I itch the most on my tummy and breasts where the skin is all stretched out, but I do itch everywhere else, too. It is rather annoying.

I think you need to tell the Dr... My doctor said that serious itchy is a symptom of something very bad... So try n be real about how itchy you are.. Not to be scary n negative.. I just know it could be something other than our growing curves :)

I did around 30-34 weeks.  It sucked. I could barely sleep at night cause I itched so bad like .. everywhere  especially legs and sometimes my skin felt like it was burning ... stinging.. like fire ants. I'm 36 weeks and I'm good now (: I get occasional itching but it's so much better. I don't feel it most days. Hopefully your itching will get better (: it should I think

Kd is right. I told my dr about my itching and they drew blood to make sure my liver was functioning well. Sometimes the liver will start failing during pregnancy and all those toxins not being filtered are released into your body and it makes your skin itch.

Itching is a sign of a number of things so yes tell your OB! I had itching however everything was fine and that could be the case with you as well

Usually cholestasis makes your palms and feet itch, not your body in general. You can mention it to an OB, but most don't bother testing you if your hands and feet don't itch because dry skin is super common during pregnancy.

At 36 weeks I started itching really bad all over and started to get a rash on my arms legs and belly and my feet itched like crazy. Thought it was just allergies or heat rash since I live in Florida. I ended up showing my dr she told me it was pupps a rash developed in pregnancy.  Man was I miserable. I'm now a week after delivery and its started going away and I feel 100× better. Hope you get some relief soon
