So i been really itchy from everywhereee its so annoying how i have to be scratching myself all the time, especially my hands they are really dry and sooo itchy i have like a rash on my hands it looks kinda brownish, idk how it happened it just started out of nowhere then my whole body started to itch, has this happened to anyone? Or is it because of pregnancy? Anyone know what could be or whats good for it?

Another common name is PUPPS, its horrible I have it as well. Online there's tons of women who recommend 'grandpas pine tar soap', they say it works wonders. I tried coconut oil with no luck. Its taken over my skin, just hoping the soap stuff works. My drs only suggestion is if it gets too unbearable, we'll induce.

Tell your midwife so she can check it out, it's very annoying and it's better to have OC ruled out. I've used coconut oil on my hair and for cooking though haven't tried it on the itchy bits! I'll have to get on that!

Try using coconut oil on your body. That's what I use and it works wonders!

How many weeks are you?  I'm having this problem. I was diagnosed with PEP in my last pregnancy on my stomach and this pregnancy is worse as it's not just on stomach this time. I've woke up with scrab marks down my face from itching in my sleep and I've got blood blisters all over my chest from scratching.

It's horrible isn't it?  Mention it to your midwife next time as some women in last trimester develop obstetric cholestasis which causes severe itching and needs to be monitored.
