Let your dr know. Its common to itch but there is also a liver condition that occurs during pregnancy that causes extreme itching .....especially hands and feet. Google it to find out more. Best of Luck!!!

Hi there I think you should tell your doc asap about ur itching!  It's a horrible itching you get everywhere in your body specially in your hands & feet & doesn't let you sleep at night.

I had this in my 1st pregnancy & I have it again I'm 30 weeks pregnant of my second baby & because of this itching I will once again get induce at 37 weeks because it puts the baby at risk.

My doc told me some women develop it late in pregnacy & not like me early in the pregnancy.  I hope you feel better soon I know how horrible it feels.

My whole body didn't itch but my belly did with my last pregnancy. Drove me crazy! If there's no rash indicating an allergic reaction try an oatmeal lotion like Aveeno. If that doesn't help or you havea rash i would talk to your doc.
