Yes ! I’m the exact same. Started about 6 weeks ago really bad itching on my back, belly and arms, gets worse at night. I just moisturise as much as possible so my skin isn’t so tight but I still itch regardless x

Yess! My legs are the worst! As gross as this sounds I have to get my partner to itch my legs as I can’t do it hard enough 😂 xx

When I was pregnant with my little boy, I had really itchy legs and feet. Ended up being diagnosed with Cholestasis of pregnancy which resulted in me having to be induced early due to risks. Worth mentioning to your midwife if it continues!

Could be cholastasis as someone else said. I have had it with all my pregnancies. No cream you will put on will help if so. They say it's only diagnosed in the 2- 3rd trimester however I was 10 weeks, then 6 weeks with my last. My current pregnancy I am showing no signs yet at 24 weeks but I know it will come. It is treated by medicine which completely controls the itching and normally will go to 38 weeks max. Other than that it doesn't make much of a difference with pregnancy. It's diagnosed with a liver function and bile acid blood test if you speak to your midwife she will probably just get you to do it to be on the safe side xx

thank you so much Amy for the information ❤️

Yep! I had blood tests to check for cholastasis but all was fine. A few people I know had the same when they were pregnant. I got antihistamines prescribed to help but only take them when I’m desperate! It’s so awful

I had unbearable itching for about 2 weeks at around 17 weeks . I switched to more natural washing powders and shower gel etc . The midwife said it’s most likely your body randomly becoming sensitive to things you’ve never had a problem with before . Hope it goes soon for you !
