Thank you,  off to doctors Monday for some blood test to see if it's linked to my liver being oversized.  Fingers crossed it's just a reaction to something

I had itchy feet and hands.  It was maddening.  My doctor had me apply Cortaid over the counter to it.  I just tried to stay busy but it is hard.  I'm sorry you are having this itchiness.  Here is an article to see if it can help at all:  http://www.medhelp.org/pregnancy-health/articles/Itching-During-Pregnancy-Your-Symptoms-Manual/2094  good luck

I'm getting itchy skin where I'm beginning to stretch (14 weeks). I've started putting cocoa butter on right after the shower and that helps, it makes skin more elastic.
