If it's that bad you may need to talk to your doctor bc back in August that's happen to my sister and they said it was her liver and she had to get induced at 37 weeks. She would just itch and itch.

I had that too With my first pregnancy. Take oatmeal baths. You can buy Aveeno oatmeal packets made specifically for itchy skin. I got mine at WalMart. I still have them actually. But thank God I'm not itchy this time around.

Ya it is.  Your skin is stretching, which causes the itchy effect. I've had it with other pregnancies and will probably have it again.
