itchy all over

123pcb

I'm almost 18 weeks along and I have started to really itch on my belly and my right boob. I'm in my office lathering up with lotion hoping that helps, but it does not seem to be helping. The boob is the worst. So strange.

 Anyone else have this happen?

I did...and it sucked!  It started when I was 33 weeks and I had severe itching that started in my hands and feet that spread to everywhere on my body .  It was so bad that I could hardly sleep.  My doctor did bloodwork and found out that I had cholestasis.  It doesn't sound like that's what you have but definitely keep an eye on it and talk to your doctor about it if it continues.  Try Aveeno oatmeal baths and Sarna cream.  Hope you get some relief soon!

My tummy was getting pretty itchy right about that time, my dr said due to the stretching. Even though its numb now it still gets the itchy feeling but it hurts if I itch it so I do well not to!

I hate this because my belly can get really itchy sometimes and my nurse said it happen to her and it is normal not to worry about it. Though somtimes it can get so bad, i usely take a bath and that helps if i am not in the position to bathe then i pput some dry skin lotion on my belly and that seems to relive it for awhile. hope it stops soon for you i know it sucks
