I went through that on my first pregnancy and it was very uncomfortable. The thing that help me a little was "Caladryl" a white bottle, its a clear liquid for itch. I would put a good amount over my tummy and let it air dry which made a thin coat. It worked for plenty of hours, then I would wash it off and do it again. Hey, it was better then nothing. My OB gave me that idea.

You should mention this to your doctor. It could be a condition called cholestasis and very concerning while pregnant.
