ITCHY!!!!!

I'm itchy like crazy!!! On this app it says that it's common but doesn't say anymore than that. It's mainly my torso, my stomach, chest, sides and back. I'm so itchy it's so bothersome. Anyone else have this issue?? I put lotion on which helps some but I can't get rid of the itchiness completely. It's driving me crazy! Any tips? Or am I the only one?? Btw, this is my 2nd child and this never happened with my first one.

you could try switching to a sensitive washing powder for clothes and bedding?i itch in pregnancy and am always plastering myself in moisturiser..but my daughter suffers from eczema and her skin is sensitive to biological washing powder..so have to use non bio for all clothes and bedding..it may help :)

I get the same on my legs and lower back to the point i bleed where it is so itchy. The only thing that soothes it is a nice warm bath and im fine again for the day. I had the same with my first pregnancy and the pharmacist recommened doublebase cream which really helped but it hasnt helped at all this time
