  I had that my first trimester. It was a rash called pupps. I used pine tar soap and a lukewarm bath for the itch. And ended up seeing s dermatology doc

  Not itchy (as in, without reason). But interestingly, I was itchy like that for a few years leading UP TO the pregnancy and it seems to have gone away now but one thing i AM getting is a majorly ugly reaction to hotel soaps. 
  
  I've had to travel a fair bit in my first trimester and every hotel i stay at, I react to the soaps. My boobs especially. They turn bright red and blotchy, get warm and itch a little.

  With DS, my stomach itched most of the pregnancy. I bought lotion just to keep at work so i could lather it on whenever i needed to. This pregnancy my skin is super dry, dry face, dry hands, but no itchy stomach...yet. Don't forget to start using lotion on your stomach now to keep it moisturized as it starts to stretch.

  If you're still getting an itchy stomach while using lotions, switch to an oil (I like Burt's Bee's Mama Bee Belly Oil). The oil penetrates deeper into the skin than the lotions do and can give you additional relief and hydration.
