Itchy all over

in February 2015 Moms
I'm 27 weeks today and I've been itchy all over for at least 3 weeks now. I moisturize at least twice daily. Cold showers and keeping cool as much as I can. No rash but can't stop the itch. It's not just tummy and boobs either.
Has anyone else experienced this? I can't bath in anything because we have no bath

    Without a rash I would call your doc. Itching can be a sign of liver issues.

    I don't know where in the country you live but if you live someplace where you're running your heater, maybe the air is getting too dry. You could try a humidifier. Also a word of advice that I teach my patients... Make sure the lotion that you are using is petroleum based, not water based. Using creams
    Like Eucerin, Aquaphor, or just plain Vaseline (not the lotion) are great. Water based moisturizers are hard on the skin because the water evaporates leaving all of the other chemicals on your skin that can cause increased drying or itching.

    Have you changed detergents recently? I had that happen after switching brands.

    My first though echo's what t8keeper03 said, it could be allergies. Check with your doctor, but Benedryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) is safe for most pregnant women and would greatly reduce the itching if it is allergies.

    I hope you get some relief!

    I was itchy with my first pregnancy and now it's kicking in with this one.  It sucks!  I don't think the winter dry air is going to help it, but it might not be the sole cause as I had it in the middle of summer with my first pregnancy.  I would have DH massage my back to get me to sleep at night, and that seemed to help me forget about the itching enough to go to sleep.

    Good luck!

    If Claritin doesn't help I would call your OB. It could be cholestasis.
