mysterious itching

I've never had this itching problem with my 1st pregnancy, I constantly get a random itch here and there,and another constant itch in the middle of my back where I got an epidural from my 1st, any relative stories here?or have I officially lost my mind?

Extreme itching can be a sign of Cholestasis of pregnancy. Basically the baby is putting a lot of stress on your body and making it hard for your liver to process toxins, talk to your Dr if it gets to bad, it can harm baby

I get it too, apparently it's your skin stretching that causes the itchiness. Try moisturizing!
