Extremely itchy skin!

[crissy4k]

Is anyone else having this problem? I am 29 weeks and 5 days along in my pregnancy and for the past couple days I've experienced extremely itchy skin. I have noticed that my feet in my palms of my hands are more itchy than normal. I have read on the internet that could be bile from your liver? So I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this I am going to consult my doctor today and see what he says.

They say it's a pregnancy thing called red handed  cause your hands and feet turn red and can be extremely itchy.

I have used organic coconut oil this whole time! I just got cocoa butter today to try.

I have itchy skin as well, but then again I always have since childhood. Try organic coconut oil. Should help.

Went to the dr today and they are doing lab test on my liver enzymes. I've not heard from my dr yet on results. I'm hoping for the best. However my skin is still crawling. Almost like anxiety and what it feels like to be flushed with fever. It comes and goes at this point. Dr prescribed me hydroxyzine but I'm afraid to take it because I read birth defects have resulted in taking this medicine. Im hoping to here from my dr to see what he says because the pharmacy told me about the side affects.

I would go to see my doctor if i were you, let them check your urine especially if symptoms are accompanied by swelling

I'm 33 weeks and still experience itchy skin! It's just from your body growing,  it's normal,  just use some lotion. Good luck!
