This happened with my first. It ended up being the detergent I was using.. I switched to All free and clear and also used Aveeno oatmeal lotion.. after a few days it was much better.

I was told that's often your gal bladder having too much hormones in it to process properly. I wasn't told how they helped. Have you tried changing your diet? Just a shot in the dark...

You can take benadryl. But try more water and an oatmeal bath first

That happened to me with my first pregnancy. I itched constantly on my legs and stomach. I went to the doctor and nothing worked. They said there was nothing they could do. Sorry, I know that isn't the answer you want to hear. That was 7 years ago,  so maybe things have changed since then. Good luck!
