Im 21 weeks and have experienced itchy skin no bumps except for a few and they only pop up when i scratch hard has anyone else had this problem? Is this normal and why does it happen?

I think its because of stretchmarks. When they first started coming out on my baby bump I could not stop scratching.  I put lotion and stretchmarks itchy oil but it didnt help. Finally my doctor just told me to not wash my bump every day with soap and to not put any products on because sometimes they are the ones causing irritation. Now I dont feel that itchy.
