Advice on pregnancy itching

Keep an eye on it. It could be a harmless itch or could be cholestasis

I will get itchy around my belly, back, legs, and butt but it’s all places where my body is growing. I use vitamin e oil or a moisturizer and that seems to help.

My back is driving me insane it’s been itchy and keeping me awake, and my legs! I moisturise every night but I find that bio oils etc have a lot of allergens so try avoid that has helped a bit. I got the working hands cream for severe itchy skin and use it all over it has a heat in it and helps xx

I used the itch relief lotion, and it helped with my itching.

I had this too. It wasn’t cholestasis. I used eucerin eczema cream. It worked okay

I had Cholestasis in both pregnancies and itching is typically confined to the hands and feet and is worse at night. There’s no harm in mentioning it to your midwife though and if she’s concerned she’ll send you to triage for bloods. I had to have my second baby early due to it x

I don’t know if it’s the right advice, but I looked at what antihistamines I could take and seems to have really helped. Was driving me insane at night!

Thank you! It was a rash on my stomach and boobs and no itching on hands and feet. Didn’t match the description for Cholestasis but have midwife tomorrow so will mention just to make sure x
