Hi I've been itching, cramping, breast are really tender to the touch. Everything I eat I vomit up everything, and im right back hungry. I have bleeding gums, I haven't tested yet. I have all the signs I never cramp before my period. If I am this would be my first so my body is changing before my eyes and I am very irritated.

I've recently noticed some itching on my bump and some on my nipples and boobs, from the comments above, it's more than likely the growing and stretching. If you are concerned about itching all over, I would definately inform a medical person about this such as your doctor or midwife.

Please let us know how you've gone on.

extreme itching can mean oc, which affects yur liver function. you do need to see your dr to rule this out.

With my 2nd son my legs iched so bad I literly scratched the skin off. It turned out to be some kind of ezsma(sp?) My skin is super sensitive, I couldnt even put lostion on after shaving because I would break out in a rash. I never really knew how bad it was untill I saw pictures of myself after my son was born. Most of the pictures taken had my leg exposed. It looked really bad!

well it's winter time and people tend to get more itchy this time of year in general.   but if you are talking about your belly being itchy, it's probably from the skin stretching.  Just kept moisturizing!!

Let us know what they tell you.  Now I am just curious :)  Good luck!

Thankyou everyone,
No I am not itching on my belly, this is my third pregnancy i dont thiink it could stretch anymore lol It is everywhere other then my belly, but i am going to make a dc app andhope they can some how help me!!

I am with munter on this.  I find my belly a bit itchy, but I can't really see a reason why you would itch everywhere.  Call your dr. It could be something really easy that they can prescribe for you and put you out of your misery!

Hi if you are itchy everywhere i would call your doctor as i am reading in my midwife book and it says "check with your LMC at once if you have" A list of things and in that list it was persistent itching. So obviously it must mean something. I agree with the others that if it's only your stomach thats itchy i wouldn't worry but i would call either your midwife or doctor and ask them about it.

I am very itchy too I thought maybe it was just from winter weather and dryness...
If your belly is itchy, try cocoa butter or any lotion, really.  It really does itch as it stretches!  lol

[drmwvrjean]

it depends on where you are itching at...for instance, in my first two pregnancies my belly itched like mad!!  what always worked for me was cocoa butter...it helps with the itching and supposedly the stretch marks!!   :)  hope everything works out ok!!  take care!!

My legs were itchy for a while and i find my skin is more sensitive than normal. Try a aveeno itch relief bath before bedtime. But if the itching is really bad in your legs and feet than ve carful becuase it could be colistasis. Which I guess is a bad thing in pregnancy.
