I was told about the itchy being a sign of your liver not processing as well from all the progesterone. Make sure your doctor knows.

Im 40 weeks today. i itched bad at the beginning and middle of my pregnancy. its normal. when you get in your 3rd trimester your nipples will itch bad too but its just them getting ready for milk and your airolas popping out. don't wash off your nipples in the shower cuz they are going to produce oils to keep them from drying up. i watched a breastffeeding video today and learned this info!!

There is am actual disorder you can get while pregnant. It has to do with liver functions when your pregnant and goes away after thamk god that causes the horrible itching. A friend of mine had it so its recent in my mind. Im sorry like i said i cant remembee the name but TELL your dr.bcuz if you have that if has to be treated and watched not trying to worry you. And there is meds to help with the horrible Itching.good luck let me know jow u make out

Palmer's sells a vitamin oil spray for itchy skin. It's for pregnant women works really good. I got it at the drug store. It's in a spray bottle and its kind of orange looking.
