itchy and crampy could I be pregnant

[strongetta]

Hello all, a few days ago I woke up, took a shower and my thighs were itching like crazy, then I notice it wasn't just my legs, it was my arms, stomach, breasts, hands, feet, back.  I have put lotion on but it still itches, I thought maybe my skin was dry but it is not it is nice and soft.  I just thought it was weird because I have never been this itchy before.  I have also had crampy calves where it feels like I am going to get a Charlie Horse but I don't, when I eat bananas I don't get it and that started about a week ago too.  I have been getting heartburn and a tinge in my breast, I am not due to get my cycle until next week but I am also one of those ppl that notices changes in my body.  Just wondering if anyone else that is pregnant has had these symptoms.

Thanks,

Jenn

You might want to see a dermatologist. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply, that does help and I know that with the weather constantly changing that doesn't help either.  I will keep you updated when the time comes.

It is true that you get dry skin and cramps when you're pregnant but it's not usually until late in the pregnancy.  The cramping is usually caused by lack of calcium and the dry skin from your skin streaching.  I had both symtoms but not until the end of my second trimester.  Not to say you're not pregnant, but I don't think it you would experience those symtoms yet.  If you're breasts are extremely tender, almost too painful to touch, you may be pregnant.  That's usually the first sign of pregnancy, but again, you don't usually start to have symptoms until 4-6 weeks.  I'm not a doctor but just had a baby 3 months ago and had EVERY symptom associated with pregnancy, and I too am very intune with my body.  Hope this helps.
