Itchy legs

Everytime I go for a walk outside, my legs feel like they are on fire they are itching so bad!  I didn't experience this pre-pregnancy.  Has anyone else ever had this happen?

    Is it cold or cool where you are?  I used to get this when I would go for a walk and it was cold and the wind would blow on my legs.

    I used to get that when I lived in TN. I use Eucerine itch relief lotion for my legs and that helps a lot.

    I think it has to do with blood flow to that part of the body.  I get it even when I work out inside.  I'm not sure if there's anything you can really do about it.  It means you're getting a cardio workout and it lessens as you get into better shape (under normal non-pregnancy circumstances).  Whenever I worked out hard pre-pregnancy doing plyometrics, I would itch like hell.  Now I itch like crazy just going for a walk!

    You may have dry skin when before you may not have. Just lotion up before you go outside.
