Itchy feet
May be a silly question but has anyone had problems with itching, specifically feet? I'm 27weeks and last night I was awake all night with incredibly itchy feet. Had no rash and putting cream on them didn't help. I started itching again an hour ago, and again it's just on my feet!
I get it almost nightly during my 2nd and 3rd trimester. My OB said it was common and to try an anti itch spray like benedryl (works most of the time)also try keeping them extra moisturizers, I used vitamin E oil and it helps a lot.
Agreed^^ my sister got this at around the same time and that's what it was.....
I posted an answer and now it's gone.
Mild itching is pretty common in pregnancy, but severe itching of the bottoms of your feet or hands is a symptom of cholestasis, which is a liver condition in pregnancy. Do you have access to call your doctor today? If not, first thing in the morning tomorrow would be best.
