagnosis of Cholestasis (it’s a liver problem). I’ve been on meds ever since and they’ve helped tremendously! Hopefully this is not your case and it’s just normal pregnancy itch, best wishes to you and your little one🩷🩷

You could try the oatmeal baths they make for eczema! My itching is so bad rn but thankfully it’s just in my stomach. I plan on trying the bath soak tomorrow 🙏🏼

I second talking to your ob. I didn't have cholestasis but covid wrecked my liver and that was my noticeable symptom.

38 weeks and 5 days and the itching is awful. i feel like im going to scratch myself to death😭 the itchiness of the boobs is what’s taking me out

No call your doctor. Serious itching, especially when it’s sudden or won’t go away, is a sign of choleostasis which is a real issue with your liver that develops in pregnancy and they generally have to induce if your levels get too high in your blood. I’d call asap. Could be nothing but could be something serious.
